USA Network to Launch Scare Tactics from Jordan Peele & Monkeypaw Productions

As a seasoned gamer and horror movie enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming USA Network show, “Scare Tactics,” produced by none other than Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions. Having grown up watching hidden camera shows, I’ve always been intrigued by the blend of reality and comedy, and the fear of the unknown.


If you’ve never thought about how you would react if you were in a horror movie situation, it’s worth preparing a plan now. This is because “Scare Tactics,” a daring new take on the well-known prank show, will soon be airing on USA Network.

Using Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, “Scare Tactics” brings unsuspecting people into the starring roles of personalized horror films. With a cinematic twist on hidden camera shows, friends and family orchestrate bizarre and amusing predicaments for these unwitting participants. The lines between reality, terror, and humor become blurred as viewers laugh, jolt, and hold their breath in anticipation of what comes next.

“Jordan Peele, known for his groundbreaking ideas as one of today’s most innovative creators, is teaming up with us to produce his first unscripted series. We’re thrilled about this collaboration. Expect a fresh take on the original ‘Scare Tactics,’ filled with humor, surprise scares, and over-the-top moments when in Jordan and Monkeypaw’s capable hands.”

Reimagining an “All-Time” Hidden-Camera Show

At Monkeypaw Production, we’re thrilled to collaborate on reinventing one of our beloved hidden-camera shows. Working alongside Elan Gale, an innovative and playful mind in unscripted television, and Scott Hallock, the mastermind behind “Scare Tactics,” has been an enjoyable experience. Laughs and tension are a perfect blend, and the creative pranks we’ve prepared for this season will leave you amazed. We can hardly wait to bring some delightful schadenfreude to viewers soon.

“Jordan Peele teaming up with hidden cameras, unsuspecting people, and horror-movie situations: get ready to discover the result! It’s an exhilarating journey I’ve had working on this project with Monkeypaw Productions, NBCU, and USA Network. We can’t wait for you to enjoy Jordan’s unique blend of fear, laughter, and reality in his first unscripted production.”
