Open Season: Scared Silly (also known as Open Season 4 and Open Season 4: Scared Silly) is a 2015 American computer-animated comedy film. It is the fourth installment in the Open Season film series, following Open Season (2006), Open Season 2 (2008), and Open Season 3 (2010). The film was directed by David Feiss and produced by John Bush. It theatrically premiered in Turkey on December 18, 2015 and was released as a direct-to-video in the United States on March 8, 2016.
Plot
The film opens with Elliot telling a campfire story about the legend of the Wailing Wampus Werewolf that lives in Timberline National Forest. Domesticated Boog is terrified by the story and decides to "chicken out" of their annual summer camping trip until he knows the werewolf is gone. Determined to help Boog overcome his fears, Elliot and their woodland friends band together to scare the fear out of Boog and uncover the mystery of the Wailing Wampus Werewolf. Also, open season has reopened and their old enemy Shaw has returned to hunt them down and catch the werewolf. Meanwhile, Mr. Weenie believes he is the werewolf. In the end, Shaw is defeated (in which he is revealed to be allergic to hornets), open season is permanently shut down, and the werewolf turns out to be real, but Elliot befriends him by dancing and in the end credits he joins their camp out.
