Also worthy of mention, I think is [Series 7](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0251031/). Film about a reality TV show where the contenders hunt and kill eachother for cash.

_Slave Girls from Beyond Infinity_ (1987) was essentially this same plot, except with scantily attired women instead of men as the prey.

And I just remembered the pilot movie for the television series, _Fantasy Island_, had one storyline where a couple was being hunted (ironically it was one of the victim’s fantasies).

I vaguely remember a fairly old story, god knows where. Does anyone have any idea if Poe wrote something along these lines? G\*d, my memory is so far gone…

How about [The 10[sup]th[/sup] Victim ?](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059095/) . Based on a Robert Sheckley story.

Even the Zodiac killer got in on this one. From his encrypted letter:

From what I heard he quit, since he was playing the Predator. Not exactly a lot of face time in that role…
