Scary Movie 6 brings back a franchise tradition with a twist that fans will want to stick around for. The latest Wayans brothers comedy hides two bonus scenes during the credits that parody some of horror’s biggest recent hits.
What happens in Scary Movie 6’s post-credits scenes
Scary Movie 6 features two mid-credits scenes but no post-credits scene after the credits finish rolling.
The film, which hit theaters on June 5, 2026, follows the modern trend of including bonus content. Both scenes serve as standalone comedy gags with no connection to a potential sequel or future storyline.
The first mid-credits scene presents a fake trailer for a fictional parody movie called Brosferatu. This scene directly spoofs Robert Eggers’ 2024 horror film Nosferatu, which starred Bill Skarsgard and Lily-Rose Depp. The fake trailer maintains the same comedic tone that runs throughout the film.
The second mid-credits scene aims for another major recent horror release. It parodies a key moment from the critically acclaimed 2024 thriller Longlegs, starring Nicolas Cage. Both scenes fit naturally within the film’s broader strategy of targeting popular modern horror titles.
Neither bonus scene sets up a seventh installment nor teases any future storyline for the franchise. Instead, the Wayans brothers and director Michael Tiddes used the credits purely for extra laughs. The main film already parodies a wide range of horror properties, including Scream, Get Out, Sinners, and M3GAN.
Notably, previous Scary Movie installments never included any credits scenes at all. The sixth entry marks the franchise’s first time adopting this widespread modern cinema convention. The decision reflects how much blockbuster filmmaking has changed since Scary Movie 5 was released back in 2013.
The film currently holds a 29% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 55 critic reviews. Metacritic assigns it a weighted average score of 37 out of 100 based on 16 reviews. However, negative critical reception has rarely affected this franchise’s commercial performance at the box office.
Tracking projections estimate the film will earn between $45 and $50 million during its opening weekend from 3,400 theaters across North America.
