A Peek Behind-the-Scenes of FOX's New 'Fear Factor: House of Fear'

The reboot features 14 contestants facing psychological challenges and social eliminations in a remote mansion, shifting from physical stunts to deeper fear-based tests, Fox said.

  • Fear Factor: House of Fear, hosted by Johnny Knoxville, launched with 14 players sequestered in a remote Vancouver mansion, airing Wednesdays at 9/8c on Fox.
  • Michael Heyerman says the show shifted to a long-form social-experiment approach by putting players cast with genuine fears into a house to see what authentic stories arise beyond the original Fear Factor.
  • Contestants live full-time in the house, each episode starts with a big challenge awarding powers that influence End Game elimination, and stunts like 'Sealed Fates' tap deep-seated phobias.
  • The house dynamic produces heightened social strategy and the living-house format creates secret alliances among housemates, while the mansion’s water-side, forested design sets a vintage horror tone for viewers.
  • Expect callbacks to classic Fear Factor gross-outs even as the show leans into psychological stakes; trailers preview End Game eliminations and Michael Heyerman teased a `Pain Auction` as among his most unhinged hours.
