But every Halloween, when someone puts on Scary Movie and the opening scene — Drew Decker getting chased by a killer in a Ghostface mask, only to be run over by a car — plays out, we remember.
What’s your favorite Scary Movie moment? Brenda fighting the ghost? The “strong hand” scene? The shotgun to the ear? Drop it in the comments — if you dare.
Why? Because horror has changed. Elevated horror ( Hereditary , The Witch ) is harder to parody without feeling mean. And studios chase IP-safe, PG-13 humor.
