Actress and Comedian Retta Finds More Frights in Season Three of HGTV's 'Scariest House in America' Premiering Friday, Sept. 18, at 9 p.m. ET/PT

The 'Scariest House' Will Receive A $150,000 Renovation By Star HGTV Designer Alison Victoria

WHAT: Scariest House in America

WHERE/WHEN: Season 3 premieres Friday, Sept. 18, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV.

WHO: Ugliest House in America star Retta will continue her search for the country's most spine-tingling properties in a new season of the popular spinoff Scariest House in America. This season will now feature six one-hour episodes, up from the half-hour format in previous seasons. Attracting over 10.9 million viewers across linear and streaming to her sophomore run, the actress, comedian and home design enthusiast will brave 20 tours of petrifyingly paranormal or horrifically hideous houses whose owners say are haunted by scary stories and hair-raising sights. From the East to the Ozarks and New England to the Midwest, Retta will discover harrowing places like a centuries-old frightening farmhouse, an eerie former nursing home and a rotting 1800s jailer's house that abound with supernatural sites, ghostly apparitions and unearthly whispers. In each episode, Retta will share hilariously unfiltered views about each home's scary appearance, un-livability and fright factor. HGTV will ultimately deem one house the "scariest" of them all and award the homeowners a showstopping renovation by popular network designer Alison Victoria in the season finale.

In the Sept. 18 season premiere, Retta will travel to Florida, Ohio and West Virginia to find the spookiest spots, with her first stop at a foreboding concrete monstrosity riddled with creepy shadows and rattling doorknobs. Additional haunts will include a gingerbread-style cottage home to friendly ghosts, an unsettling 1920s observatory and a Victorian hotspot for paranormal activity.

Scariest House in America is produced by Big Fish Entertainment.
