Synopsis

Thirteen people compete to "stay alive" as they face their deepest fears in an all-out elimination competition and scare-fest.

Pitted against each other in situations straight from the horror movies, the 13 will face shocking surprises, psychological scares and lots of "beware of the dark" moments, all designed by a "mastermind" of terror.

Each week, one unlucky victim will be "killed off" via frightening challenges and game-playing until only one person is left to win the grand prize of fittingly $66,666.

Each episode makes contestants face their fears through challenges devised by horror and action film creators.

Challenges include escaping from the boot of car while it's being compacted, getting out of a flooding room and being buried alive.

The show was executively produced by Jay Bienstock (Survivor, The Apprentice), Sam Raimi (the Spider-Man films, the Evil Dead films) and Robert Tapert (the Evil Dead films, The Grudge films).
