Sci Fi Plans New 'Tactics' Law suit be darned, Sci Fi is bringing back "Scare Tactics" for nine new episodes starting Friday, June 20. Host Shannen Doherty (described in Sci Fi press releases as "unforgettable" ) will also return for the new episodes.
A "Candid Camera" show with a Sci Fi sensibility, "Scare Tactics" was created by Scott Hallock and Kevin Healey (NBC's "Spy TV"). It debuted on April 4 and fed into a rich vein of people who wanted to fool their loved ones into believing they were being abducted by aliens or babysitting a haunted house. The subjects scream, viewers at home laugh and catharsis is experienced all around. Since the show's premiere, the producers have been flooded with requests from people eager to set friends and family up on a good natured science fiction hoax.
"We are thrilled that the Sci Fi audience gets the joke and is lining up to join in the fun," says Hallock. "What's been amazing about this show is how many of our surprise guests turn around and want to set up friends or family of their own."
Not everybody has been so eager to join the fun. Before the show aired, a Los Angeles woman named Kara Blanc sued Sci Fi, claiming that she sustained physical and psychological trauma as a result of her prank, which naturally involved aliens in the desert. Related Shows
