First Look! Lifetime Explores the Dangers of 'The Choking Game'

It's a game that 1 in 16 kids have tried, 86% of parents have never heard of it, and 1,000 kids die from it every year.

It's called the choking game, and "playing" involves strangling oneself to cut off oxygen to the brain... all to get high.

This Saturday, Lifetime will air an original TV movie, "The Choking Game," about the deadly game, based on Diana Lopez's novel "Choke," starring "Hemlock Grove's" Freya Tingley.

"Extra" has your first look at the trailer, watch!

"The Choking Game" premieres on Saturday, July 26 at 8 PM on Lifetime.
