Scary Movie 2 (2001) KILL COUNT

[00:00:04]Welcome to the kill count, where we tally up the victims in all our favorite horror movies and show you how they were made. I'm James Ajis, and today we're looking at Scary Movie 2, released in 2001. The first Scary Movies tagline was no mercy, no shame, no sequel. Scary Movie Twos was, we lied. Mirramax signed a deal for a second movie before the first even finished its opening weekend.

[00:00:22]The Wayne's brothers returned to their previous roles with Marlin and Shawn writing the script in just six months under the watchful eye of their director and older brother Kenan Ivory.

[00:00:32]>> Kenan stops to beat us often, just me and Shawn.

[00:00:34]>> Unlike the first film, which they worked on for years, Scary Movie 2 was turned around in just under a year for a Fourth of July release date. While the first Scary Movie parody late9s slashers, Scary Movie 2 takes a more supernatural approach. The overall plot is inspired by The Haunting, a 1999 adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House. Other references in source material [music] include Poltergeist, What Lies Beneath, The House on Haunted Hill, all sorts of supernatural fair that share common elements.

[00:01:00]>> You're looking for is sort of the concept. So that it doesn't matter what movie [music] you've seen, you there are things in here that you'll get.

[00:01:06]>> And just like with the first film, it's further packed with parodies of all kinds from nonh horror movies to commercials to corporate scandals. I think I like part two just as much as the first film. It's definitely got just as many lines my friends and I endlessly repeated to each other. Beep boop beep boop on the nose. Somehow Anna Ferris and Regina Hall are even funnier and the movie as a whole feels more character-driven. On the flip side, there is a lot more gross out humor that I don't love. Let's just say I could use more Tim Curry and less Chris Elliot.

[00:01:34]And I like Chris Elliot. I mean, the poor guy had to live under Letterman's stairs. In any case, I think together the first two scary movies perfectly capture a specific time, a carefree pre 911 Y2K era, and highlight all of its strengths and shortcomings. for that.

[00:01:48][music] I will always love them. And we actually don't have a sponsor for this video, so uh really hoping we can avoid an age restriction. But I will take this opportunity to let you know that we finally have some merch back up. Check it out at deadmeatstore.com. And there will be more coming soon. The sequel promised more laughs, more screams, and less clothes. But how about the kills?

[00:02:07]Let's find out and get to them.

[00:02:11]The movie begins with a hell house party. No LLC required. The sing along song selection isn't quite as waspy as you might expect.

[00:02:18]>> Watch yourself. Shake your legs. Show me what you're working with.

[00:02:22]>> Father Harris be singing the Farel part, too. And not the radio edit either. This teenager is worried about future Andy Richtor getting cancelled, so she interrupts them.

[00:02:30]>> You suck.

[00:02:31]>> Yeah, Megan Borhees here is pissed and possessed. Been holding that possession in for a while. Looks like another priest, Father Mcily, joins the movie to the sound of tubular bells, the theme from The Exorcist. Judging by his name, he's probably been transferred around churches a few times.

[00:02:45]>> The child won't even let me touch her.

[00:02:48]>> Yes, sometimes you have to give them candy.

[00:02:50]>> Know what I mean? Can't ignore that Megan's mother is played by Veronica Cartwright, multigenerational horror actress, thanks to the birds, alien, and of course, her best known role in Candyman 2. Before he gets exercising, Mcily's pre-workout involves an Amidville horror reference. [music] The scene where a bunch of flies make a priest cough. I don't know. I always thought it was dumb. Mcily's coffin turns out to be built up poopy, giving us our number two toilet humor joke within the first four minutes. Oh, those enchiladas. Oh shit. Did you come here straight from Demon's Place? Harris shows Mcily to Megan's room to get a look at her poker face. Fuck this. A green puke explosion leads into a problem child too gag. Podcast listeners feel me. And another bit where Mcily tries to make feel on the possessed little girl. You just can't resist that tongue of hers, which was the actual tongue used in the original Exorcist.

