History Series / PanicButton

* BigRedButton: The panic button.

* NoAnimalsWereHarmed: The humans probably were, however.

!!This series provides examples of:

* XMeetsY: It's ''FearFactor'' meets, well, let's just say ''any'' recent horror movie.
** Also ''ScareTactics'', given it shares the same producer (Kevin Healey)

A Canadian RealityTV series broadcast by Space ([[{{NetworkDecay/Slipped}} Yeah, they've changed a bit]]) that strives to have ordinary people face their greatest fears. Five contestants progress through a series of levels that invoke all manner of NightmareFuel (adding insult to injury, their studio is a building in Toronto that used to be a slaughterhouse), trying to be the last person standing. The first two levels usually involve a progressing through a "course", followed by a more involved task for level 3, capped off with an endurance-based challenge. Of course, if anyone wishes to chicken out on their quest, they simply mash the BigRedButton on their suits.

And by the way, they don't even ''win'' anything

* BigRedButton: The panic button

* ManipulativeEditing: It ''feels'' like the contestants shown in each episode are competing against eachother in different areas at the same time, but they may just be separate (and tailored) runs edited together to look like its a contest. Thenagain, its not really a competition, its more of a spiritual journey
* {{Squick}}: Deliberately invoked, because why not? One task involved taking jewelry and accessories off of ''carcasses in body bags''
* XMeetsY: Its ''FearFactor'' meets, well, let's just say ''any'' recent horror movie.

* GameShowHost: Completely averted. The only voices you'll hear throughout an episode are the P.A. announcer and the contestants (either during their journey, or via the ConfessionCam)

* ManipulativeEditing: It ''feels'' like the contestants shown in each episode are competing against eachother in different areas at the same time, but they may just be separate (and tailored) runs edited together to look like its a contest. The aforementioned lack of prizes may be a side effect of this process.

* TheVoice: A British woman's voice over a PA system relays instructions. Aside from her, there is absolutely ''no'' host. At all.

* ConfessionCam: With analysis of their experience.
* GameShowHost: Completely averted. Beyond the P.A. system which gives the instructions, there is no host, no narrator, or anything; they just let the contestants "speak" for themselves.
