The Screamening is a movie in The Amazing World of Gumball that appears in "The Spoiler." Gumball and Darwin go to see it at the cinema

In "The Spoiler," Gumball and Darwin want to see it but lack the money for the tickets. Anais offers to buy the tickets for them if they bring her along, but the boys refuse, deciding instead to wait until Friday when they get their allowance.

Throughout the week, several people talk about the movie around Gumball, nearly spoiling the movie for him. Eventually, they get their allowance and go to see the film. Anais sneaks into the theater with them and attempts to record the film to watch later.

Unfortunately, Larry catches her and chases the trio across the aisles. They manage to escape by spoiling the ending for the movie-goers and getting lost in the leaving crowd.

Plot

The movie is about a dentist and his hairdresser wife who inherit a remote cabin in the woods from the dentist's crazy uncle. As it turns it, the cabin is built on an ancient cowboy burial ground and the couple's car breaks down, which then leads to the wife following her husband down the cellar steps before realizing that there's a demon baby living down there and she ends up getting possessed. At some point in the movie the dentist unleashes an unspecified amount of evil spirits from the cellar.

The title of the movie is also a portmanteau of the words Scream and Awakening, which is apparently the sound that the dentist makes when his wife gives birth to a demon baby. This scene may have played out in the actual episode when Anais peaks her head back into the theater one last time, as the wife tells the dentist (presumably) to say hello to their new child, before the child shrieks and is revealed to be some monster, freaking out Anais.

Near the end of the film, it is revealed that the demon baby was just a figment of the dentist's imagination because he had seven split personalities, and that every character in the movie was one of them.

At some point in the movie, there is a dinner scene, but it is unclear what the context of this scene is.

Trivia

  • According to Gumball, this is the only film in ten years that is not "a remake, a sequel, a remake of a sequel, or a prequel of a sequel of a remake."
  • The male voice saying "it's coming back" and "it's right behind us" from the film can be heard again in "The Traitor".
  • The movie's title may be a reference to the Shyamalan film The Happening.