[00:03:35]Makeup effects head Barry Cooper borrowed it from Dick Smith, the legendary Oscar-winning makeup artist.

[00:03:40]>> Dick flew the tongue out to us [music] and production had to have it insured as a historical prop.

[00:03:47]>> Sporting that historical prop is a 22-year-old Natasha Leone, who's hilarious in this opener.

[00:03:52]>> See you later, Mrs. Harris.

[00:03:54]>> Her character, Megan Vorhees, obviously takes her surname from the Jman with a first name that sounds like Reagan, but in retrospect is a double reference. The opening scene's pretty fun, but it ends abruptly when Father Mcily blasts the demon out of her with a gun, turning her into a title card, but she was a cheerleader. The sequence was the first thing they filmed for the movie and was originally supposed to star Maron Brando. Yeah, the Godfather. But the near 80-year-old had pneumonia and needed an oxygen mask on set. He dropped out after a single day of filming, so he, you know, wouldn't die.

[00:04:24]>> We didn't want to be responsible for killing killing the Godfather, so we got James Woods instead. That switch was a bummer for Leone, who mostly took the role so she could work with Brando. She enjoyed the one day of shooting with him, even if he was old and out of it, and it got a little awkward.

[00:04:38]>> He would keep his hand right on my tit, I think, cuz I was in the prosthetics.

[00:04:41]>> Maran Brando, who doesn't have long to live, has his hand on your breast >> for like for like hours, you know what I mean, at a time. And I'm [laughter] like I'm like, that's fucking Brando.

[00:04:51]>> But somehow she preferred that to James Woods.

[00:04:54]>> And uh he was less of a charmer.

[00:04:58]>> [laughter] >> less of a charmer than the man on oxygen >> whose hand is on your breast for [laughter] 6 days. It's been a year since Scary Movie 1 and our hero high schoolers have graduated to college and are also alive again even though they all died in the last movie. I guess Marlin was stressing about how to make that make sense until Kenan told him it really didn't matter. Shorty still doing his thing [screaming] and teaching Cindy how to sit and lean cool in a parody of Save the Last Dance.

[00:05:26]also teaches her how to play Parappa the rapper. Right, left, right, kick. Ray's back too and still doing his whole thing with a tucked in tight reference to Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs and a tramp stamped confession with his bro.

[00:05:38]>> RAY [laughter] FUCKED ME. RAY [screaming] FUCKED ME.

[00:05:41]>> THIS IS of course a reference to Dude, where's my car? Dude, what does mine say?

[00:05:46]>> Sweet. [laughter] WHAT ABOUT MINE?

[00:05:48]>> DUDE, WHAT DOES MINE SAY?

[00:05:49]>> SWEET.

[00:05:50]>> I swear that trailer permanently seared several jokes into every millennial's mind. No. And then that Brenda's back too, thank God. But Shannon Elizabeth's Buffy gets replaced by Tori Spelling as the Alex Monday. Had to look her name up just now. I don't think I've ever heard that name in my life before. Of course, Spelling didn't need to be in the first scary movie. She's already in a Scream parody. Stab as the actress playing Sydney. The girls are Gabin when the superstitious Brenda warns them not to split a pole. It's bad luck as proven by the couple walking behind them who get hit by a bus and killed much like Terry in Final Destination. One of Ray's new buddies, whose name is also Buddy, tries to ask Cindy out, but she just got out of a whole thing where her ex tried to murder her, so she'd rather stay friends. Buddy immediately dances in the friend zone and starts chugging a protein shake.

[00:06:35][screaming] >> Smell you later.

[00:06:37]>> Buddy's played by Christopher Mastersonson, who was a couple years into his biggest role as Francis on Malcolm in the Middle. Across campus, Professor Oldman is researching Hell House with his assistant Dwight. If he wants to bring out the ghosts, he's going to need traumatized students, like ones who lived and/or died through a massacre a year ago. Dwight's gotten Cindy and her friends to participate under the guise of a sleep study, a plot point lifted from the haunting. They'll stay in the haunted house and be none the Pennyweiser, though Dirty Oldman has other motives, too.

