GSN’s “Hellevator” Returns Tonight + Live Facebook Q&A With Jen & Sylvia Soska

Heading into its second season, the network’s horror-themed game show returns tonight at 9:00pm ET with slight changes made to the format. Every episode this season is centered around the “seven deadly sins” (pride, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, sloth, wrath) and a team of four contestants will be faced with the daunting task of traversing through three challenges for up to $10,000 and the Inferno end game for up to $40,000, all while The Twisted Twins do everything in their powers to stop them in their track. In the new Inferno round, the surviving contestants have seven minutes to search through up to seven rooms to find the key that unlocks the dungeon cell within the Inferno room that houses the captured teammates who failed to complete their respective Hellevator challenges. The only way the team can win any additional cash they accumulate during the Inferno round is if the survivors find the key to unlock the cell and rush back to the Hellevator before time expires. 

Yahoo! TV Previews First 12 Minutes of GSN’s “Hellevator”

Within the next couple of weeks, GSN will debut its new horror-themed game show, Hellevator, with hosts Jen and Sylvia Soska (a.k.a.: The "Twisted Twins”). In each episode, a team of three friends will have a chance to win up to $50,000 by stepping onto a haunted elevator and facing the frightening and daunting task of navigating through the various levels in the game’s slaughterhouse while the Soska sisters serve as the show's masterminds and watch the action from the control room. One contestant must exit the hellevator on each floor and complete a challenge by themselves to earn money for their bank before the hellevator closes and abandons them on the level. In this sneak preview, courtesy of Yahoo! TV, we see contestants Richard, Reina and Sinead entering the slaughterhouse at midnight, bracing themselves for the horrors that await them inside. Check out the first challenge in the clip below and stay tuned for the series premiere of Hellevator October 21 at 8:00pm ET on GSN!
