For this month’s installment of “TV Terrors” we revisit the horror reality special “Can You Survive a Horror Movie?” which aired on Chiller TV for Friday the 13th in July 2012.

By the early aughts, the horror cable network Chiller TV had reached the point to where they were trotting out their own original series’ and movies. Among them was their heavily advertised attempt at a reality series entitled “Can You Survive a Horror Movie?” The premise of the one off special was essentially “Fear Factor” and “Mythbusters” mixed with a hard shot of horror. The hosts would not only test certain situations in the horror genre, but also partook in “challenges” related to horror movies.

Summary:

Can You Survive a Horror Movie? is the all-new original special from Chiller that will put the most terrifying horror movie moments to the test.

Is it possible to fight a zombie, and win? Could someone live on blood alone? How long could a human being survive being buried alive? The special’s three daring hosts – Anthony Marks (Remains) Annie Unnold (Celebrity Ghost Stories) and Morgan West (Dead Souls) – will confront these and other adrenaline-pumping Hollywood moments with the help of authorities ranging from doctors to physical fitness gurus to survival experts.

Its iconic setting is none other than the same idyllic camp in Blairstown, NJ popularly known as the macabre “Camp Crystal Lake” in the original Friday the 13th film.

Can You Survive a Horror Movie? is produced by Richard Drew and Roger Pelegrinelli for Savannah Media.
