In the tradition of such genre parodies as AIRPLANE!, THE NAKED GUN, and SPACEBALLS, Keenen Ivory Wayans takes on the teen horror flick with SCARY MOVIE, a campy, riotous send-up of everything from the SCREAM and HALLOWEEN franchises to I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER, CARRIE, and THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. In a small town, a copycat is reenacting the SCREAM murders, and local reporter Gail Hailstorm will do just about anything to get the story. The six high school students who ran over a man on a sharp curve the year before think the killer is out for revenge, but sweet and innocent Cindy Campbell believes that the madman might just lurk a lot closer to home.
Cowritten by Shawn and Marlon Wayans (and four others), the script leaves no cliché unturned; in addition to the horror parodies, the film also spoofs such teen sex comedies as AMERICAN PIE and such hit films as THE SIXTH SENSE, THE MATRIX, and FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH. The film never lets up in its striking re-creations of classic scenes, and it never passes up the chance for a joke, no matter how crude. The young, attractive cast looks like it just jumped out of DAWSON'S CREEK, playing everything up to the hilt--and beyond.

Notes
Theatrical release: July 7, 2000.
The $19 million film grossed $42.5 million in its first weekend, the highest opening ever for an R-rated film as of July 2000.
Former IN LIVING COLOR star Kelly Coffield makes a cameo appearance in the film. James Van Der Beek makes a cameo appearance in a scene spoofing DAWSON'S CREEK.
There is one last lewd joke at the very end for those patient enough to sit through the credits.
SCARY MOVIE marks star Anna Faris's feature-film debut.
Keenen Ivory Wayans makes a cameo appearance in the movie-theater scene in the trailer preceding SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE.
Keenen's favorite scary movie is THE EXORCIST.
Despite the movie poster proclaiming that there would be no sequel, a follow-up is reportedly in the works.

This auction is for a vhs tape in its original cover.
This tape is in good pre-owned condition and plays fine. The cover is intact and showing wear around the edges from age and storage on a book shelf.
I generally ship within 24 hours of receiving cleared payment, unless the auction ends or payment is received on Saturday. If that's the case, I will ship the following Monday. This is due to the time my mail carrier runs on Saturday....EARLY!! (If this is a problem, please do not bid and thank you for your understanding). I accept paypal only and do not ship outside of the U.S. Insurance is optional, of course, but I can't be responsible for your item/items once they enter the postal system. Delivery confirmation is included in your postage costs.
I would be honored to be added to your favorite sellers list. More items are added all the time. Our home is just chock-full of kids, but no smokers or inside pets. Thanks for looking, good luck, and happy bidding!!
(A note on combined shipping: I LOVE TO COMBINE SHIPPING!! It's a pet peeve of mine that you pay shipping for each item when they could be shipped together. I'm not trying to make a mint on shipping, just cover postage costs & supplies. If you are bidding on more than one of my items, please wait until you're through shopping & let me know. I don't mind to wait until another auction ends and I'll happily send an invoice with a combined shipping discount. YOU MUST PAY ON ONE INVOICE TO RECEIVE THE DISCOUNT!! .
(The discount for dvd/vhs items is full price for the 1st item, and just .50 for each additional dvd or vhs tape that your purchase. Same discount applies for CD's).
(Should you be bidding on my paperback romances, the discount is figured differently: full price for the first item, .50 for each additional, win 10 or more and pay from the same invoice and the price is the weight of the package + a small handling fee.)
(Very heavy books will be figured by the weight of the package plus a handling fee to cover postage supplies).
If you're only purchasing one item and are not waiting for a combined shipping invoice, please check out within 48 hours. Thanks again!!
