The ‘Scariest House‘ Will Receive a $150,000 Renovation by Star HGTV Designer Alison Victoria
The search for the country’s most spine-tingling properties will continue when Retta, star of HGTV’s Ugliest House in America, returns for six new episodes of the popular spinoff Scariest House in America on Friday, September 19, @ 9PM ET/PT. The series will follow actress, comedian, and home design enthusiast Retta as she travels the U.S. to tour 15 more petrifyingly paranormal or horrifically hideous houses whose owners say are haunted by scary stories and hair-raising sights. This season, the frightening finds will include a former funeral home with a basement morgue, a house situated on a graveyard, and a property that resembles a witch’s hat – all where spooky shadows lurk, lights flicker, and strange noises abound.
In each episode, Retta will share hilariously unfiltered views about each home’s scary appearance, un-livability and fright factor. HGTV will ultimately deem one house the “scariest” of them all and award the homeowners a $150,000 renovation by popular network designer Alison Victoria in a one-hour season finale.
“(sigh) What can I say?,” said Retta. “We’re back hunting down scary houses. Another season of uneasy sleep for yours truly. I hope you all enjoy!”
The September 19 season premiere will highlight eerie homes in the East, from a centuries-old, ghost-filled Maryland estate, to a historic haunted house in Connecticut with a creepy attic and an 1800s Georgia jail offering unexplained sights and sounds.
