Scary Movie 6 Official Title Trolls One of the Film Industry’s Dumbest Trends

Now, Scream 6 has been officially announced, and it has a joke in its title, spoofing a trend Hollywood has been using for too long. According to a casting call from Hylton Casting, the movie is filming in November 2025 and will go by the stylized name “Scary MoVIe.” The title uses Roman numerals for the number 6 (VI), which is something Hollywood has been doing for far too long and is no longer original.

Scary Movie 6 Slamming Movie Trends From the Start

The fact that Scary Movie 6 will be known as Scary MoVIe shows that it is coming out shooting from the start. The most notorious was clearly the Fox Marvel movie The Fanta4tic Four, which made no sense at all since “4” has no meaning in the title’s pronunciation. There was also the title for Se7en, which is likely where Fox got the idea for the Fantastic Four title, although Se7en is a drastically better movie, and at least the “7” is in the word that matters here.

There have also been some weird ones, like how the horror movie The Witch was stylized as The VVitch, which indicates the time period it is set in, with the “VV” inspired by a 17th-century pamphlet that director Robert Eggers once saw. Other titles just tried to make the titles look cool, like with the sci-fi movie eXistenZ. Darren Aronofsky’s breakout movie was π, which, of course, stood for Pi.
