Scary Movie is a series of American parody films, mainly focusing on spoofing horror films. The franchise has a combined gross of almost $900 million at the worldwide box office and has received mixed reviews from critics. A sixth film is in development.

Scary Movie is the first film of the franchise and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. It is the highest-grossing film of the franchise, with $278,019,771 worldwide.

The film's plot mainly spoofs Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), and it follows a group of clueless teenagers who are stalked by an incompetent serial killer one year after disposing of the body of a man they accidentally hit with their car.

Scary Movie 2 is the second film of the franchise and was also directed by Wayans. It grossed $141,220,678 worldwide and is the second lowest-grossing film of the franchise. This is the last film to receive an R-rating and also marked the end of the Wayans siblings' involvement with the franchise, until the development of the sixth film.

The film is a parody of The Haunting (1999), with the plot following a perverted college professor who plans to study ghosts inside a haunted mansion and uses the teens as bait.

Scary Movie 3 is the third film of the franchise and was directed by David Zucker. With $220,673,217 earned worldwide, it is the second highest-grossing film in the franchise. This was the first Scary Movie film to receive a PG-13 rating, as well as the first film to have no involvement from the Wayans family.

Michael Jackson planned to sue the filmmakers for Edward Moss parodying him in such a way that made him seem like a child molester and having a fake nose.^{[citation needed]}

The plot of the film is a spoof of Signs and The Ring (both 2002). It revolves around strange crop circles found near an old farm and the circulation of an unusual videotape and Cindy helping the President to prevent an extreterrestrial invasion.
