Scary Movie 6’s Ending Was Rewritten Time and Again for a Meta, Franchise-Claiming Finale
TL;DR Summary
The ending of Scary Movie 6 was rewritten multiple times during photography, ultimately revealing Ray and Shorty as Ghostface killers who reclaim the franchise in a meta finale inspired by recent Scream trends. Earlier cuts tied up characters differently and even tested a Shorty death; audience reactions spurred further changes, with the team adding a house-fire nod and aiming for a bigger laugh and sharper satire. Some of the alternate endings may appear on home release.
