Director: Michael Tiddes
Cast: Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Damon Wayans Jr.
Scary Movie is a 2026 American comedy-horror parody film directed by Michael Tiddes, reuniting the original ensemble cast for a fresh round of genre-skewering laughs. Set twenty-six years after the events of the first film, the beloved Core Four find themselves once again in the crosshairs of a suspiciously familiar masked killer.
What is Scary Movie about?
Decades have passed since the Core Four survived their brush with a knife-wielding masked maniac, and life has settled into comfortable — if chaotic — routines. When a new string of murders begins echoing the events of that terrible night, old friendships are reignited and old traumas resurface. The group must piece together whether history is repeating itself or whether someone new has taken up the mask. No horror franchise is safe from ridicule as the film tears through contemporary genre tropes with the Wayans family's signature brand of absurdist, physically-committed comedy. The stakes feel oddly genuine even as the jokes land fast.
Cast & crew
Director Michael Tiddes returns to the franchise he helmed in earlier installments, bringing his sharp comic timing to the material. Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans anchor the film with their long-established chemistry, while Anna Faris and Regina Hall complete the core group. Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, and Kim Wayans round out a family affair that gives the ensemble an improvisational energy.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking audiences in the diaspora, Scary Movie has always held a special place as one of the most recognizable Hollywood comedy-horror properties — the kind of broad, high-energy American satire that crossed cultural lines effortlessly on DVD and satellite back in the day.

This 2026 installment arrives without Persian dubbing or subtitles, so viewers will enjoy it in its original English audio — a comfortable watch for the bilingual diaspora audience that grew up laughing at the original films.
