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
Tome Guide which we edit is also very good, 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.

Encounter |
Notes:
Because MTV refused the many pleas from Fear's many viewers to release
a comprehensive release of Fear, a group of devoted fans came together to
create their own set as a way to preserve the show and help others discover
the gem that MTV threw away. They vow to quit making the set the minute MTV
issues an official set, which they are still pleading for.
This item is not offered by HalloweenTV.com,
but we are honored to have a link to our site on the case artwork. Because
of its fan produced nature there is no official seller. However, we have been
told they occasionally appear at online auction sites. This is all we know,
so please do not contact us for more information on this subject. Thanks for
your cooperation.