[00:07:03]>> Traumatized cos are sure thing.

[00:07:06]>> This is one lascivious character with great casting. You can't get more lascivious than Tim Curry. Lascivious.

[00:07:11]It's a really good vocab word for you to learn and remember. You're welcome.

[00:07:14]Cindy heads to hell house singing so badly that vitamin C has to say the C is for cease and desist.

[00:07:21][screaming] >> Hey, will you shut the fuck up and let me sing?

[00:07:25]>> This one's a stretch, but this might be a reference to Urban Legend. I don't know. The chick in the beginning of that movie was singing pretty poorly, too.

[00:07:32]Cindy gets to hell house and finds a cocky knocker on the door. She testies it out.

[00:07:38][screaming] >> Hey, not so rough. She lets herself in and meets a pervy parrot. Hi, little guy.

[00:07:44]>> Little? I'm not little. I'm hung like a bull. Lady, check it out. You ever seen a bird deck this big?

[00:07:49]>> Polly wants to crack her. Also, okay, I'm I'm starting to get lost in the weeds here, but is this a reference to Polly, the 1998 movie with a parrot voiced by Jay Moore that somehow MADE $27 MILLION. I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. CINDY ALSO MEETS THE LOCAL riff raff, Hell House's creepy caretaker named Hansen.

[00:08:05]He offers to give her a hand, a tiny hand.

[00:08:07]>> I better use my strong hand. He goes all TSA on her things, then gives her the house tour, taking her to the first, second, third floor. He promises none of it is a metaphor.

[00:08:17]It's just more fart jokes. Oh, and a reference to the Monica Lewinsky dress.

[00:08:21]Dwight shows Oldman their lab setup, but he's mostly interested in cameras for creeping on the co-eds. They've got everything ready for the guests to stay for a night and maybe a bite. Cindy joins the others at the dinner table, including her best bro, Buddy.

[00:08:32]>> Got to be quicker than that, Aup.

[00:08:34]Everyone settles in for a finger-licking meal, courtesy of Hansen, who can't stop handling the food. M stop. It's honestly foul. I'd rather grab a plate at a Sawyer barbecue. Elliot improvised most of this scene, and I wish they'd have cut it down. Like seasoning it with a face wart. Come on.

[00:08:50]>> Oh god.

[00:08:51]>> Intimidated.

[00:08:52]>> All right, I'm apologizing right now.

[00:08:54]>> Why?

[00:08:55]>> For >> Oh my gosh.

[00:08:59]>> Oh lord. Again, I like Elliot, but Hansen's too obliviously gross for me to find him very funny. A playful ghost says, "Ball is afterlife with a reference to the Changely." One of the most common horror references ever. It bounces everyone into a parody of the Nike ad from NBA All-Star Weekend 2000.

[00:09:15]They just do it for like 2 minutes straight, and I absolutely love it. Just like the what's up thing from the first movie, this was a lastminute edition. In fact, they kept adding jokes and bits throughout the entire shoot.

[00:09:25]>> We had half the movie written, and then half the movie we had to write on the fly. Cindy hears a ghostly voice who's had enough of her wideeyed Anjenoo stick.

[00:09:32]>> Check the music.

[00:09:34]>> Where are you? Check the fucking music room.

[00:09:36]>> On her way to the fucking music room, she picks up a buddy who Marsha Brady's her in the face. They follow bloody footprints to a secret bookcase door and learn that Hellous's former master was found murdered with his mistress. His name was Hugh Kane, a simple variant of Hugh Crane, the Hill House owner and antagonist in The Haunting of Hill House. The biggest suspect in Hugh Kane and his lover's murders was his wife Caroline, who turns out looked exactly like Cindy. Yeah, well, almost.

