Well I'll tell you one thing that I FIRMLY believe, and it's that The Wayans Bros, with both Scary Movie and A Haunted House, have single handedly ruined the genre of Spoof Movies. Their horror spoofs are utterly devoid of any sort of wit, cleverness and, most notably, a truly heartfelt sense of humor and laughter. Instead they all come across as completely disposable and lazy attempts at ringing 'comedy' out of all the films their trying to spoof. These movies are to horror spoofs what 'Soul Plane' was to 'Airplane!'; a flat out disgrace, plain and simple.
I'm certainly not going to say that 'Student Bodies' is the best, or even one of the best, Movie Spoofs ever made. But it SO far exceeds anything done in either Scary Movie(any of them) or A Haunted House(both of them) that it's practically non sensical to even try and compare them to each another. Student Bodies is a spoof that's still capable of eliciting some real genuine laughs for viewers even to this very day. Of course you have some jokes scattered throughout the movie which fail and fall flat on their faces, but that's pretty much par for the course when it comes to these particular types of movies, with the possible exception of Airplane! of course.
