Scary Movie (2000)

Where Scary Movie says it takes place, and where it was really shot.

A US small-town slasher spoof that was shot in British Columbia: a Victoria high school, Richmond's Steveston waterfront, and houses out in the Fraser Valley.

Scenes and places

Drew's house on Halloween night (2000)

Drew, alone on Halloween, takes a threatening call and is chased outside by someone in a Ghostface costume. The film opens on the horror it is about to make fun of.

Set in Drew Decker's house — A home-alone phone call on Halloween night turns threatening.

A suburban house, as in the slasher films the film spoofs.

The school where the news crews gather (2000)

Cindy sits in class, notices the killer watching her from outside, and then gets an ominous note. She realises the murder happened a year to the day after she and her friends accidentally killed a man.

Set in Cindy's high school — News crews converge on the school after Drew's murder, and Cindy spots the killer watching from outside.

A high school at the centre of the news frenzy.

Buffy's beauty pageant (2000)

At the pageant, a murder happens in plain view and the audience reads it as acting. The film plays the oblivious crowd for laughs.

Set in School pageant stage — Buffy's dramatic reading is the stage for a murder the audience takes for part of the act.

A stage setting; no shooting place found in the sources.

Cindy home alone (2000)

Cindy is attacked at home and gets the killer to back off by calling the police. When Bobby turns up, things get worse for him, not for her.

Set in Cindy Campbell's house — The killer attacks Cindy while she is home alone; she calls the police.

The family house that returns later for the party.

The pier where the body went (2000)

The friends' secret from a year ago, the thing the killer is punishing. Where it sits in the film's running order is a guess.

Set in A pier — A past event from the story: the friends' accidental killing of a man a year earlier. The plot text does not place it on a pier, so no story position is given.

A former salmon cannery on the Fraser River waterfront in Steveston.

Filmed at Gulf of Georgia Cannery, Richmond, BC — A fan page names this old cannery as the pier where a body is dumped; the place itself is a listed heritage site, the film claim has a single source. Google Maps · Apple Maps

Same house as the earlier attack scene.

The sheriff's station (2000)

Cindy deals with the police, who are slow to see what is in front of them. Where this scene sits in the running order is a guess.
