Who wrote, directed and starred in both Madea Boo! movies?
Boo! A Madea Halloween 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 ninth 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, making it the second-highest film of the "Madea" series. A sequel, titled "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween", is set to be released October 20, 2017.
