BOO! DESTINATION AMERICA SCARES UP VIEWERS WITH MONSTER RECORD RATINGS - BEST WEEK EVER IN NETWORK HISTORY

(Silver Spring, MD) - This past week (3/31/14 - 4/6/14), Destination America tied for its Best Week Ever in Prime among HH delivery (190k), driven especially by the weekend's performance (Friday-Sunday), filled with the frightening, season-two premiere of MOUNTAIN MONSTERS and the ingenious backyard duo in HILLBILLY BLOOD's season-three finale. Friday also marked the network's best Friday night ever in key demos among P/M25-54/18-49 for HH and P2+ delivery.

By creating "hillbilly vodka" from local potatoes and heaters out of cow pies, two of HILLBILLY BLOOD's episode premieres from the third season ranked as Destination America's top-10 telecasts ever among M25-54.
