Tiffany (Diamond White) and her three friends Aday (Liza Koshy), Rain (Bella Thorne) and Leah (Lexy Panterra) are walking past their frat house, as Jonathan and the rest of them all go over to them to invite them to the party and seem to flirt a little . Brian (Tyler Perry), Tiffany's father and Madea's nephew (Uncle Joe Simmon's son), catches them at the frat house, which he had ordered Tiffany not to walk by and angrily orders her and her friends to get in the car with him, to which she refuses and tells him they can walk home because it's right around the corner . Brian forbids her from going near the frat house ever again and reveals that he is sending her and her brother to their mom's house while he is out of town, much to her dismay . Later on that day, Brian spies on Tiffany's conversation with Jonathan, the frat president, on a mobile tablet and notices how sexual things seem to be getting, much to his anger and indignation . </P> <P> That night, Madea (also played by Tyler Perry) and Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis) are sitting outside of her home on Halloween Night giving away candy to kids trick - or - treating while Bam is secretly stealing back some of the children's candy, until one kid (dressed as a cow, which Madea mocks the kid's mother for) notices her stealing his and an argument ensues . After that a clown approaches with a huge jack - in - the - box, which frightens Bam . As the clown is approaching, Madea threatens him and dares anything to jump out of the box . Another clown pops out and she immediately punches the clown, causing it to fall out of the box . It is revealed to be Uncle Joe (also played by Tyler Perry), Madea's brother and Brian's father, and Hattie (Patrice Lovely), a longtime friend of Madea and Aunt Bam, who then go on to explain they were just trying to scare them for fun . Meanwhile, in order to keep Tiffany from sneaking off to the Halloween party, Brian calls Madea, out of options, to stay there and look after Tiffany to keep her away from the party . Madea agrees and Bam, Joe, and Hattie tag along with her after Brian promises to pay Madea . Tiffany and her friend Aday, realizing that Madea and the others are there to watch them and keep them from sneaking to the party, decide to trick them into sleeping early by faking a story about a man named Mr. Wilson who committed murders in their house, and she tells them that the only safe rooms are the bedrooms . She then convinces them of the story's authenticity by secretly hitting a remote control to turn the lights off in the house to frighten them . </P>
