'Get Out (of the White House)' proves truth is scarier than fiction
Watch Next

Ready to be scared?

The box office-smashing, fear-inducing fright fest that is Get Out has been stunning audiences with its sharp exploration of racism. But sometimes (usually) the scariest things are the most familiar.

Like President Donald Trump's line "I am the least racist person you'll ever meet," the people in the town the movie's main character (Daniel Kaluuya) visits with his white girlfriend in the film are way too nice and creepy AF. That's how they get you!

But what if Chris' girlfriend was Ivanka Trump? Horror of horrors!

That's exactly the scenario that plays out in Funny or Die's new parody, Get Out (of the White House). Even Get Out director Jordan Peele is spooked and impressed by its play-by-play remake.
