I received an email survey from Sony today looking for my feedback on an exciting new game show concept. It was "Hellevator," which was mentioned at GSN upfronts. Survey said it's from "the twisted minds behind the Paranormal Activity movies," and will have two "comedic masterminds" pulling strings. When asked for comment, I said Paranormal Activity blew and I suspect the masterminds will be more annoying than "comedic."
The game is played by three friends who, one at a time, get out of the elevator onto a floor of a "haunted warehouse" where they must perform some task for prize money. If the player runs out of time, the elevator moves on without him.
