This Halloween, Reese's and Neil Patrick Harris are teaming up to launch It's A LIVE, a real-time and interactive online haunted house hosted on [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lexi-ai) Live. As of the first of October, fans have been invited to determine what kinds of tricks and treats will go into each room of It's A LIVE and come back to watch on October 24th to see how the experience plays out with the invited guests.

A few lucky fans will be asked to experience the [crowdsourced haunted house experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/welchs-fruit-snacks-1) for themselves and in all, viewers will get to determine the fate of the 32 specially selected participants. Reese's asks fans: "Will it be a deliciously, abundant dreamland of [peanut butter and chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deconstructed-peanut-butter-cup-kit) or a daunting, close-your-eyes-and-get-through-it-as-fast-as-you-can experience that would make the strongest faint?"