[00:10:00]>> Well, actually, her hair doesn't have as many split ends as yours, and her skin isn't as oily as yours either.

[00:10:05]>> They grab the late Mrs. Kane's chest.

[00:10:06]No, not like that. And book it back to their bedrooms. Elsewhere in the house, a horny fog rolls [music] in, and its room of choice is spelling trouble for Alex. This spectral sex pest is the ghost of Hugh Kane, who don't mind if Alex's undies are out of date. and still wants to get with her in a scene that starts as a parody of Poltergeist. Only instead of a 65 like on Dian's jersey, Alex sports a 69. Nice. She takes the LW Awakening in Stride. Bring it on. KATIE IS MY MIDDLE NAME, BITCH. SHE'S YOUR BOYFRIEND NOW, KANE. Speaking of Freddy, they filmed a scene just like Tina's kill from A Nightmare on Elm Street using a rotating room that Tori Spelling could crawl around to make it look like she was on the walls and ceiling.

[00:10:42]>> Come on down.

[00:10:44]Bam. Onto the bed. Good job. But I think there is a more specific reference at play here. A ghost having sex with a woman is straight out of the Entity, an undersung classic that I've previously talked about on What's Your Favorite Scary Movie? with Paige. In that movie, though, the sex stays non-consensual since it's about a ghost raping a woman.

[00:11:01]But it's played completely straight and works as a compelling drama. It doesn't make light of the subject like you might fear. That's better left to the parodies, like when Alex comes on too strongly during Pillow Talk, causing the Ghost of Cain to flee. Brenda and Ray are also getting into the sexy spirit.

[00:11:15]In a reversal of the first film, she gets to be the weird funny one when she takes dirty talk a little too far.

[00:11:20]>> I'mma piss on your face AND THEN I'MMA FART IN YOUR MOUTH.

[00:11:24]>> CINDY'S ABOUT TO GET TO SECOND base with Caroline's chest when the hell house cat, Mr. Kdles, goes all church on her.

[00:11:29]It's an extended silly scene that doesn't serve too much of a purpose other than making a raging bull reference and having Anna Ferris SCREAM THIS LINE.

[00:11:37]>> HELP! [screaming] MY PUSSY HAS GONE CRAZY.

[00:11:40]>> BUT I LOVE IT REGARDLESS. It's fucking hilarious watching Cindy maniacally try to slice a cat's throat with a broken bottle. Cindy tells Oldman about the possessed pussy, but he's only concerned with deposit that is spank bank.

[00:11:51]>> Maybe you two should sleep together.

[00:11:55]>> What are you getting at, professor?

[00:11:57]>> A reference to the haunting since this newcomer's name is Theo. Theodora is a character in Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel, The Haunting of Hill House. There have always been safic interpretations of Theo's relationship with Elellanor, the other female character in the story.

[00:12:09]Theo was played by Katherine Zeta Jones in the 1999 version where she was explicitly bisexual. In Mike Flanigan's series, The Haunting of Hill House, she's played by Kate Seagull and is a lesbian. That actually makes Scary Movies Theo the straightest of them all since she and Cindy turn down the offer and Cindy does her signature runaway.

[00:12:26]Ray's trying to do some bedtime push-ups when Creepy the Clown decides to strike.

[00:12:30]Since the clown is a reference to the one from Poltergeist, they recreate the scene where it pulls the kid under the bed. But in this version, Ray turns the tables and ends up raping the clown who was trying to rape him. I don't even know what kind of commentary I can give for a scene like this. Maybe like a funny bone joke. But how's that going to land when you've got Ray's dick literally wrapping around the clown's neck like an oldtimey cane pulling a bad act off the stage. Sydney finds dead wife Caroline's diaries, and reading them gets her all possessed and dressed up and a reference to What Lies Beneath, a pretty big horror movie from 2000 that has somehow escaped my radar the past 26 years. She finds old man who's ready to be thrilled, chilled, and fulfilled by this creature of the night.

