Scary Movie

http://movie.goo.ne.jp/movies/PMVWKPD31972/

Scary Movie is a 2000 American comedy film directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. It parodies the horror and mystery genres. Several mid- and late-1990s movies are spoofed, including the more subtle horror film parody series Scream trilogy, The Sixth Sense, I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Usual Suspects, The Matrix, and The Blair Witch Project, while it also parodies many of the classic horror films, most notably Halloween.

The tagline is "No mercy. No shame. No sequel.", with the last reference being to the tendency of popular horror movies to become long-running franchises. However, in 2001, Scary Movie 2 was released (with the appropriate tagline "We lied"). The film was followed by a series of sequels Scary Movie 3 (2003), Scary Movie 4 (2006) and a Scary Movie 5 is in development for 2008. The franchise has also spawned similar films, Date Movie, Epic Movie and its pseudo-sequel, Meet the Spartans, and Superhero Movie, all of which except for Superhero Movie were written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, two of the original writers of Scary Movie. 2 more spoof films are being made called Disaster Movie and An American Carol. The original title for the film Scream was "Scary Movie" which ironically was later used to parody it. Both films were released through Dimension Films. It is the highest grossing film by an African-American director in history

HAPPY TREE FRIENDS
http://karmamilk.seesaa.net/article/26235175.html
Happy Tree Friends is a Flash cartoon series by Mondo Mini Shows, created by Rhode Montijo, Kenn Navarro and Aubrey Ankrum. Since its debut the show has become a popular internet phenomenon and has won a cult following.
As indicated on the official site and evidenced by the show's TV-14 and TV-MA ratings, it is "not recommended for small children". Notwithstanding the cute appearance of its characters, the show is extremely violent, with nearly every episode featuring blood, gore, and violent deaths.
While the violence of these deaths is comparable to that of The Itchy & Scratchy Show (the short cartoon featured on The Simpsons), the portrayal of death in Happy Tree Friends is more graphic and anatomically correct, depicting bloodshed and dismemberment in more vivid, exaggerated detail.
The show is nearly free of dialogue; however, when the characters do speak, their words are severely garbled. Though it is obvious what each character's reaction is, their words can barely be understood. The exceptions to this are Pop and Lumpy, who can be easily understood when they speak. They have garbled speech as well, but can actually be understood on most occasions. According to the website, the idea for Happy Tree Friends was conceived by Rhode Montijo when he drew a yellow rabbit, slightly resembling the character Cuddles, on a piece of paper and wrote "Resistance Is Futile" underneath it.
