Based on its ugly appearance, poor functionality, and hideous design choices, one house will be crowned the &#8220;ugliest house in America&#8221; by HGTV and receive a stunning $150,000 renovation by network star Alison Victoria. The new season will premiere in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Attracting more than 8.3 million viewers to its freshman season, <em>Scariest House in America<\/em> will return with six new episodes spotlighting spine-tingling elements to embrace the spirit of Halloween. Retta will tour eerie and terrifying houses through the Midwest, Northeast, and South that owners say are haunted by scary stories and hair-raising sights. She&#8217;ll offer hilariously unfiltered views about each home&#8217;s scary appearance, bad function, and fright factor. The home deemed the &#8220;scariest&#8221; of them all will also get a renovation revival by designer Alison Victoria. Season two of <em>Scariest House in America<\/em> is slated to premiere in September.<\/p>\n<p>Fans can binge-watch past seasons of both series on Max\u00ae and discovery+.
