‘Scare PewDiePie’ is YouTube Red’s exclusive reality show

SAN FRANCISCO — Fans of PewDiePie enjoy watching the Let’s Play YouTube star crapping his pants playing horror games, but what about when he is thrown into a real-life horror environment?

During the YouTube Red announcement this morning, YouTube global head of operations Susanne Daniels announced, Scare PewDiePie. The premise of the YouTube exclusive is part-reality show, part-prank show. A camera crew will follow PewDiePie as he explores specially designed sets that are inspired by the various horror video games he plays.
