The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Old friends Cindy, Ray, Shorty, and Brenda get back together when the same masked killer from the first movie returns. This is a parody that makes fun of horror movie tropes.

What happens

Scary Movie (also known as Scary Movie 6) is a 2026 American parody film directed by Michael Tiddes and written by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez. It is the sixth installment in the Scary Movie film series and has been referred to as the spiritual sequel to the first two films. It stars Marlon, Shawn, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall. The plot follows Cindy Campbell and her friends Ray Wilkins and siblings Shorty and Brenda Meeks reunited when the same masked killer from the original film Scary Movie resurfaces. A sixth Scary Movie film was announced in 2024 and later that same year, it was revealed to have the involvement of the Wayans family for the first time since their departure from the franchise following the release of Scary Movie 2 (2001) due to creative conflicts with the original producers. Scary Movie premiered on June 3, 2026 at the Paramount Theatre in Los Angeles, and was theatrically released in the United States by Paramount Pictures on June 5, 2026. Like its predecessors, it received generally negative reviews from critics, but was a commercial success, grossing $228.2 million against a $30 million budget, becoming the second-highest grossing film in the series after the first installment.
