The queen of comedy and chaos is back — and this time, Halloween doesn’t stand a chance. Boo 3! A Madea Halloween (2025) brings Tyler Perry’s iconic character back to the big screen in a laugh-out-loud horror farce that blends supernatural mayhem with Madea’s trademark wisdom, wit, and one-liners that cut deeper than a vampire’s bite.
It all begins when Madea (Tyler Perry) reluctantly agrees to babysit her niece’s teenage daughter and her mischievous friends on Halloween night. What should’ve been a quiet evening turns into an all-out war against ghouls, pranks, and foolishness when the teens accidentally summon a vengeful spirit from the old McCoy Mansion — a place even Madea swore she’d never step foot in again.
Enter Tasha (Keke Palmer) — sharp-tongued, fearless, and every bit as headstrong as Madea herself. When the two clash, sparks (and insults) fly in what quickly becomes one of the funniest generational showdowns in Perry’s filmography. Add Mike Epps as Brian’s perpetually unlucky cousin — who insists he “ain’t afraid of no ghost” until he actually sees one — and chaos is guaranteed.
As the night unfolds, haunted houses start talking back, possessed pumpkins roll through the streets, and Bam (Cassi Davis) gets convinced she’s “married a spirit” after being kissed by a ghost. Hattie (Patrice Lovely) attempts to perform an exorcism using cornbread and holy water, and Joe — as always — delivers commentary so wild it’ll make audiences choke on their popcorn.
But beneath the laughter, Boo 3! finds its heart in Madea’s unstoppable sense of strength and family. When the supernatural mess threatens to tear the town apart, she steps up with her usual blend of humor and no-nonsense courage. “The devil don’t scare me,” she declares, “I’ve been to church potlucks with worse.”
Director and writer Tyler Perry gives the film a playful mix of slapstick, satire, and spooky surprises — keeping it light on terror but heavy on entertainment. The visuals sparkle with neon-lit cemeteries, fog-soaked graveyards, and carnival colors that make every scene pop like a Halloween candy explosion.
Keke Palmer brings a fresh, fiery energy to the series — her quick comedic timing perfectly balancing Perry’s deadpan humor. Mike Epps doubles the fun with his blend of clueless bravery, making him the perfect sidekick in Madea’s world of madness. Together, the cast delivers nonstop laughs, ghostly gags, and heartfelt family moments that remind audiences what makes the Madea franchise so enduring.
Soundtrack highlights include Halloween hip-hop remixes, gospel-infused beats, and an original track by Palmer herself — an anthem about facing your fears and keeping your wig on straight.
By the finale, the ghosts aren’t the only ones screaming. Between exorcisms gone wrong, a zombie flash mob, and a dramatic showdown involving Madea, a cross, and a taser, Boo 3! cements itself as a hilarious holiday tradition. The final scene — Madea sitting on her porch, sipping tea, while spirits float by — proves once again that nothing scares her… except running out of sweet tea.
⭐ Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)
Funny, frantic, and frightfully entertaining — a wild ride through haunted hilarity and Madea-style mischief.
🎃 Coming this Halloween — fear meets fierce!
