Twenty-six years after the original changed horror comedies forever, Scary Movie 6 is back in theaters and the new featurette proves this franchise is still a full-blown Wayans family affair.
The film, which arrived in theaters on June 5, reunites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall as the iconic Core Four return to parody today’s horror movie landscape filled with reboots, sequels, requels, spin-offs, elevated horror, and “final chapters” that never seem to end.
But one of the biggest reasons fans are excited about this new installment is the deep family connection behind the scenes.

The new Scary Movie 6 was written by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez, making the film a true family collaboration.
The cast and creative team also include several members of the extended Wayans family tree including Gregg Wayans, Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Craig Wayans, Shawn Howell Wayans, and Ilia Wayans.
