Scott Hallock co-created Scare Tactics with Kevin Healey for Syfy in 2002. When they parted ways in 2016, Hallock alleges that Healey signed the rights to Scare Tactics over to him. Hallock's lawsuit accuses Healey of using “specifically identifiable” stories from Scare Tactics on Prank Encounters, which dropped on Netflix on Oct. 25. Netflix is not named in the lawsuit.
