Scared! (stylized as SCARED!), formerly titled as Scared on Staten Island!, is an American paranormal public-access television series that premiered on September 12, 2002 on Staten Island Community Television.[1] Produced by Core Films and Thousand Hats Productions, the program follows and stars a Staten Island-based team of urban explorers who venture into abandoned and condemned buildings in search of paranormal activity.[2] In each episode, three main members, who are collectively known as "The SCARED! Crew" and vary throughout the series, represent three points of view or beliefs: the psychic, scientist, and skeptic.[3]

Cast's work in the paranormal field

In 2009, the cast began a weekly internet radio show called Scared! on the Airwaves!, which served as an official companion to the documentary series. It coincided with their being represented by Night Management, whose client roster includes other names in the paranormal, such as Brian Harnois and Patrick Burns.[4]

The crew makes it a point to team up with other local groups when doing an investigation[5] and from time to time find themselves working with veterans in the field, such as John Zaffis and Rosemary Ellen Guiley.[6] Their reputation for working well with others has caused them to be requested to investigate places they might otherwise not have gone.[7]

Brian J. Cano and Chris Mancuso have also begun appearing at paranormal conventions to promote the show and to give their lecture on Urban Exploration called "The Urban Explorer's Backpack."[8][9] An article of the same name, written by Cano and Mancuso, in the Winter 2010 issue of Haunted Times magazine states, "There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, so be sure to know the extent on your own limitations as well as the severity of any particular situation before you proceed."[10]

Festivals and awards

The episode at the Parsonage Restaurant was featured in the 2006 Staten Island Film Festival. This year was the inaugural year for the festival.[11] The Eastern State Penitentiary episode was featured in the same festival the next year, in 2007.

In 2008, the Shanley Hotel episode won Best Editing at the Director's Chair Film Festival.[12]

The Philadelphia State Hospital episode won Best Editing and Best Local Film at the Director's Chair Film Festival in 2009.[13] The Danvers Mental Institution episode was an Official Selection the same year in the Staten Island Film Festival.
