List of Scary Movie (film series) characters

Scary Movie takes most of its plot from two movies, Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The movie revolves around a group of teens who, accidentally, kill a pedestrian and keep it a secret. It comes back to haunt them when a vicious killer, whose mask is similar to that of Ghostface from the Scream franchise, starts to kill them because of what they did. Most of the films revolve around how Cindy Campbell deals with the killer.

After finally giving up her virginity to Bobby, he reveals himself as the killer. However, the real masked murderer shows up and engages in a martial arts fight with Cindy.
