20 Things You Didn't Know About Scary Movie

12. Damon Wayans Was Originally Going To Cameo As The Killer

Though the end of the movie reveals that the masked killer was none other than Doofy Gilmore (Dave Sheridan), an early version of the script planned for an entirely different reveal.

In this earlier draft, the killer would be outed as none other than Damon Wayans, the brother of not only the movie's stars and co-writers Marlon and Shawn, but also director Keenen Ivory Wayans.

In the end, Damon sadly couldn't join his brothers for the movie due to scheduling conflicts and so his part was written out, with Doofy instead getting the Usual Suspects-esque final reveal.

It's tough to imagine the original reveal being any funnier, honestly.
