USA Network, in collaboration with Jordan Peele and his production company, Monkeypaw Productions, is bringing a fresh perspective to the classic series “Scare Tactics.” The show will premiere on Friday, October 4, at 10 p.m. ET/PT, simultaneously airing on USA Network, Bravo, SYFY, and E!
This innovative reboot places ordinary people in the centre of their own horror movies, blurring reality and fiction. The series is hosted by a spectral pre-teen named Flip, a horror enthusiast who enjoys scaring people. With mischievous glee, Flip creates cinematic scenarios that put unsuspecting participants in amusingly terrifying situations.
Each episode presents pranksters setting up intricate pranks on their loved ones, who become the targets of these twisted plots. From disastrous dinner parties to supernatural encounters, the targets will make a series of humorous decisions, keeping audiences engaged. Even WWE superstars “The New Day” experience the horror when their promo with Cody Rhodes takes an unexpected turn.
“Scare Tactics” is produced by Universal Television Alternative Studio in association with Monkeypaw Productions and WMTI Productions, Inc. The executive producers include Jordan Peele, Win Rosenfeld, Jamal Watson, Scott Hallock, and Elan Gale, who also serves as showrunner.
