It’s been twenty years(!) since the Wayans brothers took a stab at spoofing Wes Craven’s Scream with their mega-hit Scary Movie, which spawned several (terrible) sequels over the years.
The film had its own twist ending, parodying the shocking final moments of The Usual Suspects, in which the character of Doofy shakes off his limp and rips off his mustache, revealing that he’s been putting on an act the entire time.
Dave Sheridan, who stole the show at Deputy Doofy, shares with The Production Meeting his own incredible idea for spin-off.
“It could be a really funny but captivating tale about ‘Who is Doofy?’ and really, ‘Who is the guy that plays Doofy?’ — because at the end [of the film], I take the mustache off and my hair’s slicked back, and I tear off the shirt, and I’m a good looking guy.”
As explained/transcribed by Moviehole, in the new film or series, he’d reprise the latter role, the character now “a high profile serial killer in a plexiglass holding cell” and then have a ‘Clarice Starling’-style agent would then come to talk to about other killings to seek his assistance.
Having an older Sheridan turn in a Hannibal Lecter-esque performance from a Silence of the Lambs setting is brilliant, really.
Sheridan adds to the pitch, noting that it would be anthology-style and he could play the killer in all of the shorts. “It would be like an anthology. They would all be à la carte serial killer shorts. That could be cast with a lot of comedic actors. I think it would also fall into the realm of spoofs – recent ones that haven’t been done yet like [Halloween] and Annabelle.”
What do you all think? Would you want to see this Scary Movie spin-off? Maybe with the next Scream on the way in 2022, it opens the door for this franchise revival as well?
