Scary movie I

Plot

At Halloween night, a young teenage girl named Drew Decker (Carmen Electra) is alone in her mansion when she receives a telephone call. Scared by its insidious tone, she grabs a baseball bat and answers the front door (thinking it is the prank caller) by attacking the trick-or-treaters. As soon as Drew returns inside the house, the caller appears, revealing himself as the murderer Ghostface. Ghostface chases Drew out of the house and onto the road, where Drew sights her father approaching in his car and calls for help, only to be run over by him while he receives oral sex. Stunned from the impact, Drew ends up being murdered.

Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) is using her computer when her boyfriend Bobby Prinze (Jon Abrahams) appears in the window. Bobby is sad because his relationship with Cindy is not sexual. Even though he expresses this to her, she refuses his intentions and he leaves Cindy’s house.

The next day in school, Cindy meets with Bobby and the rest of her friends, Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), Greg Phillipe (Lochlyn Munro), Ray Wilkins (Shawn Wayans), and Buffy Gilmore (Shannon Elizabeth). At the school, news teams are trying to interview the police and students who knew Drew; the most prominent among the reporters is Gail Hailstorm (Cheri Oteri). Cindy points out to the others that Drew’s murder happened exactly one year after they accidentally killed a man during a wild car ride and dumped his body off a pier. Greg swore the group to a pact that they would never reveal what happened that night, and he becomes physically abusive to Cindy when she exhibits reluctance to keep the affair quiet any longer.

In class, Cindy receives a note from someone telling her that he knew about the incident with the man they killed; the first appearance of Ghostface to Cindy. After football practice, Ray and Greg are in the locker room with some other guys, and after Ray and everyone else have left Greg for the showers, Greg finds a note tucked in the door of his locker showing a picture of his small penis. Enraged, he goes to Cindy and the others and tells them about the note, and is ridiculed for it.

Buffy, competing in a beauty pageant, does a dramatic acting piece during the talent portion. During her reading, Greg is murdered by the killer in the balcony. Seeing this, Buffy attempts to warn everyone, but her desperate pleas are considered by the audience and judges as an exceptional acting performance and Buffy stops caring about Greg when she wins. That night, Cindy is attacked by the killer as well, but she calls the police and the killer escapes. Bobby arrives with the same gloves and knife as the killer, and is arrested. Cindy goes to stay with Buffy that night but receives a call from the real killer, which results in Bobby’s release. Bobby and Cindy later bump into each other at school, but their reconciliation is awkward.

The killer confronts Buffy in the girls’ locker rooms. Making a sarcastic, metafictional observation about horror movies clich?s, Buffy mocks the killer, even as he stabs her, and continues to do so even after he decapitates her. In order to get her to be quiet, he throws her head in the lost and found bucket. Ray and Brenda go to a movie to watch Shakespeare in Love. Ray, while in a bathroom stall, peeps in on another occupant, and is impaled through the head by a penis. The killer then attempts to kill Brenda in the auditorium, but because of her discourteous behavior, the other patrons kill her before he gets the chance.

During a party at her house, a series of events start happening: Tina, an overweight girl, dies in the garage as she tries to escape Ghostface and turns out to be too big to fit through the pet-flap, causing the garage door to break down. After that, Cindy has sex with Bobby, which is rather vehement because of her long denial. Meanwhile, the killer arrives at the basement to kill Shorty and his friends, but becomes intoxicated by marijuana with them instead. When they are rapping with each other, the killer raps and simultaneously kills everyone except for Shorty.

Subsequently, the killer arrives upstairs and apparently stabs Bobby. As Cindy attempts to tend to Bobby’s wound, Bobby shoots Shorty (Cannabis smoke pours out of his wound as he dies), then he reveals that he was never actually stabbed. Ray appears, very much alive, and reveals that he and Bobby are copying the serial killer. When Cindy asks for a motive, Bobby says that they don’t need one, because horror movies do not have logically coherent elements like plot or motive. Bobby also suggests sarcastically that it was lack of sex that drove him to do this, and reveals that he and Ray are homosexual lovers (something that Ray hotly denies, despite several clear indications to the contrary) who will start a new life once they kill Cindy, a crime they will get away with because they are merely copycatting a real serial killer. To conceal their guilt, they decide to stab one another in order so that the authorities will believe them to be victims of the real killer. However, right after Ray has (by accident) fatally stabbed Bobby, Ghostface appears and stabs Ray to death, who collapses on top of Bobby in an incidental sexual position.

The killer then attacks Cindy, but she finds the courage to resist and evict him. The police arrive and take Cindy to the police station, where they find out that Buffy’s brother Doofy (Dave Sheridan) was actually faking his mental retardation and is the real killer, and is in cahoots with Gail Hailstorm. After Doofy and Gail escape, the sheriff and Cindy find Doofy’s disguise in the street and Cindy cries out in the street over this discovery, until she is run over by a passing car.

Also, after some of the credits, Shorty – as a parody of Randy from Scream 3 – makes a video explaining how he didn’t make it and the rules to survive a snatch-and-run.
