The Scary Movie franchise has spent over 25 years gleefully lampooning horror classics, from the original Wayans Brothers masterpiece to the long-awaited 2026 reboot. Which entry in this proudly ridiculous franchise do you think is the funniest and best?

Scary Movie (2000)

The original Wayans Brothers parody that launched the franchise — a sharp, raunchy send-up of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer that grossed $278 million worldwide.

1000pts

Scary Movie 3 (2003)

Directed by David Zucker, this third installment parodies The Ring and Signs, widely considered the best of the sequels for its tighter comedy craft.

Scary Movie 5 (2013)

The most widely panned installment in the franchise — the only entry without Anna Faris — which targeted Mama and Black Swan to near-universal disappointment.

Scary Movie 2 (2001)

The first sequel shifts the parody target to haunted-house films, trading the original's slasher edge for broader, weirder comedy with returning fan favorites.

Scary Movie 4 (2006)

The fourth entry takes aim at Saw, War of the Worlds, and The Grudge in another Zucker-directed installment that divided fans of the franchise.

Scary Movie (2026)

The Wayans Brothers' long-awaited reboot reunites original cast members for a new generation of horror parody, topping the box office in its opening weekend.
