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.

Here’s a blog-style post exploring the concept of — the golden era of horror-comedy parody films, with Scary Movie as its king.

For anyone coming of age in the early 2000s, that movie was likely Scary Movie .

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.
