About this show

Developed in part by Ashton Kutcher, this reality series, a journey through the weird world of illusions, observes how "average" people react when their environment takes on a supernatural or otherworldly character. Unsuspecting subjects are thrust into the middle of real-life horror movies unfolding right before their eyes. Some of the situations they encounter are dead people rising from their graves and electrifying salon encounters. The show is named for the room at Detroit's Grace Hospital in which Harry Houdini died in 1926. "Supernatural" co-star Jared Padalecki hosts.
