“Scare Tactics”
returns to SCI FI with back-to-back new episodes premiering as a part of all new
Wednesday night programming at 10pm (ET/PT). The series also features a new
host, Actor Stephen Baldwin, who actually participates in one the scares in the
season premiere. The jolts this time feature an attack by motorcycle riding
vampires, an encounter with a hitman and his boss “Mr. B” (Baldwin), a
teenager who thinks he has been abandoned and trapped in a minefield, and a lab
assistant who thinks he has stumbled upon illegal genetic mutations.
I have to say I’m
surprised no one has gotten a heart attack from these scares because some of
them look pretty darn real. Anyway, Baldwin brings some enthusiasm to the series
as it’s host and if you liked the previous episodes of the popular series, I
am guessing you’ll tune in again when “Scare Tactics” returns as a part of
SCI FI’s “Alternative
Reality” series of Wednesday night programming with back-to-back episodes
beginning at 10pm (ET/PT).
