Some lucky fans got the chance to see Tyler Perry's new movie "Boo! A Madea Halloween" with Perry himself on Sunday night. The filmmaker who wrote, directed and stars in the new comedy made an unannounced visit to the private screening.

"I want y'all to laugh, enjoy yourselves, tell somebody about it. If you love it tell somebody. If you didn't love it, shut your mouth!" he joked. "Enjoy it and have a good time with it."

Here's a quick video clip from the red carpet:
