    For my wife Spaceballs is the original and Star Wars is the spoof.

    But more seriously, too many people didn’t register that Scream was a parody. That way it managed to surpass older slashers.

      I wouldn’t call Scream a parody. Scary Movie was the parody. Scream was just self aware that it was a scary movie in a universe where scary movies exist.

        I watched the original Scream years after seeing Scary Movie, and realized Scary Movie is just Scream on cocaine. A lot of the jokes are the same or just slightly different.

        What’s the line between being self aware and a parody?

          How many lines of blow does it take before you stop writing a self-aware script and devolve into parody?
