Open Season: Scared Silly, is the fourth installment of the Open Season franchise distributed by Sony Pictures Animation in 2015. It's Halloween themed for the last installment of the quadtrilogy, and manages to be spooky fun. The film was directed by David Feiss, creator of Cartoon Network and Hanna-Barbera's Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel, and produced by John Bush, with music by Rupert Gregson-Williams and Dominic Lewis. Feiss had previously worked on the first film back in 2006, where he served as the head of story.
Why It's Great[]
- It begins off with a spooky story about the Wailing Wampus Werewolf that haunts Timberline, then Boog getting scared by Elliot's story.
- Elliot declares that he'll help Boog overcome his fears.

- Boog is a very likeable protagonist in the movie.
- During Boog's dream Beth shows up again, although actually being the werewolf.
- Mr. Weenie is adorable showing up again in the film.
- The movie has interesting, and funny scenes to watch.
- Mr. Weenie sang really well with his werewolf song.
- After Boog eventually leaves Elliot for putting him in danger. He comes back again to rescue his best friend from Shaw, Ed, and Edna dressed up as werewolves.
- The fight between Boog, and Shaw has much more action with Boog eventually winning in the end.
- After Shaw, Ed, and Edna get arrested by Gordy. Boog is seen by Gordy, and is offered to come home, but he refuses because he's already home in the forest.
- The Wailing Wampus Werewolf is an interesting character ending up being real at the end of the movie.
- Elliot does the werewolf dance with the song What I Like About You playing, originally coming from Surf's Up, then with the other animals, even Boog joining in on the fun.
Bad Qualities[]
- There was weird logic moments in the film, such as Serge, and Deni laying eggs when they're male ducks, and even Mr. Weenie laying an egg as well as Elliot putting a rabbit through his ears, and out of his mouth, which can be uncomfortable for people watching the movie.
