Lizzo & Sexyy Red Drop “Hoes” for Scary Movie

Scary Movie 6 is leaning all the way into chaos, and the rollout already knows exactly what kind of movie it wants to be. Lizzo and Sexyy Red have released “Hoes,” the official original song tied to the upcoming film, giving the franchise a loud, irreverent introduction before the movie even hits theaters.

That matters because Scary Movie 6 is not selling restraint. It is selling familiarity, parody, and the kind of broad comedy that made the series a box office force in the first place. The new single fits that tone. It is messy on purpose, a little cartoonish, and built for a franchise that has never been interested in subtlety. Think of it as less cultural meditation, more full-volume joke with a beat.

The bigger draw, though, is the reunion. Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall are all back, reuniting the original core cast for the first time in decades. The setup picks up 26 years after their last run-in with a masked killer who, once again, looks awfully close to Ghostface.

This time, the movie is widening the target. The new film spoofs reboots, remakes, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, origin stories, elevated horror, and all those “final chapters” that somehow never stay final. The pitch is simple and pretty effective: nothing is off-limits, and every current horror habit is fair game.

The Wayans family also seems interested in pushing past horror parody and taking a few swings at cancel culture along the way. That tracks with the franchise’s history. “Scary Movie” was never prestige comedy. It was always more like a spoken word performance after midnight, if that performance were dressed in a tuxedo blazer, stacked with sight gags, and determined to offend at least somebody in the room.

Michael Tiddes directs the film, with a script credited to Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans, and Rick Alvarez. Alvarez also produces alongside the Wayans brothers. Executive producers include Jonathan Glickman, Thom Zadra, Alexandra Loewy, Marc Weinstock, Marsha L. Swinton, and Neal H. Moritz.

The supporting cast is packed with comedy names that make sense for this kind of ensemble: Kenan Thompson, Damon Wayans Jr., Kim Wayans, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Heidi Gardner, and more. It reads like a curated reading list of comic sensibilities, from old-school sketch energy to newer mainstream absurdity. A little Y2K fashion in spirit, a little current meme logic in execution.

The original “Scary Movie” opened in 2000 under Keenen Ivory Wayans and spoofed slasher staples like “Scream” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” It became the highest-grossing film in the franchise, earning $278 million worldwide on a $19 million budget. That success turned the series into a long-running pop culture brand, even if the later sequels never quite matched the first film’s hit-the-room energy.

There is also something familiar about this return beyond nostalgia. Studios keep reaching for legacy properties because audiences still respond to them, especially when the original cast comes back with enough self-awareness to make the whole thing feel less dusty. In that sense, “Scary Movie 6” is doing what pre-loved luxury does in fashion. Bring back the recognizable label, clean it up, add a new statement piece, and hope it still turns heads.

Whether the movie lands will come down to the jokes. The franchise worked best when it was fast, dumb in a precise way, and unafraid to be excessive. Not every rebooted comedy remembers that. Some get too polished. This one, at least from the setup, seems more interested in a cold brew kind of jolt than careful reinvention.

“Scary Movie 6” arrives in theaters on June 5.
