Scary Movie (2026)

A teenager, Tuesday, is attacked at home by Ghostface while watching a horror movie. Her older half-sister Sara and her boyfriend Jack realize the attack echoes crimes from years ago and seek out Cindy Campbell, now a paranoid recluse. Brenda, Shorty and Ray are back in the picture, and the group figures out the killer wants to bring back old characters and introduce new ones. The film returns to the spirit of the first two, with plenty of nods to recent horror. It premiered in June 2026.
