Another obnoxious comedy from the popular franchise parodying some of the biggest movies in horror.  This one had among the worst reviews of its franchise but still earned $178 Million worldwide.  This time the central parodies come from The Village, The Grudge and War Of The Worlds with smaller parodies of Saw, Saw 2, Scooby Doo and Brokeback Mountain among others.


Story:  Cindy once again finds herself drawn to a haunted house, her new place of employment.  Her quest to discovery the mystery of the boy's murder gets sidetracked by an alien invasion which she also tries to prevail.

Gay Factor:  2 closeted gay guys in a parody of Brokeback Mountain.  2 gay guys in the Amish village.  Small role from bisexual actor and one time porn star, Simon Rex.  The gayness is minimal and reserved to 2-3 scenes:  The guys at the bar reminiscing about their night in the tent; flashback of the camping scene; then just a few seconds of another couple at the village.  It's gayer than part 3 but not as much as the original Scary Movie.
