Scary Movie upcoming 6 — About This Gallery:

In this list, we’re highlighting the movies that Marlon Wayans himself has already confirmed will be parodied in the upcoming *Scary Movie 6*. Of course, knowing this franchise, there’s a good chance a few surprise victims will sneak their way in too – because what’s a parody movie without some unexpected twists? | © Miramax

Cropped I Know What You Did Last Summer 2025 — I Know What You Did Last Summer (2025)

By the time the credits roll, the revival slasher leans heavy into guilt, secrets, and revenge – prime targets for *Scary Movie 6* to skew. The tension of someone knowing your darkest secret, the slow reveal of murderous stalking, and the iconic hook are ripe for parody. Imagine the absurdity: someone sending passive-aggressive post-it notes, the slasher fumbling his own hook, or victims rewinding to re-pack their alibis. In its serious version, the film explores how hidden crimes come back to bite you; in parody mode, that bite might just be a rubber chicken. | © Columbia Pictures

Cropped Sinners 2025 — Sinners (2025)

This film blends Southern Gothic, supernatural horror, and musical beats in a way that practically begs *Scary Movie 6* to riff on its tone. With twin brothers returning home only to be confronted by something restless and evil, there's so much thematic ground to parody: dramatic family reunions, over-the-top supernatural reveals, and evil that shows up with jazz hands. The contrast between solemn dread and musical interludes? Comedy gold. Plus, visuals and period costumes are rich enough that exaggerated versions could lean into absurdity without losing homage. It’s a movie that takes itself seriously – and that’s exactly what makes it fodder for parody. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Cropped Heretic 2024 — Heretic (2024)

Two missionaries knocking on doors with their faith in tow get way more than they bargained for once they tread into *Heretic*’s shadowy house of horrors. The film sets up a cat-and-mouse game with moral stakes, believable characters, and a religious backdrop that’s ripe for exaggeration: sermons turning into shouting matches, supernatural lectures gone off-script, or a ghostly manifesto delivered in dramatic fashion. Because *Heretic* takes spiritual tension seriously, parodying it could involve tongue-in-cheek theology, haunted missionaries debating philosophy, or a house that’s more concerned with belief than body count. When Mr. Reed questions faith, a spoof might have faith questioning Mr. Reed right back. | © A24

Cropped Longlegs 2024 — Longlegs (2024)

Imagine tracking a serial killer whose leg-length and creepiness are the stuff of nightmares – and then imagine *Scary Movie 6* turning that dread into slapstick. In *Longlegs*, an FBI agent races occult clues and a traumatizing murder pattern; for the parody, throw in absurd clues like receipts from a late night taco run, or a killer leaving cryptic notes typed on a vintage typewriter that sound more dramatic than they are. The pacing, dark mood, and occult imagery give serious tension, which parody could undercut with comedic timing, false scares, and ridiculous jump-scares where nothing actually lands. It’s the kind of film where shadows whisper horror – and also where a shadow could accidentally trip you. | © Saturn Films

Cropped Scream VI 2023 — Scream VI (2023)

Meta horror was built for parody, and *Scream VI* gives *Scary Movie 6* a lot to play with. With characters who already talk about horror tropes and rules, satirizing their self-awareness feels like comedy on easy mode. Maybe the Ghostface caller complains about remakes, characters pause mid-chase to lecture us on genre clichés, or masks get mixed up in a cosplay contest. The original walks that line between homage and tension – parody can flirt with breaking it entirely. | © Paramount Pictures

Cropped Nope 2022 — Nope (2022)

In Jordan Peele’s film, spectacle, technology, and alien mystery collide. The parody twist could be a spaceship that’s just a drone with a bad attitude or townsfolk live-streaming every scare on social media. The original uses vastness and silence to evoke dread; the spoof version might fill it with commentary overlays, reaction cam cuts, or absurd alien demands (“Where’s the WiFi?”). *Nope*’s visual ambition gives parody room to mock scale, terror, and tech all at once. | © Universal Pictures / Monkeypaw Productions

Cropped Get Out 2017 — Get Out (2017)

*Get Out* is sharp, socially charged, and full of tension – a perfect target for parody that can exaggerate the horror of polite racism, forced smiles, and hidden motives. A spoof could twist the “sunken place” into a napping misfire, the uncanny hosts into overzealous etiquette bots, or hypnosis into a stand-up comedy act gone wrong. The original’s tension around identity and control becomes a playground for parody: when control is literal, maybe someone switches brainwave frequencies with an Alexa. It’s biting, it’s smart, and it can be hilarious when turned upside down. | © Universal Pictures

The Scary Movie franchise has never pulled its punches when it comes to spoofing horror’s biggest hits, and the upcoming sixth installment is no exception. This time around, we already know which modern fright-fests are getting the satirical treatment, and the lineup is stacked with recent box office favorites. If you thought jump scares were terrifying, wait until you see them turned into punchlines.

From supernatural chillers to psychological thrillers, Scary Movie 6 promises to lampoon the horror films audiences can’t stop talking about. It’s the same formula that made the series a cult classic: take the scariest stories of the decade, crank the absurdity up to eleven, and remind us that laughter is sometimes the best way to handle a good scare.