[00:13:09]>> I think she's starting to suspect something.

[00:13:12]>> Who?

[00:13:15]>> Your wife.

[00:13:16]>> But he only catches some ray instead.

[00:13:18]Chill, dude. He just came down to get a banana. Not what he's going to do with that banana. Shorty's keeping his new best bud hydrated with bong water. Oh man, that place would smell so bad. He kicks back and considers ordering a CD of hip-hop Christmas hits like Santa Claus is Coming on Moms. Careful, that's the fastest way to make a Santa Claus killer. Seriously, you you don't want that to happen. Meanwhile, his buds go and fool Audrey, too, and gets hungry for revenge. The others show up and Buddy saves Shorty by bribing the plant with munchies. Then he gets pulled out the window in a way that also makes me think of Poltergeist in [music] the scene with that scary ass tree. At breakfast, Cindy tells the others what she learned about Hugh Kane and his wife. You know, the wife who looks just like Cindy mostly. She doesn't have as many split ends and her skin's not as oily as yours.

[00:14:00]>> She's pretty sure Caroline killed Kane out of revenge for having an affair. And now Kane is back as A POLTERGEIST.

[00:14:06]>> OH NO, I'M NOT A POLTERGEIST.

[00:14:09][laughter] >> Who's a poltergeist?

[00:14:11]>> Well, it's a spirit that can physically interact with the environment andor a horny woman. Probably a good time to leave. And Dwight does tell Oldman they need to shut this shit down, but Oldman won't listen cuz he's still trying to get laid. He might be in luck since the ghost of Kane's mistress Victoria arrives and briefly turns him into Nigel Thornberry. Mhm. He thinks she wants to play hide-and-clap cheeks, but he doesn't have a clue what she's really up to because it's murder. Yeah, pretty sure. At least we never see him again after this blackout, so I'm putting him on the count. Everyone else is locked inside the house, and the only one with the keys is Dwight. Theo tries to get them by seducing him with her whale tail, but he's just too proud.

[00:14:46]>> Hey, I don't need your help. Okay, lady, I can do it myself. He must have had that rib removal surgery kids were always saying Marilyn Manson got because there he goes bluing himself looking like that guy from Wishmaster 2. While he's busy autoilating, Theo knocks him unconscious and swipes the keys. But even with the keys, the house just won't let them leave. Dwight recovers and joins up with them, handing out ghost guns, body fluid detecting goggles, and the best communication device they can afford.

[00:15:13]>> Those is Dixie cops.

[00:15:14]>> With that, they decide to split up.

[00:15:15]>> HOW COME EVERY TIME SOME SCURRY SHIT HAPPENED AND WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER?

[00:15:19]YOU WHITE PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY LESS THAN.

[00:15:21]>> IT'S ONE OF THE BEST known horror cliches and was a solid contender in our March Madness bracket of worst horror tropes. Doesn't stop them from doing it and segregating the group with the black characters not a fan of their survival odds, which is another horror cliche, of course. Cindy and Buddy find a real bastard skelly hiding beneath a reference to the 2000 election. Oh man, that was probably the point where we branched off onto the worst [music] timeline, huh? They Scooby-Doo scramble out of there and Cindy leads the skelly straight to Brenda. At first, Brenda doesn't want to help her friend, but then she realizes it ain't that deep.

[00:15:53]>> THIS IS A SKELETON. THIS [screaming] IS BONES.

[00:15:55]>> HELL YEAH. THAT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS SAYING. They give that bony bastard exactly what he [music] deserves. This skeleton, which feels a lot like the one in William Castle's House on Haunted Hill from 1959, was a full practical puppet with five people controlling it and a radio operator for the mouth. Love to see it. Alex has gone full fatal attraction on Hu Kane, freaking him out since he only saw her as a booty call.

