Scary Movie 6 Poster Spoofs Weapons’ Aunt Gladys After Oscar Win

Scary Movie 6 has unveiled its first teaser poster, and it draws from a recent awards season moment. The promotional image spoofs a recognizable horror character while continuing the franchise’s tradition of parodying popular films and cultural headlines. The reveal offers an early look at the film’s latest take on genre satire.

Scary Movie 6’s first poster is a spoof of Aunt Gladys from Weapons

Scary Movie 6’s first teaser poster parodies the character Aunt Gladys from Weapons. The poster was released by Paramount after Amy Madigan won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Weapons.

The image recreates the villain’s look. It includes the tagline “Aunt You Gladys I’m Back?” The poster also shows the title Scary Movie and the theatrical date June 5.

An Instagram post from the official Scary Movie account shared the poster. The caption read “Mad props Aunt Gladys. #Oscars #ScaryMovie.” The official Scary Movie account shared the post on social media hours after the Oscars announced Amy Madigan’s win for her performance. The poster references Aunt Gladys, the villain from Weapons. The design also follows the parody style that defines the Scary Movie franchise.

Scary Movie continues its tradition of parodying well known horror titles and characters. Reports state the new installment will reference Terrifier 3, Weapons, Sinners, A Quiet Place, Annabelle, MA, Get Out, The Substance, M3GAN, and the newer Scream films. The franchise has historically built its humor around recognizable scenes, characters, and genre tropes.

The upcoming film also brings back several actors from earlier entries in the series. Confirmed returning performers include Dave Sheridan as Doofy, Cheri Oteri as Gale, Regina Hall as Brenda, Marlon Wayans as Shorty, and Anna Faris as Cindy. Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall also reunite alongside additional returning cast members and new performers.

The marketing material arrives twenty six years after the original 2000 Scary Movie. That film introduced its parody version of the masked killer inspired by Ghostface. Promotional information states the new film targets modern horror trends such as reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin offs, and legacy franchise continuations.
