And no, it doesn't involve host Shannen Doherty.

A Los Angeles woman named Kara Blanc is suing the cable channel, "Scare Tactics" creators Scott Hallock and Kevin Healey and two actors who took part in the stunt in which Blanc was unwittingly involved, the Los Angeles Times reports.

"Scare Tactics" puts a supernatural twist on the "Candid Camera" premise by staging events like alien abductions or hauntings and films the reactions of the people who aren't in on what's happening. Hidden-camera shows typically film a stunt, then get permission from the "marks" after the fact; if someone refuses to be shown on camera, the footage is scrapped.

In her lawsuit, filed Friday (Feb. 14), Blanc alleges she was told she'd won an invitation to a party at a desert resort. On the ride there, however, the car broke down and she was told by the people with her -- actors on the show -- to run away from an alien who was about to attack them.

Blanc says she suffered injuries and psychological trauma that hospitalized her several times and caused her to miss work. She's asking for damages and an injunction that would stop the show's producers from "surreptitiously recording the traumatized reactions of any other persons in the future."
