When actor\/comedy writer Marlon Wayans, along with his older brothers Keenan Ivory and Shawn, started spoofing the horror movie genre at the turn of the century, they created a cinematic gold mine with the \u201cScary Movie\u201d franchise. <\/p>\n

Fast-forward through a barrage of sequels in the last decade, one would think Marlon would have become tired doing the same shtick. Well, he wasn’t; simply because he stepped away from the horror movie spoofing racket after \u201cScary Movie 2\u201d in 2001.<\/p>\n

Yet while watching the most recent batch of haunted products, Wayans\u2019 horror spoofing fire was reignited. And he then built \u201cA Haunted House,\u201d which opens its sarcastic doors this Friday across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes when you step away from something, and you start analyzing things, having that break allows you to have fresh eyes,\u201d says Wayans. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like you date a girl, then you break up with her. And then another guy started hittin\u2019 it, and you\u2019re like, \u2018You know what?\u2019 there was something sexy about her, and you want her back.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was sitting there watching \u2018Paranormal Activity\u2019,\u201d he continues. \u201cAnd I\u2019m just like, \u2018Why do white people act like this? Why do white people lose all common sense when they\u2019re in a horror movie when they are smart, rational people?\u2019 So for me, what if \u2018Paranormal Activity\u2019 happened to a black couple? Well, first of all, we\u2019d move. And that thought is when all the jokes started hit. So then I started thinking how do I keep this people in the house for more than five minutes?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that was the challenge; especially in a world where the cinematic audience is hip\/accustomed to the spoofing style\/delivery. Wayans elaborated on how he and co-writer Rick Alvarez were able to make this screen-worthy funny.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really depends on the movie,\u201d he says. \u201cFor this movie, after six months of writing and polish, it was ready. Some movies like \u201cWhite Chicks\u201d took a year-and-a-half. \u201cScary Movie 1\u201d took three years to write. This one kind of just hit me, so it was just going off instinct. And we\u2019re like, \u2018Alright this (script) is good enough, and the rest we\u2019re going to find on the scene (production set).\u2019 I wanted to make it a loose enough script so that people can improvise because that\u2019s how found-footage movies are. And being the first found-footage R-rated comedy, I wanted to keep it in the spirit of being a found-footage type of movie.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Playful chatter about the horror genre continued, where Wayans revealed that 1984\u2019s “A Nightmare on Elm Street” actually freaked him out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAh, Freddy Kreuger. I was like 13 or 14 years-old and I started drinking coffee. Yeah, a 13 year-old drinking coffee.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

What about interacting with some female horror icons if it were possible? <\/p>\n

Joe:<\/strong> Have you ever played the F, Marry, Kill game?<\/p>\n

Marlon:<\/strong> I play it in the park every day.<\/p>\n

Joe:<\/strong> Alright, so here are your choices: Carrie, Mrs. Voorhees, and the girl from Paranormal Activity. Go.<\/p>\n

Marlon:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m killing Jason\u2019s mother (Mrs. Voorhees); cause if she made one killer, she just has issues with her DNA.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to bang Carrie. I\u2019m definitely going to bang Carrie. Crazy vagina is usually is the best.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the girl from Paranormal Activity seems the most normal. I mean, yeah, sometimes she gets possessed, but that happens. Women get possessed once a month anyway, so this is normal.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

From there, he talked about whether he felt any pressure riding without his \u201ctraining wheels\u201d (brothers).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not like I feel like I\u2019m a newcomer, you know? It\u2019s kind of like Michael Jackson coming up in The Jackson 5 and then he goes out does an album – I\u2019m not comparing myself to Michael by the way. Uh, let me rephrase that, it\u2019s like Janet (Jackson) doing the \u201cControl\u201d album. Basically it\u2019s more an extension of that Wayans style brand than a departure. And if it sucks, I\u2019ll just change my last name to Osmond.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

So when writing a script, what\u2019s the atmosphere like? Do writers constantly laugh at their own jokes or are they just quiet for the most part\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cSome times that happens. You say, ‘Oh that would be hilarious.’ And then you\u2019re laughing with the other writers, and say that\u2019s crazy and we can\u2019t do it. And then we go, yes we can. And then we find ourselves laughing about something for a half-hour and say no way, no way, and then, ah let\u2019s just do that.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
