Scary Movie 6 Parodies Michael Jackson Controversy With Jackson-Inspired Poster

Scary Movie 6 released a Ghostface-inspired poster that directly parodies Michael Jackson promo material, featuring taglines like "Prepare to Hee-Hee" and "Touching Fans Everywhere" tied to longstanding child-abuse allegations. The film, which brings back core cast members, is slated for a June 5 release by Paramount, with a teaser showing Kenan Thompson as a bumbling pop icon. The Lionsgate biopic Michael, meanwhile, will not explore the allegations, and a New York Magazine feature about director Antoine Fuqua notes his skepticism about the accusations.