[00:16:16]To shut that shit down permanently, he drops a chandelier from the ceiling, killing her, and she doesn't even get the dignity of going out with a timeless reference.

[00:16:23]>> You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

[00:16:26]>> I love how much a snapshot that line is.

[00:16:28]The Weakest Link was a successful British game show that the US had just gotten their own version of. I remember it was supposed to be like the next Who Wants to be a Millionaire? But despite the huge expectations, it only lasted about a year until Jane Lynch's reboot.

[00:16:40]Of course, sex stuff is happening all over the mansion since the ghost of Victoria targets Shorty next. Her demonic face is almost enough to make him turn her away, but it's nothing a little bad can't solve. Hope that's not the only bag involved. Shorty wouldn't want you getting ghostia. And our final sex scene happens after the ghost locks Cindy and Buddy inside a walk-in freezer. Buddy sees it as a shining opportunity to get some action, so he says he's freezing to death. To save him, Cindy Jack torances HIM OFF. I'LL NEVER LET GO.

[00:17:05]>> HIS TITANIC finish once again plasters her with a powerful blast. Upstairs, Dwight gets in a wheelchair race with Kane that leads into a dirty hairy reference.

[00:17:13]>> Did I fire three shots or 117?

[00:17:17]>> He does in fact run out of ammo and decides to charge at him instead and after one more poop joke makes his attack. But Dwight's mission is too impossible and he flies out the window thanks to a tire blowout. Turns out they were Fire Stones, which had recently had a controversy where their tires caused several accidents that killed over 200 people. What? Holy shit. Dwight's still hanging on, but refuses to take Hansen's strong hand, so he falls to the ground below. Hansen doesn't seem too bothered by it as he turns around and gets possessed by Kane. While the first Scary Movie had that Matrix inspired fight scene, the sequel has a lot more action sequences. Maybe because it had twice the budget.

[00:17:51]>> Scary Movie was an incredible boot camp for me >> in comedy and in action. In any case, it meant a lot of serious work for the special effects team. Don't be fooled by their bins of penis gags and boobs. They had to make sure people were safe, not getting blasted too hard by vomit cannons or getting hurt during this wheelchair race. They developed fan blades that could hit someone and break without hurting them for a gag that was ultimately cut from the film. In fact, a lot of stuff was cut. It feels weird to say, but I'm impressed by Scary Movie 2's restraint. The DVD has more than 45 minutes of deleted scenes, which is more than half the movie's final run time. A lot of stuff was cut from that opening exorcist scene, including a bit where the bed was built and operated like a low rider. Back in the freezer, Cindy's clean as a whistle. A complete disregard for continuity. She maggyver a full freaking bulldozer in a fun gag that apparently spoofs the construction of an electromagnet and hollow man. I guess the goggles and guns they're using are also a reference to that movie, but I didn't know that cuz I've never seen it.

[00:18:48]Regardless, they free themselves from the freezer just in time to find the cane-possessed Hansen having a dinner party. He's got Shorty captive and is reenacting the scene from Hannibal where Hannibal feeds Ray Leotaa pieces of his own brain. But in this instance, instead of delicious brain food, he finds Beetlejuice inside, the rapper, not the ghost with the most. Oh shit, son. The girls squad up for a fight in their undies or scratch that and outfits referencing the popular 2000 movie version of Charlie's Angels. I guess that would make Chris Elliot the Crisp and Glover role. I mean, yeah. Yeah, I can totally see that. The sequence is scored by Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up, which is why it's always Brenda's entrance music and the Horror Royal Rumble. In Shellashi wins this year's match, which will be out in October.

[00:19:27]HORROR RUMBLE'S IN OCTOBER NOW. GET THE word out. With the help of Wireworks, they punch the ghost right out of Hansen. A still alive Dwight shows up so David Cross can nearly cause his co-workers to break. I love this wide shot where you see Masterson and Wayne struggling not to laugh. Dwight tells Cindy to bait Kane onto a device that will destroy him once and for all. It's a reference to a similar device in 13 Ghosts. Kane ends up falling for it.

