Scary Movie 2 is a 2001 horror comedy parody film. It is the second film of the Scary Movie franchise. Though part of the first Scary Movie's tagline read "No sequel," this film's tagline compensated by adding "We lied". Scary Movie 2 was originally rated NC-17 for sexuality but it was edited for an R-rating. The cut material resurfaced on the home video release. The film parodies a range of horror-thriller movies, including The Exorcist, Poltergeist, The Changeling, Hollow Man, The Legend of Hell House, and The Haunting. The film currently stands as the last film in the series to star the... Wayans siblings, and the last to be directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans. Some of the original working titles were Scary Sequel and Scarier Movie. The film opens with a parody of The Exorcist, during which teenager Megan Voorhees becomes possessed by the spirit of Hugh Kane, the previous owner of the House. Two priests, Father McFeely and Father Harris attempt to drive Hugh's ghost out, but the exorcism does not go as planned, resulting in a chain of vomiting and various instances of near-pedophilia.
