What happens when horror fandom meets the classic game show? The answer is Better Luck Than Chuck, a new six-episode horror-comedy trivia series where genre devotees put their knowledge to the ultimate test — and compete for some seriously cool prizes along the way.
Created by Meredith Tummillo and Tony Wash, Better Luck Than Chuck invites horror fans to battle it out over questions inspired by the genre’s most iconic films, unforgettable characters, and legendary moments. Equal parts spooky, hilarious, and competitive, the series puts a horror-themed spin on the familiar energy of a classic television game show.
At the center of the chaos are Alexis Allotta as The Widow and Adam Michaels as Charlie, an undead husband-and-wife hosting duo who bring their own macabre brand of humor to the competition. Together, they guide contestants through a celebration of horror history designed for fans who know their slashers, monsters, cult classics, and everything in between.
The series also boasts an impressive lineup of guest question readers from across the horror community, including Mike Flanagan, Chad Villella, Brea Grant, BJ McDonnell, Gary Sherman, Rebekah McKendry, PhD, and Anthony Cousins. Their involvement adds another layer of genre credibility to a show built squarely around a shared love of horror.
And, naturally, there are prizes.
Throughout the competition, contestants have the opportunity to win goodies supplied by some of the coolest brands in the horror world, giving fans even more incentive to prove that their encyclopedic knowledge of the genre is more than just an excuse to watch another horror movie.
Produced by Scotchworthy Productions and The Line Film Company, Better Luck Than Chuck is set to premiere September 24, with new episodes arriving every Thursday throughout its six-episode run.
Whether you’re a lifelong horror obsessive, a devoted fan of classic cinema, or simply someone who enjoys watching people sweat over increasingly difficult trivia questions, Better Luck Than Chuck promises a bloody good time this Halloween season.
The game is about to begin. The question is: Do you have what it takes to beat Chuck?
