The premise

Unsuspecting people witness science fiction inspired pranks with alien abductions, hauntings, and other paranormal events.

Horror Vault's take

Scare Tactics puts everyday people in the crosshairs of elaborately staged horror and sci-fi pranks — from alien abductions to ghostly encounters — all captured on hidden camera. Friends and family set up their unsuspecting loved ones, then watch the chaos unfold as professional effects and actors make the impossible feel terrifyingly real. It's part prank show, part love letter to genre tropes, delivering screams and laughs in equal measure.
