"Harry Potter" star Danielle Radcliffe had audiences jumping in February's "The Woman in Black." Due to its worldwide success the horror film will be getting a sequel, and we've got some of the frightening scoop on it.

The highly anticipated James Watkins sequel has been named "The Woman in Black: Angels of Death." According to Empire Online, the follow up to the 2012 film will take place during World War II.

"Seized by the government and converted into a military mental hospital during World War II, the sudden arrival of disturbed soldiers to Eel Marsh House has awoken its darkest inhabitant," reports Perez Hilton on the synopsis.

"Eve, a beautiful young nurse, is sent to the house to care for the patients, but soon realizes she must save them from more than their own demons. Despite Eve's efforts to stop her, one by one they fall victim to the Woman in Black."

Sounds spooky!

Although a sequel to the book "The Woman in Black" was never created, the books author, Susan Hill has helped work on the new project.

"We are proud and honored to be working with Susan again on a wonderful new tale every bit as atmospheric and terrifying as its predecessor," stated Simon Oakes, Hammer Media's CEO.

According to Empire Online, the actual screenplay for "The Woman in Black: Angels of Death" has been created by Job Croker, who was the story editor for the first film.

The original "The Woman in Black" film had opened at No. 2 at the U.S. Box Office, pulling in $21 million during its opening in February. In the U.K. the film became the "highest grossing British horror film in the last 20 years."
