00:59Is Cindy Campbell based on Sidney Prescott?
01:03Wow.
01:04No, Sidney Campbell is really based on Sigourney Weaver and Aliens.
01:11But instead of being an alien movie, we put her in a horror movie and based it in that
01:18slasher world.
01:19Of course, she's based on Sid, goddamn Sidney Prescott.
01:25Who asked that question?

02:02I was just Marla Wayans all of a sudden.
02:04Wow, I see what's happening.
02:06Regina Hall is a ruby.
02:08She's not here.
02:10Okay?
02:11She left us and abandoned us to be in New York making great product and making more money
02:17than we're making promoting this.
02:19I know.
02:20I know.
02:20You sound a little bitter about that, bro.
02:22Why am I bitter that she over there getting two checks while I'm over here slaving for
02:26this one?
02:27Right.
02:27Keep doing you, Regina.
02:28Wow.
02:29Happy for your success.
02:30Not everybody could be in a PTA film, nominated for Oscars.
02:36You know what I mean?
02:37One time after another and after another.
02:39Hey, Marlon.
02:40Marlon.
02:40Marlon.
02:41You did that movie about all the people that were on drugs.
02:45And Allen and...
02:46Remember that?
02:47You don't even remember the name.
02:48No, but people were like, oh my god, Marlon.
02:51Yeah, but that was 30 years ago.
02:53You got it in it.
02:54You got it in it.
02:55You got it in it.
02:56It's in it.
02:57It's true.
02:57Send the can, man.
02:58You can't be angry at Regina.
02:59Send her off in love and peace.
03:01Congratulations.
03:03Your statue's coming.
03:05Are Cindy and Brenda in the new scary movie?
03:08No.
03:08We decided to cut them both out because...
03:12No.
03:13Why not?
03:14To save on money.
03:14When Marlon called me and...
03:16It's a lie.
03:17I don't even have your number.
03:17He said, February...
03:19You got it somehow.
03:20In February of 2025.
03:23And he said, listen, we're getting the gang back together.
03:26We're all doing it.
03:29No money.
03:30Right?
03:31Yeah.
03:31But we're all gonna...
03:32We're gonna have this crazy reunion.
03:34Yes.
03:35We'll get you a trailer.
03:36Yeah.
03:37You're gonna have to share it, but we'll get you a trailer.
03:39There'll be a bathroom, but it'll be shared as well.
03:42They said, do you really like to act?
03:43Do you really like to act?
03:45Come back to the franchise.
03:47Yes.
03:47And they asked me, do I enjoy feeding children?
03:51I think that's what you said.
03:52Of course.
03:52This is all about charity.
03:53Every dollar goes to the Wayans Family Foundation.
03:57Remember that back end we promised you?
03:59Yeah.
03:59Back end means you give us back more money.
04:03I didn't quite know what I was signing up for.
04:06Which scary movie has Ghostface?
04:10Scary movie one.
04:12Uh-huh.
04:12Two.
04:13I mean, sorry, scary movie.
04:14And we brought him back.
04:15Three.
04:15I mean, scary movie now.
04:18Ghostface is coming back for the first time in 26 years.
04:23And he is pissed off.
04:25Imagine, he hasn't worked in 26 years.
04:27He's fucking...
04:28But he's kind of happy because that 9 million we gave him plus points.
04:32He really...
04:33Wait, he got...
04:34Wait, what?
04:35Huh?
04:36Are all the scary movies connected?
04:38Yes.
04:38Well, we planned this franchise out.
04:40We planned it that they would all connect in some kind of way.
04:44And it's for you to figure out the connections.
04:46We leave that to the audience.
04:47We don't overthink it.
04:48We know what we're doing.
04:50We knew that when we did scary movie one and it was about Ghostface
04:53that 2 was going to be about haunted houses and that kind of spiritual realm
04:59because they were dead.
05:00And then part 3, they wanted the ring and the aliens
05:06and those things connecting with the matrix all happened organically.
05:10It's the grand plan.
05:12Yeah.
05:12All along.
05:13All to bring us back to Ghostface.
05:17Ghostface, yep.
05:18We sure red and green-pilled it.
05:20Yeah, we sure did.
05:21And black.
05:22Which scary movie was Marlon the brilliant actor of Thespian.
05:27He was in the scary movie, Marlon Wayans.
05:30One, two, three, and now.
05:33You are wrong and that's what's crazy.
05:36I'm sorry.
05:37One, two, and...
05:38You came out the same penis as me.
05:40One, two, and now.
05:40You have to know things about me that nobody else does.
05:43I said one, two, and now.
05:46Which ones was I in?
05:48One, two, and now.
05:50Oh.
05:52How?
05:52Why is Scary Movie called Scary Movie?
05:55Ooh, can we tell a little bit about the backstory with this?
05:57I'll tell you why.
05:58From what I know?
05:59All right, let me see if you're right.
06:00Okay, so I was cast in 1999 in my very first audition in LA
06:05in a movie called Scream If You Know What I Did Last Halloween.
06:09Yes.
06:09Yes.
06:10Because it was a combination of Scream and I Know What You Did last summer and Halloween.
06:16And also, that's what we kind of did when we did Don't Be a Minus.
06:23Don't Be a Minus.
06:39Scary.
06:39Scary.
06:40Did you guys not want to do it?
06:43No, we actually liked it.
06:44You don't mind doing it?
06:45We thought it was a cool title.
06:46I think anytime an executive names your movie in the room, that means they see it as marketing,
06:52and you got to go with it.
06:54What were you called White Chicks?
06:55We didn't know exactly.
06:57Something Like It Not or something like that.
06:59Something Like It Not.
07:00And he was like, White Chicks.
07:02Why was Scary Movie created?
07:05Because three black men needed to work.
07:09Hollywood wasn't writing us nothing.
07:11We ain't Will Smith.
07:12We had something to say at that time.
07:14Those movies from Scream 1 and 2 and I Know What You Did Last Summer was funny to us.
07:22And we found funny characters and funny tropes of the genre to make fun of.
07:27And that's why we-
07:29I really appreciate your long, well thought out answer when the truth is we needed the check.
07:37You guys got a check?
07:39No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:41What is a scary movie a parody of?
07:45Scream.
07:45Life.
07:46Society.
07:47Scream 2.
07:47Culture.
07:48Civilization.
07:48I Know What You Did Last Summer.
07:50Usual Suspects, Matrix and a bunch of other movies in between.
07:53It's a gumbo.
07:54Yeah.
07:54If you will.
07:55What is the highest grossing scary movie?
07:59I would think it was scary movie one.
08:01I think it was probably scary movie one or three.
08:05What is the budget of scary movie?
08:08Not enough.
08:09The first one cost us-
08:1020.
08:1119 million.
08:1119 million.
08:12The second one was-
08:1335.
08:1435 million dollars.
08:16This one was-
08:16The sixth scary movie.
08:17Same.
08:18The budget is 35 million dollars.
08:21That is only possible because Ana-
08:23Was so generous.
08:25Made no money.
08:26At all.
08:27And she said, New Wayneses, you deserve the money.
08:30You guys, I've been eating for the past three movies.
08:34I give it all to you.
08:36Yeah.
08:36She's given back.
08:37I want to help-
08:37Black children.
08:39And I said, I have the perfect foundation for that.
08:42It's time.
08:42It's time for me.
08:43Yes.
08:44It's time for me.
08:44Because you couldn't adopt one.
08:46You couldn't adopt a black child.
08:48And she's our donor.
08:49I don't know how to take care of a kid.
08:51Yeah.
08:52Are Cindy and Brenda in every scary movie?
08:56If we were producing those movies, Cindy and Brenda would be in every scary movie.
09:03But they were in one, two, three.
09:06Four.
09:06Four.
09:07They weren't in five.
09:08They wasn't in five.
09:09Then that was their mistake.
09:11Will scary movie have a popcorn bucket?
09:13Yes.
09:13No.
09:14Yes.
09:15I am thrilled to say yes, yes, yes.
09:17Yes, yes.
09:17We'll have a popcorn bucket.
09:18A very special one to be named.

