ACTRESS AND COMEDIAN RETTA HUNTS FOR SPINE-TINGLING HOMES IN NEW HGTV SERIES 'SCARIEST HOUSE IN AMERICA" PREMIERING FRIDAY, OCT. 4, AT 9 PM ET/PT

HGTV Designer Alison Victoria To Plan $150,000 Renovation For Scariest Home

New York [Aug. 29, 2024] Retta, star of hit HGTV series Ugliest House in America, will check out the scary instead of the ugly when she hunts for the spookiest properties in Scariest House in America. Premiering on HGTV Friday, Oct. 4, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the new series will feature a former jail inhabited by bats, an alleged mobster hideout and a crumbling home that gives off witchy vibes. Retta, a comedian, actress and home design enthusiast, will tour nine eerie and terrifying houses through the Midwest, Northeast and South that have everything from built-in death traps and questionable taxidermy to daunting basements and ghost sightings.

Retta will share hilariously unfiltered views about each home's scary appearance, bad function and fright factor. HGTV will deem one house the "scariest" of them all and award the homeowners a $150,000 renovation by popular network designer Alison Victoria.

"I did not see this iteration of this show coming," said Retta. "I was cool with the summer road trip and ugly in paradise, but, for a gal that is spooked by every creak, critter and errant hair that brushes my shoulder, this wasn't it. Glad I got through it, but I won't lie and say I 'enjoyed' it."
