Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge cast and director line-up announced!

Back in December, we shared the news that director/producer Aaron B. Koontz is working on a sequel to the horror anthology Scare Package (watch it HERE), which our reviewer The Iceman called “one of the best times I’ve had all year” and gave a 9/10 review. Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge will be released through Shudder, and today the streaming service announced the names of some cast members and the directors who are contributing to the film!

Here’s the information, straight from the press release:

Co-created by Aaron B. Koontz and Cameron Burns, the comedic sequel brings back many of the first film’s most beloved characters, including Rad Chad himself, Jeremy King, Final Girl Jessie, played by Zoe Graham, and Rad Chad’s video store foil Sam, played by comedian Byron Brown.

Additional cast joining in on the madness include Rich Sommer (Summer of ’84), Kelli Maroney (Chopping Mall), Graham Skipper (Beyond The Gates), Maria Olsen (Starry Eyes), and Shakira Ja’nai Paye (the upcoming House Party reboot).

The sequel also features returning director Anthony Cousins, with a sequel to his previous segment entitled THE NIGHT HE CAME BACK AGAIN PART VI: THE NIGHT SHE CAME BACK, with star Chelsey Grant. New directors include veteran actress Alexandra Barreto (Mayans M.C.) with her segment WELCOME TO THE ’90S; Australian filmmaker Rachele Wiggins (Deadhouse Dark) with the segment WE’RE SO DEAD; UK filmmaker Jed Shepherd with his segment SPECIAL EDITION, which reunites him with cast members from Shudder’s sensation Host, which he co-wrote and produced.

Details on the story segments are being kept under wraps for now. We do know that Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge

immediately follows the events of the original with the survivors attending the funeral of “Rad Chad” Buckley, which quickly devolves into an elaborate series of death traps centered around Chad’s favorite films, forcing the guests to band together and use the rules of horror to survive the bloody game.

Koontz provided the following statement:

Sequels have such a maligned, but significant part of horror history, we couldn’t resist tackling the tropes that we know and love so well from our favorite horror franchises. But we knew that in true sequel fashion we’d have to go bigger, funnier and gorier, and this batch of filmmakers embraced that challenge in every way!”

Koontz and Burns produced Scare Package II: Rad Chad’s Revenge with Ashleigh Snead and Alex Euting. Shawn Talley and Farrell Rose co-produced for Paper Street Pictures. The film will be streaming exclusively on Shudder later this year.
