As “Survivor” hits its 45th season this fall, CBS is building a new marketing campaign for the show inspired by its signature piece of clothing: The “Buff.” That versatile cloth that “Survivor” contestants have used as tube tops, bandanas and headbands since Season 1, will be seen at landmarks across the country over the next week, leading up to the series premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 27.
As part of the “Survivor Buff Takeover,” famous locations that will be decked out with Buffs include the Green Giant in Blue Earth, Minn.; Make Way for Ducklings in Boston; Forever Marilyn in Palm Springs, Calif.; Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in Los Angeles; Monster Monument at Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Del.; Gulfstream Park’s Pegasus and The Dragon in Hallandale Beach, Fla.; the Tuska statue at University of Alabama; and the Ralphie statue at University of Colorado, Boulder.

Travel Channel is kicking off its new “Shock Doc” programming with one of the earliest paranormal pairings. And they are having a fun time doing it. Devil’s Road: The True Story of Ed and Lorraine Warren is a jaunty ride through the lives and cases of Ed and Lorraine Warren. Told with gleefully dramatic suspense, it skips the more disconcerting aspects of their private lives and controversial claims to justify their legend. Before Ghost Hunters, Ghostbusters or even In Search Of, you couldn’t walk into a haunted house in the Northeast U.S. without bumping into the Warrens. Without them there would be no Poltergeist, no The Conjuring, not even little Anabelle would be part of public consciousness. They weren’t the first, but they cornered the mystery market.
Devil’s Road serves up the Warrens with morbid exuberance. They tease their presentation with promises of details which have never been told before.
