All 5 Original Scary Movies are Free to Watch Now (Just in Time for the New Sequel)

Nearly three decades after the original Scary Movie cleverly spoofed horror films, the franchise returns with a sixth installment this week. It reunites Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) and her friends to face a new threat. As you’d expect from a parody, the movie will poke fun at current pop culture and entertainment. And if you’re in the mood for more, all five previous Scary Movie films are now available to stream for free in one convenient location.

All five Scary Movie films – from the original in 2000 through Scary Movie 5 released in 2013 – are currently available to stream on Pluto TV at no cost. While three of these movies were briefly on Tubi in April, this marks the first time in a while that all five have been offered for free on a single platform. The first two films, directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans, are often considered the strongest in the series, but all five are guaranteed to be funny and a great way to prepare for the latest Scary Movie installment.

The Original Scary Movie Was a Huge Success (And Worth Revisiting Before The New One)

Released in 2000, Scary Movie arrived during a revival of slasher films, following the success of movies like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream. While known for its often crude and hilarious humor, the film was surprisingly clever in its parody. It didn’t just make fun of horror movies; it also satirized broader aspects of pop culture, and it challenged the boundaries of what was considered acceptable in comedy at the time.

Although the original Scary Movie remains the best in the series, the new installment benefits from a wave of nostalgia. It’s not alone in revisiting its roots, especially considering Scream 7 recently brought back familiar faces and villains. The new Scary Movie features the return of Cindy, Shorty, Ray, and Brenda, who are once again facing a killer from their past. With this focus on the original storyline, it might be helpful to rewatch the first Scary Movie before seeing the new one to refresh your memory.

As a big fan of the Scary Movie franchise, I’m excited to share that Scary Movie 6 hits theaters on June 5th! If you need a refresher, or just want to revisit the classics, the first five movies are currently available to stream for free on Pluto TV. It’s a perfect way to get ready for the latest installment!
