Known Trivia
- Filming begun on Tuesday, September 4, 2012 and wrapped on Thursday, October 25, 2012. Additional footage recordings and re-shoots occurred between January and February, 2013 with ADR sessions taking part in March and April.
- Anna Faris didn't return for Scary Movie 5 due to pregnancy. Other cast members from the previous films, like Regina Hall, Kevin Hart and Anthony Anderson were offered roles but opted not to return.
- Ashley Tisdale took ballet exercises to prepare for her role.
- This is the only film in the entire Scary Movie franchise that does not feature any main characters from the previous films, Cindy Campbell (Anna Faris) or Brenda Meeks (Regina Hall).
- Actor Craig Bierko was previously attached as portraying Dan, although he was later replaced by Simon Rex for unknown reasons.
- Longest break in the release of Scary Movie films at almost 7 years.
- David Zucker directed the additional/re-shoots from January to February 2013. Main actress Ashley Tisdale told in several interviews that the material from the re-shoots (and ADR sessions) make about 60% of the final theatrical cut. Director Malcolm D. Lee didn't have anything to do with the editings since he was already engaged in doing "The Best Man Holiday" (2013) by the time they did them. Lee didn't even show up at the "Scary Movie 5" premiere in LA for unknown reasons.
- Not screened in advance for critics.
- Both David Zucker and the sound mixer, Chris Durfy are avid Green Bay Packers fans and Wisconsin natives. They both have a cameo in the Black Swan spoof near the end of the movie dressed as Packer fans for the Lambeau Leap.
- Marlon Wayans, who originally created the "Scary Movie" franchise alongside his brothers Keenen Ivory and Shawn back in 2000, told in an interview that the studio asked the Wayans Brothers to return for "Scary Movie 5", but the brothers declined. Marlon Wayans later released his own horror movie spoof "A Haunted House" (2013) which performed so well at the box office that it spawned its own franchise, with "A Haunted House 2" to be released in 2014.
