The "Scary Movie" franchise doesn't just mock horror flicks. It's now taking shots at the King of Pop.
With the Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" set to arrive in theaters April 24, the promotional machine behind the new "Scary Movie" – the sixth installment of the long-running spoof series – released a new poster and teaser poking fun at the child abuse allegations against the iconic musician.
The poster features the faux Ghostface of the "Scary Movie" films with a "Thriller"-esque red jacket and sequined glove as well as the taglines "Prepare to hee-hee" and "Touching fans everywhere June 5."

The teaser, in addition to sending up horror movies like "Get Out," "Sinners" and "Terrifier," stars "Saturday Night Live" regular Kenan Thompson as a pratfalling version of Jackson. (It also contains a textual jab at the singer: "For generations only one artist has truly touched his fans.")
