New ‘Scary Movie’ Poster and Trailer Will Thrill Ya, Take Aim at ‘Michael’
Prepare to tee-hee.
Lionsgate’s Michael comes out this weekend, and Paramount is throwing serious shade with the new trailer and poster for Scary Movie, promising to touch fans everywhere on June 5.
The previous teaser posters parodied both Weapons and Midsommar, two highly regarded horror films, and Scary Movie plans to take loving jabs at them.
Now, the filmmakers are preparing to thrill audiences with their parody of Michael in Scary Movie, teased in the brand-new trailer shared above.
The film takes place 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. Clearly.
Scary Movie brings back Dave Sheridan as Doofy, Cheri Oteri as Gale, Regina Hall as Brenda, Marlon Wayans as Shorty, and Anna Faris as Cindy.
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, and M3GAN – shit, 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.
