A Game Turns Deadly In ‘Truth Or Dare’ – Premiering This October On Syfy

Everyone has played “Truth or Dare”. But for one group of friends, the once innocent game turns deadly in Truth or Dare from director Nick Simon (Girl in the Photographs), premiering on Syfy during their annual “31 Days of Halloween”.

As the death toll mounts, the remaining players must race against the clock to outrun, outsmart and outlast the simple game of Truth or Dare.” Written by Thommy Hutson and Ethan Lawrence,
