Scare Tactics is back. The classic comedy-horror series has been reimagined by Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, and will premiere this Friday (October 4) at 10 p.m.
ET/PT on USA Network. The episode will also air simultaneously across Bravo, SYFY and E!.
Here’s a plot summary: “This audacious reboot will turn unsuspecting individuals into the main characters of their very own horror movies in a cinematic approach to the hidden camera concept.” Keep reading to find out more… The series will be hosted by Flip, “a spectral pre-teen obsessed with horror movies and fascinated by human fear.
With twisted glee, Flip creates horrific cinematic scenarios and drops real people into the leading roles.” Each episode will feature “devious pranksters setting up friends and family, known as targets, in hilariously twisted scenarios that blur the lines of reality, horror and comedy,” via the network. “From a casual dinner party that takes an unexpectedly cannibalistic turn to a pair of newlyweds that are the proud new parents of something…less than human, the targets will navigate one unreal decision after another as audiences laugh, jump and are left breathless for more.” The show will include an appearance from WWE superstars “The New Day,” when a seemingly run-of-the-mill promo opportunity with Cody Rhodes turns into a terrifying paranormal event.
