In case you’re unfamiliar, the comedy slasher films play off of horror hits such as Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.

The first installment to the 5 film franchise was directed by Keenen and co-written by him and his brothers. It was released in 2000 to a record-breaking $43.5 million, making it one of the highest-grossing R-rated horror movies of that time. In total, the franchise has earned over $896 million worldwide.
