A Killer Return for the Core Four

More than two decades after first dodging a masked maniac, the original gang is back for another round of cinematic carnage in Scary Movie (2026). Directed by Michael Tiddes, this 96-minute horror-comedy sequel sees the 'Core Four' once again in the crosshairs of a very familiar killer, this time taking aim at the entire landscape of modern horror movie intellectual property. No franchise is safe from its irreverent, slapstick spoofing.

The Spoof Squad Reassembles

The film's success is powered by the return of its iconic ensemble. Marlon Wayans pulls multiple duties as the scene-stealing Shorty (and several other disguises), while Shawn Wayans returns as the hapless Ray. Anna Faris and Regina Hall reprise their roles as the perpetually screaming Cindy and the sharp-tongued Brenda, respectively. They're joined by Damon Wayans Jr. as Agent Underwood, Gregg Wayans as Brad, Kim Wayans as Nurse Ratchett, and Benny Zielke as Jess, creating a chaotic blend of characters ready for anything.

A Box Office Horror Story (For the Competition)

The Scary Movie 2026 box office performance is the stuff of studio dreams. It continues to play in 225 theaters, demonstrating impressive staying power and audience demand long after its opening.

The combination of a beloved cast, a proven spoof formula, and minuscule financial risk has resulted in a comedy-horror hit with remarkably strong legs.
