When the first Scary Movie debuted in theaters, the slasher genre was at an all time high. Movies like Scream and New Nightmare were captivating audiences everywhere. But with Scary Movie's perfect parody being such a success it wouldn't be long for the parody genre to play itself out with a tidal wave of terrible movies. How exactly did Scary Movie's success lead to the downfall of an entire genre?

It's true. The success of Scary Movie led to a flood of very bad parody movies, and unfortunately, the few good ones were forgotten by the wayside. I think another reason has to do with the cancel culture.

I am not agree with him about Scary Movie 3, it's was the best movie in the franchise.
