Boo! A Madea Halloween is a 2016 American comedy horror[3] film directed, written, starring and co-produced by Tyler Perry. The idea for the film originated from a fictitious Madea Halloween movie that was mentioned in Chris Rock's 2014 film Top Five.[4] It is the eighth film in the Madea series and the second to not be adapted from a stage play (the first being Madea's Witness Protection) as it tells the story of Madea being enlisted by her nephew Brian to watch over his daughter Tiffany as she deals with different horrors and a frat party around the corner. The film stars Perry, Cassi Davis, Patrice Lovely, Yousef Erakat, Lexy Panterra, Andre Hall, Liza Koshy, Diamond White, Brock O'Hurn, and Bella Thorne.
The film was released by Lionsgate on October 21, 2016, and grossed $74.8 million.
A sequel titled Boo 2! A Madea Halloween was released the following year on October 20, 2017.
