Freak Out With ABC Family

Each episode of Freak Out will feature a new “mark,” chosen by a friend or family member, who will have to face his or her fear come to life. The Freak Out team will use “elaborate special
effects, intricate makeup, twisted actors, and multiple cameras” to terrify the target, until he or she realizes they’ve been pranked. “I’m glad to get reality back on our schedule and to continue to grow our original programming,” ABC Family President Tom Ascheim said in a statement. ABC Family has tried for the past two years to add reality shows back to their landscape and so far none have been successful. ABC Family has ordered Freak Out, a 14-episode alternative series from Jersey Shore executive producer SallyAnn Salsano.
