Scary Movie 2 is a classic horror-comedy that parodies various popular films. The movie was released in 2001 and directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. The film mocks several popular movies, including The Exorcist, Hannibal, and What Lies Beneath, among others.
The Exorcist
One of the most iconic scenes in Scary Movie 2 is the parody of The Exorcist. In the original movie, a young girl named Regan MacNeil is possessed by a demon, and her mother seeks the help of two priests to exorcise the demon. In Scary Movie 2, the character played by James Woods performs an exorcism on a possessed girl named Megan Voorhees.
Megan’s Possession
Megan’s possession is quite comical as she vomits green slime all over James Woods’ character. This scene mocks one of the most iconic scenes from The Exorcist where Regan projectile vomits pea soup all over one of the priests.
Regan’s Head Spin Parody
Another famous scene from The Exorcist that Scary Movie 2 parodies is when Regan’s head spins around in a complete circle. In Scary Movie 2, Megan’s head spins around not just once but four times before she starts rapping.
Hannibal
The Silence of the Lambs sequel Hannibal also gets its fair share of mockery in Scary Movie 2. Hannibal revolves around an FBI agent who seeks out Hannibal Lecter for help in catching another serial killer. In Scary Movie 2, Professor Oldman (played by Tim Curry) tries to catch a killer who has been murdering people on campus.
Professor Oldman’s Quest for Help
Professor Oldman seeks out the help of a cannibal named Dwight Hartman (played by David Cross) to catch the killer. This is a parody of Hannibal, where FBI agent Clarice Starling seeks out the help of Hannibal Lecter to catch Buffalo Bill.
What Lies Beneath
What Lies Beneath is a supernatural horror movie that stars Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer. The movie revolves around a couple who discovers that their house is haunted by the ghost of a woman who was murdered by her husband. Scary Movie 2 mocks this movie in its own unique way.
Cindy’s Haunted House
In Scary Movie 2, Cindy Campbell (played by Anna Faris) stays in a haunted house with her friends. The house is haunted by the ghost of Hugh Kane, who was murdered by his wife. This is a direct parody of What Lies Beneath.
Hugh Kane’s Ghostly Appearance
Hugh Kane’s ghostly appearance in Scary Movie 2 is quite comical as he appears to have been burned alive. He also has no eyelids, which makes him look quite creepy.
- Conclusion: In conclusion, Scary Movie 2 parodies several popular horror movies such as The Exorcist, Hannibal and What Lies Beneath among others. The film adds its own unique twist to each parody and makes them comical for viewers.
Overall, the use of parody and satire in Scary Movie 2 make it an engaging horror-comedy for viewers who want to see familiar movies being mocked in a hilarious way.
