A team including Spider-Man writer/director Sam Raimi are making a horror-themed reality series.
Knock-out competition 13 will be based around a series of film-styled frightening challenges. The show, previously developed under the title House of Horrors, is now going into production for The CW.
Raimi's horror credits include The Evil Dead. He will executive produce along with Jay Bienstock (Survivor, The Apprentice) and his production partner Robert Tapert.
Bienstock said of the concept: "It sounded like a lot of fun. The idea of doing a horror/scary/reality show with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert - there's nothing better.
"We want to cast it like a horror movie and shoot it a little differently as well. Think about those old movies - we want to put people in a place like that, where they have to deal with their fears and anxieties. They'll end up surprising one another."
