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. In addition to frightening them, he’ll also entice individuals to work in concert with him and against the others, creating a situation in which the 13 will not only look over their shoulders but will also never be certain who is real before them.
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.
Those of you who love horror movies (like me) and always wondered what it would be like to live in one of your favorite movies like Cabin Fever, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th or Sleepaway Camp, 13 Fear Is Real is the show for you. 13 twenty-somethings stay in an abandoned house as a distorted voice, like the one in Saw, tells them their fates. Their first challenge has them paired in teams of the twos as one of the team member is tied to a chair and blindfolded, left alone in the woods and wait for their partners to find them…the last team back to the check point faces death. In the most original elimination process each member is buried alive in a wooden coffin and the first one to free themselves gets to continue on for the $666,666 prize while the other one is well….dead.
After watching this show, I would rather watch a horror movie than experience what it is like to be in one, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t love watching these 13 experience a real-life horror movie. So tune in to 13 Fear Is Real tonight and every Wednesday at 8p on The CW to watch as 13 people get the sh!t scared out of them and maybe some of it out of you too!!!
