    For my wife Spaceballs is the original and Star Wars is the spoof.

    But more seriously, too many people didn’t register that Scream was a parody. That way it managed to surpass older slashers.

      Can confirm scream was one of the first horror movies I watched and I just figured the rest were like that.

      I wouldn’t call Scream a parody. Scary Movie was the parody. Scream was just self aware that it was a scary movie in a universe where scary movies exist.

      I saw Spaceballs before I saw Star Wars. I cannot take any Star Wars movie seriously now.

      My gf used to believe that Scary Movie was the original. She didn’t had idea that there was an actual movie called Scream.
