Boo! A Madea Halloween is a 2016 American comedy horror 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. It is the eighth in the Madea series, and it is the second Madea film (the first being Madea's Witness Protection) to not be adapted from a stage play. The film was released on October 21, 2016 by Lionsgate, received generally negative reviews and grossed $74 million.
The film begins with Jonathan and his fellow fraternity brothers discussing their upcoming Halloween party. Tiffany and her three friends Aday, Rain and Leah are walking past their frat house, as Jonathan and rest of them all come out to invite them to the party and seem to flirt a little. Brian catches them at the frat house, which he has ordered Tiffany not to walk by and orders her and her friends to get in the car, in which she refuses and tells him they can walk home, because it's right around the corner. Brian forbids her from going near the frat house and reveals that he is sending her and her brother to their mom's house while he is out of town, much to her dismay. Brian then spies on Tiffany's conversation with Jonathan, the frat president, on a tablet and notices how sexual things seem to be getting.
Meanwhile, Madea and Aunt Bam are sitting outside of her home giving away candy to kids trick-or-treating while Bam is secretly stealing the children's candy until one kid (dressed as a cow, which Madea mocks the kid's mother for) notices her stealing his and an argument ensues. After that a clown approaches with a huge jack-in-the-box, which frightens Bam. As the clown is approaching, Madea is threatening him and dares something to jump out of the box. Another clowns pops out and she's punches the clown, causing it to fall out of the box. It is revealed to be Joe and Hattie who explained they were just trying to scare them for fun. Meanwhile, in order to keep Tiffany from sneaking off to the Halloween party, Brian calls Madea, out of options, to stay there and look after Tiffany to keep her away from the party which Joe and Hattie tag along for after Brian promises to pay Madea. Tiffany and her friend Aday, realizing that Madea and the others are there to watch them, decide to trick them into sleeping early by faking a story about how a man named Mr. Wilson who committed murders in their house and the only safe rooms are the bedrooms and she then convinces them by secretly hitting a remote control to turn the lights off in the house.
