For five seasons from 2003 to 2013, Scare Tactics terrified its targets and had viewers in stitches with its horrific pranks. Now, thanks for Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, the series is back, helmed by showrunner Elan Gale. With a new ghostly host and a slew of complex new pranks, this is Scare Tactics for audiences new and old, ready to make you laugh and make targets sprint away in fear.
For those unfamiliar with the show, Scare Tactics turns unsuspecting individuals into the main characters of their very own horror movies in a cinematic approach to the hidden camera concept. Each episode features devious pranksters setting up friends and family, known as targets, in hilariously twisted scenarios that blur the lines of reality, horror and comedy.
We spoke with Gale about his deep love of horror, the incredible teams that made the show possible, and pushing boundaries when it comes to terror.
