After more than a decade away, the Scary Movie series is officially returning to theaters with its signature over-the-top humor, meta jokes, and fearless spoofing of the horror genre. The sixth installment, simply titled Scary Movie, is set to hit the big screen on June 12, 2026, distributed by Paramount Pictures.
The official trailer, released by Paramount Pictures on March 2, 2026, wastes no time declaring “We’re baaaaaack.” It reunites the beloved “Core Four” and promises to roast everything from reboots, requels, and legacy sequels to elevated horror, TikTok trends, cancel culture, and every modern horror trope in between. The tagline says it all: “No horror movie IP is safe. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives.”
