The Hollywood Reporter reports that the Sci-Fi Channel is getting into TV's hidden-camera reality game show business with "Scare Tactics," a half-hour show hosted by "Beverly Hills, 90210" alumna Shannen Doherty to launch in the fall. The show will secretly film pranks inspired by sci-fi movies with setups that will run the gamut from haunted houses to alien abductions.

Created by Scott Hallock and Kevin Healey, who served as executive producers of NBC's summer series "Spy TV," the show is billed as a sci-fi version of "Candid Camera."
