Horror or Horrible?

Reality television has taken the approach of many different formats since it began airing. Networks are able to put their finger on what will and what won't be successful just by the pitch of a show. Once a show flops, everyone can scratch any variation of the flopped format off the board. Perhaps The CW Network didn't get that memo.

The CW Network has gone to the drawing board to draft up a horror reality television series. Several years ago Fox tried something similar. The show was a flop, and after the winner died in the September 11th attacks, the show was never heard of again.

The CW has chosen Sam Raimi to produce the show. Although the show is still in the building stages, a representative from The CW Newtork has already mentioned what contestants on the show will have to endure.

“The action takes contestants on a journey with challenges and games designed to frighten them along the way. Similar to horror films, the challenges will play into our deepest fears and anxieties and will reveal things the contestants never knew about themselves.”

Because that sounds so different from every other reality television show, right? Right...
