YOU'LL SHRIEK WITH LAUGHTER AS ABC FAMILY PRESENTS TWO NIGHTS OF "FREAK OUT," TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21 AND WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22 AT 9PM ET/PT

Funny, Scary Hidden-Camera Prank Show Airs as Part of ABC Family's "13 Nights of Halloween"

Jonathan Sadowski ("Young & Hungry") Drops By to Assist in a Prank

Burbank, CA (September 26, 2014) - ABC Family scares up some fun frights with the all-new Halloween specials "Freak Out," airing Tuesday, October 21st and Wednesday, October 22nd at 9pm ET/PT. The two one-hour specials, from SallyAnn Salsano's 495 Productions, will air during the network's beloved programming event "13 Nights of Halloween."

Each episode of "Freak Out" will feature an unsuspecting mark, whose worst fears come to life before their eyes through elaborate special effects, intricate makeup, twisted actors and multiple cameras capturing the scenario from every angle. Every frighteningly hilarious prank is tailored with the help from the victim's friends and family to turn an everyday situation into someone's nightmare. Viewers will find themselves "sclaughing" (screaming and laughing) over the mark's reaction, until the victim realizes that they've been pranked.

Some of the pranks included on Night #1 (Tuesday, October 21st): A girl loses more than her mind when her hair starts falling out at a salon. Later, a party guest gets the shock of her life as the pool party goes horribly wrong. Plus, a pregnant nail technician's "baby" tries to claw its way out of her stomach, and a dinner party gets stalked by a crazed killer.

Night #2 (Wednesday, October 22nd) will feature such frights as the following: A girl drops by to visit a sick patient - only to realize the woman is possessed. Also, Jonathan Sadowski (ABC Family's "Young & Hungry") helps pull off a prank at a restaurant where a fired waiter comes back to exact supernatural revenge. Plus, a guy gets the creeps over a woman with a swollen stomach full of live cockroaches.
