    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?
