She's Scrambling My Brain!
I'm currently re-watching the first three safe in the knowledge that the last two will be worse. What happened to spoof films anyway?

Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer completely destroyed the genre with a whole host of lazy films. Date Movie, Disaster Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, Vampires Suck, and the later Scary Movies all came out within three years. They were all shit.

Disappointed
I was expecting an hilarious 9/11 spoof given the title

Well acted, produced and written spoofs take time and money
Cheaper, shorter spoofs with a no-name cast that are less professionally produced and written can often be just as funny and are often found on popular websites.
That second part is a guess and I'd guess those that make them also might make money from them if they are popular

I thought the 3rd one was the only watchable film
of the whole lot. They may have gone off a bit on the '8 Mile' parody instead of sticking to spoofing horrors, but it didn't half upset Eminem fans. I once, honestly, heard someone say 'they shouldn't have been allowed to do that, they should have stuck to horror films'. Anyway, they had far more higher profile rappers cameo at the end than 8 Mile did!
Scratch that - if we're talking spoofs in general, 'Not Another Teen Movie' is still the best. Loads of excellent sight gags in the background too, like the bookshelf in the library marked 'Weird Science' and the 'Anthony Michael (dining) Hall'.
