Bio
Not much is known about Mama in regard to her life and her real name. According to legend, she was cursed by The Book Of Evil and was transformed into a corpse-like state, forced to wander the woods where she was cursed. However, she seems to have ghost-like attributes, so she might be dead and merely able to take on a physical form. She also sometimes takes the form of a huge mass of dark hair.

Scary Movie 5
Several years later, Mama encountered the Sanders Children and sought to have possession of them. She possessed Lindsay, the girlfriend of Charlie Sanders, their father, and murdered him. Abducting and adopting the Sanders children and caring them as her own. As their protector, she became extremely protective of them and exceptionally jealous of all other persons who distract them from her. When J'Marcus and D'Andre found and rescued the kids, Mama entered Kathy Sanders's doll and followed them to their new house where she haunted both Dan Sanders and Jody Sanders for control of the children. In doing so, she exhaustedly assaulted Dan Sanders, abusing him excessively in "accidents" and terrifying his wife, Jody Sanders with strange sounds and plotergeist activity, also causing Maria, the house keeper to sleepwalk. The Sanders tried hiring Blaine Fulda to attempt to exorcise her, but he turned out to be a scam artist and fled in fear from her her. Dan's intelligent chimpanzee, Caesar, however, was a real threat to exorcising her. However, a misunderstanding lead to him being surrendered to animal control.

Mama eventually took the children to a cliff to sacrifice them and have them in the afterlife after Jody failed to exorcise her with the book. Jody eventually got the children to reject her, and Mama ended up knocked off a cliff and eaten by a shark in a pool on J'Marcus and D'Andre's boat, destroying her.

Trivia

 * Just what Mama is supposed to be is undefined. According to her flashback, she is a cursed human being who has taken on a cadaverous form. However, in the house scenes, she can appear and disappear at will and cause paranormal activities as if she was a ghost. Unfortunately, in the end, she gets eaten by a shark as if she was human. If she can be eaten by a shark, she can not be a ghost, which leaves all of her powers and even her ability to hide herself unexplained.
