Nginiiig! (lit. 'shivers!') is a Philippine television reality horror show broadcast by ABS-CBN. Hosted by Raymond Bagatsing, then by Jericho Rosales, and finally Hero Angeles, with Luis Manzano, Marvin Agustin, Rayver Cruz, Maja Salvador and John Wayne Sace serving as substitute hosts or guest co-hosts, it aired from March 6, 2004 to April 8, 2006, replacing Knowledge Power.

Format

The show is presented as a docudrama wherein it features real footage of paranormal stories through re-enactments based on the victims' account of the horrifying events. The victims are interviewed about the events that took place in the haunted venues and actors and actresses play them in the reconstructions. Similarly to the Undas episodes of the ABS-CBN telemagazine news program Magandang Gabi... Bayan, the haunted venues serve as studio settings for the show.
