March 17, 2008 (Burbank, California) - “13” (working title), a
spine-tingling new eight-episode series combining the horror genre with a
reality show format, will premiere in the summer of 2008, it was announced
today by Dawn Ostroff, President of Entertainment, The CW.
The show's executive producers are Jay Bienstock (“Survivor,” “The
Apprentice”) and Ghost House Pictures' Sam Raimi (the “Spider-Man”
films, “The Evil Dead” films) and Robert Tapert, (“The Evil Dead”
films, “The Grudge” films). Ghost House Pictures' Joe Drake and Nathan
Kahane will produce.
“This series is the first to take the horror movie into the reality
world,” said Ostroff. “The action takes contestants on a journey with
challenges and games designed to frighten them along the way. Similar to
horror films, the challenges will play into our deepest fears and
anxieties and will reveal things the contestants never knew about
themselves.”
