Overview

• Wayans and producing partner Rick Alvarez will develop the U.S. version with Craig and Clara Plestis of Smart Dog Media alongside MBC.
• Episodes will feature well-known actors performing cinematic, comedic-scary reenactments, with a hidden “mystic audience” lighting candles to judge the winner.
• Producers say the American take will heighten the comedy within the horror competition framework.
• The adaptation is in development without a confirmed network, premiere date, or announced celebrity lineup.
• MBC’s original is in its fifth season with notable YouTube traction, and Ugly Baby is separately producing Scary Movie 6 for a June 12, 2026 theatrical release.
