ThumbCandy has debuted three new images for their new series Fright Club, a digital prank series that airs exclusively onSnapchat. The show has already aired its first two episodes on October 26 and October 28, with the third debuting today, October 30, but in honor of Halloween, all three episodes will come back from the dead on October 31, in a rare departure from Snapchat’s policy of disappearing content. The photos offer a quick glimpse at how terrified some of these unsuspecting victims are.
Fright Clubis an epic Halloweenevent serieson Snapchat Discover, which is the first ever vertical hidden camera show. This hidden camera series shows what happens when a number of unsuspecting victims are messed with in terrifying ways. One of the new episodes that launched on this channel features a number of people who are brought in to help box up a number of antique dolls, although what they don’t realize is that some of these creepy dolls actually come to life. The show is only available through the Snapchat app, which you can download below before checking out these photos.
ThumbCandy hasn’t revealed how many episodes this series will run for in its first season, or if there are plans for a second season in the works. Prank shows likeImpractical JokersandWalk the Prankare still quite popular, so it makes sense that Snapchat would try to find a way to tap into this genre for its younger audience. We even learned earlier this month thatGame of ThronesstarKit Harington pulled off an epic prankon April Fool’s Day, although his fiancee, formerGame of Thronesco-star Rose Leslie wasn’t too thrilled to find a replica version of Kit’s severed head in their fridge.
This series is part of a new wave of content that is being developed through the Snapchat Discover initiative, including ThumbCandy’sNail the Look,The Dating PoolandThe WWE Showthat delves intoWorld Wrestling Entertainment. With more and more programming airing through non-traditional methods like streaming services and YouTube, these Snapchat shows could very well represent a wave of the future. ThumbCandy also has shows likeMake Up or Break Upthat airs on Facebook,Fluffy’s Food Adventuresand another show calledMedium Rarethat will be coming soon to a mobile platform.
The Halloween holiday as a whole has become a much bigger market for new programming, with NBC debuting a highly-anticipatedDavid S. Pumpkins Halloween specialover the weekend, with Tom Hanks returning to voice his iconic title character who was first introduced in a sketch onSaturday Night Livelast October.
