Did this ruin the films they parodied?


Good movie, but I feel that this will make people laugh at the films they made fun of; Especially Scream, Halloween, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Those three still hold a candle years later, but Scary Movie almost turned them into jokes to those who viewed them after viewing this. Same goes for The Exorcist, The Others, Saw, Final Destination, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hollow Man, The Ring, House on Haunted Hill, 8 Mile, and Clueless.

Nothing will ever ruin the Exorcist...still one of the scariest movies of all time.

Scream was already a parody of horror films in general, but these films could easily apply to the sequels.

Which scene parodied Halloween?

reply

The scene where Cindy is in class and sees the killer watching her from across the street. It parodied the scene from Halloween when Laurie was in class and saw Michael Myers watching her from across the street

Oh yeah

It ruined The Usual Suspects for me.
It also made Scream a hell of a lot less scary as well.

It only ruins it if you watch scary movie before scream

Final Destination?

When was this ever parodied?

reply

When Cindy was hit by the car in the very last scene of the movie; it parodied the bus-crash death from the original Final Destination.

Only in the way casual viewers confuse this and Scream as the same movie. I'm pretty much able to watch all of the films parodied without even thinking of this.

No. I've seen the movies it parodied since and I still love them for the most part.
