The CW has given an eight-episode order to
13, an unscripted series from feature director Sam Raimi (
The Evil Dead,
Spider-Man) and reality producer Jay Bienstock (
Survivor,
The Apprentice). Although the project was originally developed years ago under the title
House of Horrors,
Variety says the premise remains the same: Horror-themed challenges will eliminate players one by one, until a winner is left standing amid all the Karo syrup/"bloodshed." Still, it is likely to induce less cringing than Paris' new show.
13 is being eyed for a summer launch date.
