The horror-comedy franchise is making a triumphant return. On Monday, June 1, the cast and creative team behind Scary Movie 6 took over New York City's Times Square, transforming the iconic location into "Shorty's Living Room" for an exclusive fan celebration.

Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Anna Faris—who have been central to the parody series' success—joined forces to bring beloved moments from the franchise back to life for audiences gathered at the event. The gathering served as a major promotional push ahead of the film's theatrical bow.

The ensemble cast reunites for another round of horror-comedy mayhem. Alongside Wayans and Faris, Regina Hall returns to reprise her role, with Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Kim Wayans, Chris Elliott, Cheri Oteri, and Damon Wayans Jr. also joining the lineup.

According to the official premise, the film picks up 26 years after the original's events. The Core Four find themselves back in the crosshairs of a killer, with the story taking aim at contemporary horror trends. The narrative targets reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, and every "final chapter" that isn't actually final. The Wayans brothers bring their signature satirical approach to cancel culture as well.

Paramount Pictures dropped the final trailer for the film during the Times Square event, giving fans one last look before release day arrives.

The Motion Picture Association assigned the film an R rating for crude sexual content, graphic nudity, strong violence, drug content, and language throughout.

Scary Movie 6 arrives in theaters on June 5.
