Marlon Wayans (Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2) is set to star in an untitled Halloween adventure-comedy in the works for Netflix, we just learned, and today brings more casting news.
Variety reports that “Stranger Things” star Priah Ferguson has signed on to star alongside Wayans in the movie, playing a teenager who unleashes an evil spirit on Halloween night.
The film will be directed by Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf, Truth or Dare, Fantasy Island).
This one sounds quite a bit like Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween…
“The story follows a teenage girl, who after accidentally unleashing an ancient and mischievous spirit on Halloween, which causes decorations to come alive and wreak havoc, must team up with the last person she’d want to in order to save their town – her skeptical father (Wayans).”
Wayans is on board to star as well as produce.
Rob Rugan, Todd Berger, and John R. Morey are writing the script.
