I’ve had some ideas for reality television shows.
It has been pointed out that my ideas are more “elaborate and dangerous practical jokes on innocent people” than television shows. But on the other hand shows like Joe Millionaire and WB’s Superstar USA, and Scare Tactics seem to indicate that elaborate and dangerous practical jokes are a valid entertainment choice.
My first idea is called “The Haunted Manor”. A group of standard attention-whore reality show fodder are placed in an actual haunted house. Last one to quit wins a fabulous and expensive prize.
Naturally the house isn’t actually haunted. But it will be built, and controlled by a high end special effects studio. All of the background, history and so on will be elaborately faked. Given enough lead in time, and enough of a budget a fake special program about haunting could be produced, for the express purpose of convincing people that the house is a real place, with a long documented history.
Once the contestants are inside, it’s just a matter of screwing with them until they start snapping.
