You Won’t Believe What’s Streaming For FREE This Month!

by

The hilarious Scary Movie trilogy penned by Shawn Wayans and Marlon Wayans is now accessible for free streaming on Tubi, and rest assured, this isn’t an April Fool’s prank! In their monthly announcement titled “What’s Coming to Tubi,” they unveiled the much-anticipated additions for April. Among them are Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2, and Scary Movie 3, which you can now enjoy in a binge-watching spree. Interestingly, it was reported that another sequel, Scary Movie 6, is scheduled to release in 2026. Marlon Wayans shared with People Magazine that the new installment will maintain the same witty tone as the original, which garnered mixed reviews upon its release in 2000 but has since become a beloved classic among fans.

As a devoted film enthusiast, I’ve eagerly anticipated the next installment of the Scary Movie series, and it looks like we’re about to get a raw, R-rated experience, straight from the horse’s mouth – Keenan Ivory Wayans himself. This decision is hardly unexpected for fans who’ve witnessed Scary Movie establish itself as the benchmark for parody horror films.

Back in the day, under the guidance of Keenan, this film masterfully lampooned horror classics such as Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, transforming spine-tingling moments from those movies into uproarious scenes that still leave us laughing today.

On social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Regina Hall’s character (Brenda Meeks) remains a popular choice for reaction gifs. The movie also features an all-star cast, including Anna Faris, Jon Abrahams, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Shannon Elizabeth, Lochlyn Munro, Dave Sheridan, and Cheri Oteri. Get ready to roll with laughter as we gear up for the unveiling of this new chapter!

In the 2000 film “Scary Movie,” the storyline revolves around Halloween. The character Drew Decker, portrayed by Carmen Electra, receives a menacing phone call at home, leading to a chase on the streets where she’s pursued by Ghostface, a character from “Scream.” In an unexpected twist, her father accidentally hits her with his car during the chase, before Ghostface completes the act. This plot bears a striking resemblance to Carmen Electra’s character in “Scream,” Casey Becker, except for the scene involving her father’s car accident. The movie largely satirizes “Scream,” with the character Cindy Campbell, played by Anna Faris, serving as an unsophisticated counterpart to Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell), while Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt, from “I Know What You Did Last Summer”) is also referenced.

‘Scary Movie’ Was A Big Box Office Hit Despite Mixed Reviews

Critics can significantly impact a movie’s success or failure, particularly when they have a large fan base. For instance, when “Scary Movie” hit theaters on July 7, 2000, it wasn’t met with positive reviews from critics, who found the humor distasteful. However, this didn’t stop audiences from flocking to the theaters to watch the Wayans brothers, who had established themselves as a leading comedy family. The film, with an initial budget of $19 million, ended up grossing a staggering $278 million at the box office. It even set a record by debuting at No. 1 during its opening weekend for any R-rated film. Later in December of that year, Buena Vista Home Entertainment released it on DVD and VHS. Given that Marlon Wayans has confirmed “Scary Movie 6” will be similar to the original, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if it repeats its success.
