It’s been 26 years since the first Scary Movie film was released. The last sequel was made 13 years ago, but the franchise is back. We haven’t seen it, but we love celebrating the horror industry, so this was a great opportunity to do that with food!
In Scary Movie (2026), “twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer, the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe.”
The Scary Movie franchise is known for parodying popular horror films. With that in mind, we thought it would be fun to share some of our recipes and munchie ideas that were inspired by the films we noticed in the trailer!
