The show brought several innovations to the reality show genre, including:

• Having contestants film their own experience as no video crew followed them into the haunted locations.
• Use of night vision cameras.
• Making people eat items that revolted them. (common trick used on Fear Factor)
• Use of body mounted cameras to have contestants film their own close-ups.

The contestants were picked from videotaped audition tapes. In order to provide absolute secrecy about their location, the group was blindfolded and led by guides to the haunted area. They were then instructed to remove their blindfolds after a predetermined amount of time, allowing the guides to slip out unseen. The area they were taken is known as the safe house, which is an area of the haunted location where no hauntings are reported to have taken place. As the nights progress, a computer announces when a dare is assigned and the contestant who is assigned the dare. This computer also provides the group with background information about the areas and instructions for the dare. Each contestant was given the option at any time to abort the dare, but if the dare was not completed, the contestant would forfeit their share of the winnings, have to choose another contestant to do the dare, and leave the location immediately. After two nights, the contestants remaining in the game would be directed to the location of their monetary prize, and each would collect $5,000 (in the pilot episode, the survivors only received $3,000 each).

The dares themselves ranged in difficulty. While most relied on simple observation (radio silence, EMF Detector), some of the dares relied on specific re-enactments of haunting events, and a few even dabbled in occult or paranormal possession (Séance, Auto-Drawing, Spirit Channeling). For a complete list of dares, see Dares of MTV's Fear.
