The humans and animals believe a werewolf is on the loose, and former hunter Shaw uses the opportunity to re-open the season. Boog, Elliot, and Mr. Weenie have to face their fears and find the werewolf to get the season closed permanently.
Open Season: Scared Silly is a direct-to-video/TV fourth entry in a franchise that had already run its course. The plot recycling familiar beats with a werewolf gimmick feels formulaic and uninspired. Voice acting is serviceable but lacks the energy of the theatrical original. Animation quality is noticeably downgraded for TV production. The werewolf twist offers minimal novelty within an already derivative sequel series. The ending resolves predictably with no real surprises. Across the board, this is a below-average to middling family animation effort with no standout category.
