Welcome, welcome, welcome to TICKLED TO DEATH! The horror movie game show where the screams are fake, but the laughs are real. Roz Hernandez takes us deep into the chilling world of Stephen King. From the haunted halls of The Shining to Carrie’s bloody prom, IT’s sewer-dwelling Pennywise, and the cursed ground of Pet Sematary, our guests battle through trivia and ridiculous games to see who will survive as the Final Ghoul. Joining the madness are critic BJ Colangelo (This Ends at Prom), filmmaker Michael Varrati (Midnight Mass), and actor Sarah Seeds, ready to test their King knowledge and their nerves. It’s a mix of spooky trivia, unhinged improv, and a whole lot of laughs. Don’t get tickled to death. Hosted by comedian and horror fanatic Roz Hernandez (Ghosted!, Hulu’s Living for the Dead), Tickled to Death is the comedy game show that mixes scary movie trivia with off-the-wall improv and ridiculous challenges. Each week, Roz and a rotating cast of actors, comedians, and horror experts dive into iconic horror movies and cult classics, competing to see who will survive as the Final Ghoul.

In the New Jersey Pine Barrens, where the trees grow dense and the roads give way to tangled wilderness, something stirs. The locals say you can hear it on the coldest nights—a high-pitched shriek, something not quite human, not quite beast. The stories go back centuries. Some say it was a curse, an omen of misfortune that slithered into this world on a storm-wracked night. Others claim it was the child of a mother who, in her desperation or her rage, called upon the Devil himself. The details shift with time, but the warning remains the same: stay out of the pines after dark. Because if you listen closely, past the rustling leaves and the distant howl of the wind, you might just hear the beat of leathery wings. And by then, it’s already too late.
