“The night he came home!” has of course been replaced with “the night she came home!” in the one-sheet, which also features purple nail polish on Madea’s hand and eyeglasses on the pumpkin. Here’s the official synopsis: “Madea winds up in the middle of mayhem when she spends a hilarious, haunted Halloween fending off killers, paranormal poltergeists, ghosts, ghouls and zombies while keeping a watchful eye on a group of misbehaving teens.”
