Scary Movie 2


The sequel to Scary Movie begins with a parody of The Exorcist, in which Megan Voorhees (Natasha Lyonne), is possessed and two priests, Father McFeely (James Woods) and Father Harris (Andy Richter), must drive the demon out. The exorcism doesn't go as planned, and a chain of The Exorcist-like vomiting occurs. Megan insults McFeely's mother and he shoots her in the head.

One year later, Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris), Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall), Ray Wilkins (Shawn Wayans) and Shorty Meeks (Marlon Wayans) — even though most of them died in Scary Movie — are at college, trying to live new lives, after the incident in the last movie. Cindy and Brenda get tagged by a dorky girl, Alex Monday (Tori Spelling); Ray, who is still confused by his sexuality, has two new friends, Tommy (James DeBello) and Buddy (Christopher Masterson); while Shorty is still the same stoner he was in the last movie.

The story begins when a college professor, Professor Oldman (Tim Curry) and his wheel-chaired assistant Dwight (David Cross) plan to study ghosts from a haunted mansion, with the clueless teens as bait. Newcomer Theo (Kathleen Robertson) becomes part of the study group.

As Cindy drives to the mansion she is singing along (very badly) with a song (Graduation Song by Vitamin C) when the radio stops and you can hear a voice coming from the radio, yelling "Hey! Will you shut the fuck up and let me sing?". When Cindy arrives at the mansion, she meets a talking Amazon parrot who is vulgar and slanderous, and the caretaker, Hanson (Chris Elliott), who has a grossly disfigured hand. After some weird incidents on that night (Cindy being beaten up by a cat, Ray raping a toy clown after it had attacked him, Shorty getting attacked and smoked by a weed-monster, etc.), the teens finally learn about the professor's plan and try to escape the mansion.

The professor gets killed by a female ghost with disfigured features. The gang would like to kill the ghost of the mansion's former owner to escape. To this end, they are equipped with several technological devices by Cross that serve to harass and injure the spectral enemy. They are pursued all throughout the mansion. Hanson gets possessed, and Cindy, Brenda and Theo parody Charlie's Angels to get him, but end up beaten up.

In the end, they use Cindy as bait to lure the ghost to a device that ultimately destroys it. Two months later, Cindy encounters Hanson again when she and Buddy are taking a walk. After Buddy disappears without notice, she looks up to see Hanson serving at the hot dog stand. She screams "No!" while Hanson screams "Yes!". Hanson is instantly hit by a car. It is being driven by Shorty, who is being romantically serviced by the beautiful ghost...with a bag over her head.

It is also revealed that Cindy is now taking care of the parrot, who despises her because she talks so much.
