I don’t do scary. So living in a horror movie is definitely not my idea of fun. But hey, these days people will do just about anything for 15 minutes of reality show fame and a few bucks. Hence the premise of tonight’s new CW reality show, 13- FEAR IS REAL.
We’ve known reality shows have been like bad horror movies for years, but now it’s come full circle. 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.
