Scary Movie

A clueless band of high‑school friends must outwit a murderous, Ghostface‑masked stalker while dodging deadly clichés and relentless slapstick chaos.

No mercy. No shame. No sequel.

Synopsis

A group of teenagers who look eerily familiar find themselves pursued by a masked killer whose appearance is suspiciously reminiscent of well-known horror icons. As the body count rises and humor intensifies, the film delivers sharp satire aimed at some of the most iconic scary movies, offering an outrageously funny parody that pays homage while poking fun.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

A crew of 75+ credited

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Box Office

2000 · Box office

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 15× its budget

Why 2.5×?

Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