[00:19:49]>> Now you WILL BE MINE >> FOREVER. [screaming] >> OKAY, I know that this one isn't an intentional reference, but the way he says forever does make me think of Freddy's dead.

[00:19:58]>> I WANT IT ALL. [screaming] >> OF COURSE YOU DO.

[00:20:01]>> Then open up >> and you shall be forever.

[00:20:05]>> Ray runs in and rescues Cindy just in time, allowing them to finally break the curse of Hell House. Two months later, Cindy's back at school with that shit-talking and just shitting parrot.

[00:20:14]Hey, don't get any on that chocolate starfish poster, dude. She's dating Buddy now. But he disappears right as Hansen returns to give us one last scare. Seems like Cindy's up shit's creek, but she's saved when Shorty hits Hansen with his car mid hookup with Victoria. Cuz if you need to kill off a scary movie character, a behind the wheel blowy always gets the job done.

[00:20:32]The movie ends with Nelly's Ride with Me playing over the credits, cementing the movie's Y2K vibes. How many test subjects failed to survive this hilarious haunting of Hell House? Let's find out and get to the numbers. Well, actually, we'll follow my little hand there. It's got a stronger sense of direction.

[00:20:56]There we go.

[00:20:59]I counted six kills in Scary Movie 2 with the victims evenly split between male and female. That gives us this evenly split pie chart made by Hansen himself by hand. Of course, we've seen this count and break down nine times before with representatives from some of the biggest horror properties out there.

[00:21:16]With a run time of 82 minutes, Scary Movie 2 had a kill on average every 13 and 2/3 minutes. I'll give the Golden Chainsaw for coolest kill to Alex, I guess. Just like the movies that inspired this one, there weren't a lot of interesting kills. Probably why I didn't watch supernatural horror as a kid. Dome machete for Lamus Kill will go to Professor Oldman done in by a hot ghost offcreen. And the champion chuckle for funniest scene will go to the Nike basketball commercial parody. It's a total nonsequiter, but it gives everyone in the cast a chance to shine, whether it's through actually decent dance moves or melanin challenged corniness. And of course, Ray Humping that ball, probably missing Bobby something awful. And that's it. Scary Movie 2 came out in 2001 and did pretty well at the box office, though not quite as good as the first. Also, it opened second to Cats and Dogs. I'm only doing these first two scary movies right now. But if there's enough clamoring, I can check out the other sequels. Even though, reminder, the weigh-ins were forced out of parts 3 through 5 by the Weinsteeen. With Scary Movie 6, they're back in control. But until next time, I'm James Aenise. This has been the Kill Count. Thanks a lot for watching this Kill Count for Scary Movie 2. At the time that you're watching this, Scary Movie 6 will be out. And [music] like I said in the last Kill Count, I hope it's good. I've seen some early reviews that aren't promising, but you know what? Who what do they know about comedy? It's so subjective. So maybe I is this just cope? I don't know. I'm just really hoping it's funny cuz scary movies one and two are funny. I think three is funny [music] too, right? Is that the one with the big hat? Reminder that we do have merch now at deadtore.com. Just a couple of evergreen things right now like the logo and the podcast of the dead shirt. But let us know if there are any past items that you might like to see brought back. Dead video stuff, haul summer stuff. I love the Be Good People merch, but if we bring that back, we'll find another charity to do all those donations to because we'll never profit off of that phrase. Also, I forgot to mention it last week, but we are putting a temporary pause on Killcow trailers. I said no to doing it for months, but uh the staff finally convinced me that they're a little overwhelmed right now with work, but with the Dead Meat Horror Awards going on and the launch of Dead Meat games. So, to give them a little relief in their schedule, we're just not going to have Kill trailers for a little bit. We'll get back to them later, I promise. But like doing them is at least a day of work for an editor. And right now we should probably spend that day doing something else. Thanks for understanding.
