FAQ

Q: How can I buy all the episodes on DVD?
A: The only official DVD is Inside Fear. It doesn't contain all episodes, but is still great. Unfortunately we cannot assist in obtaining a set of the complete DVD collection. See the Merchandise section for more information.

Q: When will the third season be airing?
A: The show has been cancelled, so no more episodes are planned. The second season was unexpectedly cut short. There are rumors that the show might be bought buy other networks, including the Sci-Fi Channel, however these claims have yet to been proven. Reruns of the show have been aired in Canada and the UK.

Q: How do I audition for Fear? / How do I get on the show?
A: Currently MTV is not casting for Fear, since it is cancelled. Should the show resume production, MTV will announce casting auditions on their page: MTV's Casting Call

Q: What is the age limit to be on Fear?
A: You must be between 18 and 23 years old.

Q: What is the theme song from Fear, and who sings it?
A: The main theme is "Voodoo" by Godsmack. Click here to sample it. Several other songs have been featured, including "Awake" also by Godsmack. If you know of another song featured on Fear, please Contact Us and share the knowledge.

Q: How is the cast guaranteed safety if they are completely alone?
A: It seems there are people watching the camera feeds from a separate area, and have medical help available if needed. The feeling of isolation is simply to add to the fear.

Q: Where can I find an episode guide?
A: The best episode guide around is from MTV, but the TV.com Guide , and "Fear on MTV" is also worthwhile.

Q: Is the show rigged?
A: Some sound effects, and occasionally graphics are added to the episode in post-production, but most of the actual footage is based on what really happens. There are only minimal additions. Also, the names and histories of some locations are changed for safety reasons such as to keep the location secret, and prevent vandalism. The histories would be changed to keep people out of certain structures, and yes, once-in-awhile to embellish the story.

Q: Is this your show? / How is HalloweenTV.com connected to Fear?
A: HalloweenTV.com and Haunt Your Home Productions are not directly connected to the show in any way. We are not affiliated with the production company, MTV, or any other related entity. This is a fan site, meant to help people discover Fear and keep the memories of it alive.

They vow to quit making the set the minute MTV issues an official set, which they are still pleading for.
