Raimi Eyes CW Horrors
Director/producer Sam Raimi is developing a hybrid horror/reality series House of Horrors for The CW network, Variety reported. Raimi and his longtime producing partner Rob Tapert are executive-producing. CW executives told the trade paper that the show could be on the air as early as next summer once it gets a green light.

Gunnar Witterberg (Treasure Hunters) came up with the idea and will serve as co-executive producer; William Hamm is also onboard as co-executive producer.

In Horrors, competitors will try to stay "alive" in a mysterious house in which they must face their darkest fears. One by one, players are "killed off" via elaborately staged "deaths" that will mix elements of the reality and horror genres.

In addition to the Spider-Man franchise, Raimi's credits in the horror/thriller genre include The Evil Dead, Army of Darkness and The Gift. Raimi also produced The Grudge 2, which opens Oct. 13.

He has the credentials to pull it off, having working both in films and in TV.  It just might be an intesting series.

That does sound like a very interesting series. Though, i'd rather see short tales of fiction instead of a more 'reality TV' format, but it might be good..

Reality TV's still popular so I guess that's why they're going in this direction.
