31 SPOOKY MOVIES OF HALLOWEEN continues with SCARY MOVIE… from 1991.

And no, not that Scary Movie.

Nine years before the Wayans Brothers started spoofing Scream, there was this bizarre little Texas-made horror movie about an extremely nervous young man who visits a Halloween haunted house while an escaped killer may or may not be lurking somewhere inside.

And I’m going to admit something right now:

I spent a decent amount of this movie wondering what the hell was happening.

Scary Movie has that wonderfully grubby, homemade early-’90s horror feel, a legitimately great Halloween atmosphere, an extremely young John Hawkes, and enough strange tonal choices to make you wonder whether the movie is frightening you intentionally or if you’ve simply fallen asleep with the TV on and entered somebody else’s dream. The film was shot in Austin, Texas, and has since developed a reputation as an oddball Halloween cult discovery.

So naturally, it belongs in 31 Spooky Movies of Halloween.

🎬 Come along as I try to figure out 1991’s SCARY MOVIE, what works, what doesn’t, and why sometimes the most interesting horror movies are the ones that leave you staring at the credits thinking:

“…okay. Sure.”

Thanks for watching, and remember:

If you walk into a haunted house and something seems actually dangerous…

Maybe don’t assume the teenager making minimum wage is going for “immersive theater.”
