Playing Madea, an
elderly but feisty African American woman, Perry is tasked in
the film with babysitting a teenage girl preventing her from
sneaking out to attend a Halloween party while her father, also
played by Perry, is out of town.
Madea and her band of grannies encounter poltergeists, ghosts
and zombies in a film that's both funny and frightening.
"It's so much fun and for new fans, it's a younger, hipper,
sleeker movie," said Perry at the film's L.A. premiere on
Monday, where he was joined on the red carpet by Oprah Winfrey.
For many of the young cast, this is their feature film debuts,
including vloggers Yousef Erakat and Liza Koshy.
The film hits U.S. cinemas on Friday.
