‘Scary Movie 6’ Official Trailer Released

The full trailer for Scary Movie 6 has finally arrived online, and in the best way possible, it was revealed to the world alongside Scream 7.

When the new film arrives this summer, it will mark the first movie in the “Scary Movie” parody series in thirteen years, but even greater than that, the first one to be created by Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans since Scary Movie 2 over 25 years ago. As a result, the next film in the series is a long time coming, not only for a franchise that was quite consistent, but in getting a series back to its roots as well. With more than a decade between the last movie in the series and the next, that leaves a generation’s worth of horror movies for the new film to put in its sights and mercilessly mock. Now that the trailer has arrived for Scary Movie 6, we know which films released since then that they’ll actually roast. Though the new film is heavy on movies from the last three years, it showcases that the creators have been paying attention to horror, even if some of the films have more parody potential than others.

The trouble with both M3GAN and any parody of the character is that the crux of all jokes about the film boils down to the viral nature of one sequence from the trailer, not even the movie itself, but the trailer. Ahead of the release of the film, M3GAN doing her dance in the hallway before killing someone quickly became a meme and even sold the idea of a tone for the film that the movie itself simply did not match. Even though the original film is only four years old, the gag is already played out, as the world roundly rejected M3GAN 2.0. As a result, any parody of it being released in 2026 that is simply a repetition of what was done in the movie itself, with no additional gags or eccentricities, adds nothing and barely even makes a joke at all.
