To leave The Bunker, the celebrities must simply shout \u201cI\u2019m Scared of the Dark!\u201d and they will be escorted into the light.<\/p> \u00a0<\/p>\n During the competition, each of the celebrities will take on a series of challenges designed to test either their primal fear of total darkness or their ability to function in the pitch black.
