Scary Movie (Film) – TV Tropes

Scary Movie is a movie series that pastiches horror film tropes in the vein of Airplane! and The Naked Gun.The series was originally directed by the Wayans family's Keenan Ivory Wayans, and was written in large part by his brothers Shawn (playing Ray, pictured top right) and Marlon (playing Shorty, pictured bottom left). The first movie was mainly a parody of the first Scream, although it also heavily spoofed I Know What You Did Last Summer and took jabs at various other films, and not necessarily just from the horror genre. Despite the promises of no sequels, a second movie was released under the tagline "We Lied", which mainly spoofed the 1999 remakes of The Haunting and House on Haunted Hill.Following the departure of the Wayans family from the series, the following two films were directed by David Zucker (who directed, wrote and produced the previously mentioned The Naked Gun and Airplane films alongside his brother Jerry and their partner Jim Abrahams. The third movie combined the storylines of Signs and The Ring, while it had a subplot spoofing 8 Mile. The "fourth and final chapter of the trilogy" mainly parodied The Village, The Grudge and War of the Worlds while also incorporating a bit of Saw.After years in Development Hell, a fifth film was released in April 2013, and mainly parodies Mama, Paranormal Activity and Black Swan, while also touching on Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Inception, The Cabin in the Woods and Evil Dead.These films helped to kick off a new wave of parody films, including the... less well received ones of Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedberg, who were minor contributing writers to the first film of this series.Compare Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth, which came out around the same time as the first movie and has a very similar main plotline (the way it's tackled notwithstanding).

This franchise in general

Brenda: Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh UH! Now wait a minute, hold up! How come when anytime this scary shit happens, and we should stick together, you white people always say "let's split up"?

Theo: She's right, we should stick together.

Dwight: She's right. Okay. You three, follow me! *Points to white people, leaving the three black people in another group*

Shorty: Ain't that a bitch.

Brenda: We gonna die, y'all.

What I'm trying to say Tom, is that you and I should be fighting these things, it should be us coming up out of the ground. Of course we'll have to bury ourselves first, but it'll be worth it. Cool breeze, no sunblock, worms. When we build our tripods, they'll have four legs.

Cindy: Brenda! I thought you were dead!

Brenda: Oh Cindy, I thought you were dead too.
