‘Scary Movie’ – Heads Will Roll on New Poster Featuring Loads of Horror Icons
Fans are anxiously awaiting the return of the Scary Movie franchise this summer. Following Amy Madigan’s Best Supporting Actress win for Weapons, Paramount immediately dropped a poster spoofing the performance. And today, the film’s official account over on X has released a new poster promising “heads will roll” and featuring a host of horror references to get fans losing their own.
On the poster, we see various heads depicting returning cast members, including Dave Sheridan as Doofy, Cheri Oteri as Gale, Regina Hall as Brenda, Marlon Wayans as Shorty, and Anna Faris as Cindy. And of course, Ghostface. We also get a look at a handful of characters that will be spoofed in the sequel, such as M3GAN, Terrifier‘s Art the Clown, one of the henchmen from Squid Games (featuring a marijuana leaf on his face, because of course), and is that a play on Wednesday Addams that I see in the second to last row on the right?
Either way, it looks like horror fans are going to be treated to all of the references they can handle, and we can’t fucking wait.
In the sixth entry of the popular horror spoof franchise, twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (Ghostface), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe.
Marlon Wayans (Shorty), Shawn Wayans (Ray), Anna Faris (Cindy), and Regina Hall (Brenda) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
For those keeping count, here are some of the movies lampooned in Scary Movie: Terrifier 3, Weapons, Sinners, A Quiet Place, Annabelle, MA, Get Out, The Substance, andM3GAN – it even takes multiple jabs (or stabs, if you will) at the new Scream films, which is the main reason the 2000 Scary Movie is so damn good.
Paramount Pictures will now release Scary Movie in theaters everywhere on June 5, 2026.
