Just in time for Scream 7‘s opening weekend, Scary Movie is back—and it doesn’t matter if you’re Scream, Weapons, Halloween, or Sinners—and every horror movie in between—everyone’s ready to get joked on. Paramount has released the first full trailer for Scary Movie 6, featuring a veritable who’s who of faces from across the franchise’s history as the brand takes on the horror trend de rigueur of legacy sequels, while also lampooning as many movies as it can in about two minutes. Scary Movie 6 sees the franchise’s “core 4″—Shorty (Marlon Wayans), Ray (Shawn Wayans), Cindy (Anna Faris), and Brenda (Regina Hall)—return decades on from escaping the sinister and suspiciously familiar masked murderer, only to find a new serial killer under the mask is causing havoc in their quest to end them, and every horror franchise around, in the process. The trailer is heavy on the parody, of course, touching on all the modern-era legacy sequels, while also riffing on recent hits like Terrifier, M3GAN, The Substance, and Sinners (with a little Wednesday gag, to boot). But if you weren’t already sure this was a truly modern Scary Movie, we’ve got pronoun and safe space gags too. Scary Movie 6 is set to hit theaters June 12 Want more io9 news?
