CS Video: The Bizarre Origins of Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween

Tyler Perry explains the strange origins of his latest comedy, Boo! A Madea Halloween

The origins of Tyler Perry‘s latest entry in the highly-successful Madea franchise are, indeed, peculiar. Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween hits theaters this Friday and, bizarrely enough, is inspired by a fictional Madea film mentioned in Chris Rock‘s Top Five. Sitting down with ComingSoon.net, Tyler Perry explains the whole story and reveals why he, a man who actively dislikes the holiday, decided to bring A Madea Halloween to life. Check out the full interview in the player below!

As Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween begins, divorced dad Brian (played by Perry) must leave his rebellious teen daughter Tiffany (Diamond White) home alone on Halloween. He enlists his aunt Madea, Uncle Joe (both also played by Perry), and friends Hattie (Patrice Lovely) and Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis) to keep an eye on her.

Determined to meet her girlfriends at a nearby frat party, Tiffany tricks her four gullible chaperones with a frighteningly realistic ghost story that convinces them to stay in their rooms so she can sneak out. All hell and hilarity break loose when Madea, Hattie and Aunt Bam crash the party to bring their baby girl home. And when the women call the cops to break up the Halloween rager, the brothers of Beta Psi Alpha dress as ghosts and ghouls to terrorize them. But of course, the boys soon learn that they are messing with the wrong woman.

Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween also stars Bella Thorne as Rain, Andre Hall as Quinton, Yousef Erakat as Jonathan, Lexy Panterra as Leah, Liza Koshy as Aday, Brock O’Hurn as Horse, Jimmy Tatro as Sean, JC Caylen as Mikey, Kian Lawley as Bean Boy, and Mike Tornabene as Dino.
