The movie is a parody of Scary Movie and popular food chains. The movie parodies Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Cloverfield, and Transformers alongside the meta parodies carried over from Scary Movie such as Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Halloween, The Shining, Friday the 13th, The Usual Suspects, The Sixth Sense, The Blair Witch Project, The Matrix, Charlie's Angels (2000 film), and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The movie was released by Frantik Thrillur on July ?, 2023 and was announced to be the first of a full parody franchise of the Scary Movie Series.

Production

The film idea was drafted out in late Spring 2022 by Michael Flowers, with co-workers, Jaziah Myers, Trinity Moats, Dazai Taylor, Nathan Stewart, and others, with plans to begin production in the future. After sudden shifts in schedules and other projects, some of the original members of the draft team left the project but the film was able to move deeper into script development in August 2022 with Myers and Flowers as lead writers. Throughout the Fall the film went through set backs in script development before picking back up in December with KidKai replacing Myers in the writing duo. By January 2023, the film was in production just after some of Flowers' other projects (Unholy Night, Maverick's Manic Misadventures, and The Next Best Kill) and was set to release on schedule later that year in July.

Parodies

The film mostly parodies the exact events of Scary Movie with a twist of popular fast food and restaurant brand spoofs such as the group of protagonists being fast food workers at a restaurant spoofing Wendy's (the name of the restaurant remains a mystery as the branding never appears and the workers always say a different name each time) and the killer being a spoof of Long John Silver as a parody of I Know What You Did Last Summer's Fisherman Killer.

The majority of the parodies in the film are based on Scary Movie with some exceptions being that the film ties in a parody of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness and Final Destination in which Michael Flowers' character has dreams and visions of deadly scenarios he tries to prevent as he is also attempting to protect a character from the killer like Doctor Strange protects America Chavez from the Scarlet Witch, as well as a story arc spoofing Mr. & Mrs. Smith, with Flowers and Moats appearing in "therapy" sessions as 4th wall breaks around 3 times in the film (just like in Mr. & Mrs. Smith) as well as the fight scene at the end where Mr. & Mrs. Smith fight off an endless army of spies being referenced and parodied in a shorter scene where Flowers and Moats' characters fight off an endless army of clones. The film also makes an extra reference to Halloween than Scary Movie by having Michael and Jaziah's characters break the 4th wall and mention Flowers' real-life nickname being "Michael Myers" and his first name and her last name making them both equally Michael Myers. Another parody in the film mixes Cloverfield and Transformers by having a food monster reign terror, and the film takes a found footage approach to cinematography in these scenes. Some of the scenes crossover with scenes of Dazai's character mirroring Shia Lebeouf's character from Transformers by getting a transforming alien car.