09:36Whoa.
09:37Blacker than the rest of my body.
09:39Whoa.
09:40You're goddamn right it's gonna be rated R.
09:42That's just crazy.
09:43Why is the scary movie What's Up scene so famous?
09:46Because a lot of people get high and say,
09:49What's that?
09:50It says so much.
09:52Will scary movie be in IMAX?
09:54Absolutely.
09:56Because not.
09:57Because.
09:57It's not, right?
09:58No, it's not.
09:59I want to do the next one in IMAX and maybe 4D.
10:03And when we do like, we do like a fart joke.
10:06Let's like put like fart smell in.
10:08Oh yeah, the whole sensory experience.
10:13I don't think people want that.
10:17People don't want that.
10:18Humans like spraying out into the audience.
10:20I'm gonna do it.
10:21Scary movie 7, we're doing it.
10:23Okay, wait.
10:24Why does everyone remember the hand scene in scary movie 2?
10:27Um.

10:29Cause it was crazy.
10:30Chris Elliott is crazy.
10:32Crazy.
10:32A genius.
10:33And there's nothing funnier than watching him finger pop a turkey with that little hand.
10:38What's the thing that people come up to you the most and like quote to you back from the movies?
10:42People come up to us and quote, what up?
10:46And sometimes they quote stuff we never said.
10:49That's the craziest thing.
10:50Like everybody thinks I said, I see white people.
10:54I didn't.
10:55I said, I see dead people.
10:59I get a lot of y'all mean.
11:01Yo, that jacket is tight.
11:03Yeah.
11:04And I like to think it's cause Shorty and Cindy have a special.
