What is Scary Movie 2026?
Scary Movie is a parody franchise that takes the biggest horror hits and rips them apart for laughs. The new film, often listed as Scary Movie 6, is the first entry in over a decade. Michael Tiddes directs, and the script comes from Marlon, Shawn, Keenen Ivory and Craig Wayans alongside Rick Alvarez. That writing room matters. The Wayans brothers created the original in 2000 and left after the second film, so their return is the reason fans got excited.
Anna Faris reprises Cindy Campbell. Regina Hall is back as Brenda Meeks. Marlon Wayans returns as Shorty, Shawn Wayans as Ray, and Dave Sheridan slips back into Doofy. New blood joins too, including Damon Wayans Jr. and Heidi Gardner. It is a proper reunion, not a cash-in with a familiar name slapped on the poster. The early box office backs that up: a film this far past its last sequel rarely opens this strong.
Why Ghostface sits at the heart of it
Here is the thing every Scary Movie fan knows. The killer in the original wears the Ghostface mask, the same hooded ghoul from Scream. That single image is the foundation of the whole joke. The 2026 film leans into the modern horror wave, but the Ghostface silhouette is still the icon people picture when they hear the title.
We do not stock Scary Movie merchandise, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we do carry is the genuine article the film parodies: officially licensed Scream and Ghostface collectables. If the spoof reminded you how much you love the real killer, that is the collection to raid.
Ghostface collectables to match the film

What makes a Ghostface figure worth keeping
Not every horror figure holds up. The ones that do tend to share a few traits, and the Scream line is a good case study. Fabric robes age far better than moulded plastic capes, which is why the NECA Ultimate and the larger Mezco pieces feel a cut above cheaper Pop! moulds when you have them in hand. Articulation matters too: the Ultimate 7" figure gives you swappable hands and accessories, so you can pose the knife grip rather than settle for one static stance.
From a collecting angle, officially licensed Scream pieces have stayed steady on the secondary market for years, partly because the mask design barely changes between films. A figure bought today still looks right next to one from a decade ago. That consistency is rare in horror lines, and it is one reason we point newer collectors towards Ghostface as a first proper shelf piece rather than a fad character that dates fast.
Common mistakes to avoid
First, do not pay over the odds for unlicensed Ghostface tat on marketplace sites. Plenty of it is knock-off rubber that splits within a season. Stick to named brands like NECA and Mezco and you know what you are getting.
Second, mind the scale. A 7" figure and an 18" plush are very different beasts. Picture where it lands before you buy, because a Mega Scale piece needs proper shelf room.
