Scare Tactics is on again. SciFi channel. I had a reminder in my blackberry calendar to tell me to start recording it. It is basically Punk’d but with a horror twist. Instead of just playing around with people, you scare them. It is great entertainment.
Usually, it’s someone taking a new job and then something bad immediately happens to them. Occasionally, it is a group that picks up a psycho hitchiker or goes camping and someone gets “killed”. It is fun watching people freak out and really get engaged in the show. I think only once did they have to stop the prank because the “victim” started to attack one of the actors. Several times the victims have run away. One even ran so far away once that they couldn’t do the “wrap” up with them on site.
Season 3 started with a lady giving birth to a devil child – a midget painted red with a couple of little horns jumped out and attacked the doctor. That was pretty funny to watch.
Anyway, if you like seeing people get scared and possibly traumatized for life, you just might dig this show.
