The CW announced a new reality / horror TV series called “13” which will premiere in the summer of 2008.

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.”

What worries me from her comments is that it sounds just like “Fear Factor” which, to me, isn’t horror movie based.  Does anyone remember that reality show where the people had to find a killer on an island?  Now THAT was spooky and if “13″ is more like that then they’ll have a winner on their hands.
