Sci Fi Channel 'Scares' Shannen Doherty For Reality Show
Sci Fi Channel is getting into TV's hidden-camera reality game show buisness with "Scare Tactics," a half-hour show hosted by "Beverly Hills, 90210" alumna Shannen Doherty to launch in the fall.
Sci Fi has placed a 13-episode order with producer Hallock Healey Entertainment for the show, which will launch in October as a weekly primetime weekday series.
Created by Scott Hallock and Kevin Healey, who served as executive producers of NBC's summer series "Spy TV," the show is billed as a sci-fi version of "Candid Camera." The show will secretly film pranks inspired by sci-fi movies with setups that will run the gamut from haunted houses to alien abductions.
"Scare," which hasn't yet been given a time slot, is part of Sci Fi Channel president Bonnie Hammer's strategy to broaden the network ( news - external web site) audience with shows that will also appeal to the non-sci-fi junkie.
"It's to throw out a wider net," Hammer said. "To bring in those people who are interested in reality shows but are willing to suspend belief and to have fun."
Hammer said "Scare" is one of the first fruits of its two-year development plan to come up with what she describes as "alternative reality" series.
"We're finally getting some of these series on the air," Hammer said.
Other broad-based sci-fi series in development include "Starport Authority," a scripted comedy that's a sendup to reality TV about the day-to-day grind of futuristic Starport authority beat cops.
