10 Horror Movie Parodies You've Never Seen

10. Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th

Because Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th came out three months after Scary Movie, it was seen as a cheap rip-off that was rushed out of production. Ironically, Shriek went into production before Scary Movie did! But since it had the misfortune of being released second, it gave people the erroneous impression it was riding the tails of Scary Movie's success.

Even though Shriek has the same structure as Scary Movie, its style is far zanier. The masked killer is building a nuclear bomb. The school principal is played by Coolio. One of the characters has a twin cousin (which makes less sense the more you think about it).

Shriek isn't, by any stretch of the imagination, a great comedy and some jokes have aged like four-month old milk, but there are a lot people who prefer it over Scary Movie. It also has so many gags, you're guaranteed a couple of chuckles, even if you don't like the film overall. If you're not easily offended and enjoy comedies that fully commit to being stupidly bonkers, Shriek has a lot to offer.
