Destination Fear, as the name implies, is a part Paranormal Investigation show, part traveling show that premiered on the Travel Channel in October of 2019. The show revolves around the DF crew, consisting of Dakota Laden (prior Ghost Adventures guest investigator/cameraman), his sister Chelsea Laden, childhood friend Tanner Wiseman, and close friend and cameraman Alex Schroeder, taking road trips around the country to some of America's most haunted locations with a catch, being Dakota (and once a road trip everyone else picks one) only knowing the locations to try to instill a sense of fear in the team. During investigations, they also split up and sleep in the most active locations, or the scariest locations in their investigation.Destination Fear premiered to positive reception and feedback, due to the difference of how they approach their paranormal investigations compared to their contemporaries, and due to a huge amount of positive feedback from fans, the show was greenlit for more seasons (or road trips, as Dakota and the DF would prefer it to be called).After 4 seasons, the show was cancelled by the Travel Channel and Discovery Channel, however, in its stead, Dakota, Chelsea, Tanner, and Alex have all announced that the show will continue under a new name on YouTube, Project Fear. Unshackled from chains, the Fear team hopes to expand on what has begun on their time with Trail to Terror and Destination Fear, and experiment with new ideas, explore new boundaries, and even include guest stars and occasionally fans in their overnights. The first "road trip" of the new adventure is stated to begin in April 2023, with the first official episodes being slated to upload in June/July, with at least 7 "road trips" (5 domestic, 2 international) confirmed on their Kickstarter page due to reaching stretch goals.

Heroic BSoD: So far has happened to everyone in the group. Dakota at the Sheboygan County Asylum, Alex at Hill View Manor, Chelsea at the Randolph County Infirmary, and Tanner at Rolling Hills Asylum (with regards to potentially encountering the ghost of Roy, before his realization that running into something bigger but not understanding them was hampering his fear of that.)

Tempting Fate: Some of Dakota's "ideas" do tend to backfire somewhat, and also regarding where they consider creepy and scary but didn't get substantial activity during the walkthrough. Case in point when at the Sheboygan County Asylum, he draws the area in the building considered the least scariest out of the four due to not really having activity, only to have some poltergeist activity startle him and cause the camera focusing on him to break.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: As pointed out by Dakota and the others during a vlog on Twitter, they pointed out that they hid a rubber duck in every episode, due to it being a memento of a place they investigated during their filming of Trails of Terror.

comment
Let's Split Up, Gang!: A defining part of their investigation, where they split up and sleep in the most active areas of the location. Done in a unique way in Season 3 by having Dakota/Chelsea and Alex/Tanner be split up between two different locations believed to be related to the Villisca Axe Murders, due to a theory that the Malvern Manor, while still in operation as a hotel, was used as a night stop by the murderer at Villisca, due to being connected by the train tracks to both locations

Slice of Life: Before they get informed of where they are going, Dakota or whoever picks the location usually chooses somewhere nearby for the DF crew to have fun at, challenge their fears, or do a warm up investigation before their actual location, which again, depends on episode.

Do Not Attempt: Dakota and the DF point out a main reason that they did not investigate one building too closely at the Old Crow Distillery is because the floor is quite literally giving out and the roof is partially collapsed in.

Continuity Nod: Due to the nature of their investigations, they will reference previous investigations if they are on the same leg of their road trips, or if they happen to be very close by, with the DF crew driving by the Statler Hotel in Buffalo before they go to the Rolling Hills Asylum.

Mood Whiplash: At the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, Alex and Chelsea are trying to make contact with a spirit who was brutally murdered by his roommates, it responds on the ovilus by saying "story", and immediately after, Alex's phone starts ringing, revealing Tanner calling, only to answer and be greeted with voices that sounds inhuman, not to mention Alex radioing Tanner and Dakota to ask if he has his phone, only to find out it was left at the gear room dead.

comment
Lighter and Softer: Compared to Ghost Adventures, where they primarily look to help people that are being affected extremely negatively, Dakota and the DF try to actively avoid dark/demonic locations due to not wanting to take on a personal risk when they separate at night, and are genuinely shocked if a location turns out to be more sinister than anticipated.

Rotating Protagonist: Dakota picks the majority of the locations, but once a road trip (starting in Season 2), Chelsea, Tanner, and Alex get to pick one location, so dependent on who picks the location, they usually take the protagonist/leader role for the investigation.

The Dog Bites Back
 Destination Fear 2019 / int_fb3576b2
comment
The Dog Bites Back: Multiple times: Whenever Chelsea's or Tanner's location is the next stop, Dakota is usually who they target with their choice to test him, with the recurring location being a prison or a hospital. (So far, Yorktown Hospital and Joliet Prison for Chelsea, and Montana State Prison and the Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum for Tanner) In the Idaho State Penitentiary episode, which was Alex's pick, he twisted the rules to his benefit, namely locking Dakota up in an isolation cell, taking the crew ziplining through the Rocky Mountains, and forcing everyone to sleep where he wanted them to sleep while he slept in the least active area of the prison. The others don't complain too much about this, considering that he has been through a lot worse despite not being one of the main investigators of the group (witnessing a door opening by itself at the Fairfield County Infirmary and being extremely affected by an entity at Hill View Manor to the point where he began vomiting violently).
