CONTEST: PSYCH-Os Vote for One of Three Possible Season 8 Episodes. Winner Announced at Comic-Con – Updated

Update: Filming of Psych season 8 in Vancouver extended to August 23rd.

• FOOD TRUCK – When the well-known owner of a beloved Santa Barbara food truck is mysteriously murdered, Shawn and Gus, fans of delicious flavor, are determined to solve the crime as only they can. They go undercover as proprietors of the PSYCH Naptime Food Truck, and soon discover that the high-profit world of Santa Barbara’s mobile food business is cutthroat, insular and a place of many secrets – many of them worth killing for.

• TELETHON – In a classic “How-dunnit” case with a PSYCH twist, Shawn and Gus investigate a murder that Shawn is convinced was committed by the beloved host of Santa Barbara’s annual Children’s Hospital Telethon. There’s only one problem – the host was seen by hundreds of thousands of people on live television during the exact time the murder occurred elsewhere. Can Shawn steal the show, poke a hole in this rock-solid alibi, and prove the host did it?
• DREAM THERAPY – From acclaimed director, James Roday (“Mr. Yin Presents…”, “Heeeeere’s Lassie”), comes a new vision in terror: “Nightmare on State Street”! An exhausted Gus enters dream therapy to understand the cause of his recent night terrors and nothing is ever again what it seems… In dreams, no one can hear you scream… no matter how high pitched and lady-like you sound.

Dream Therapy is a close second for me. Psych does horror sight gag references so well like the pregnant woman named Rosemary (Rosemary’s Baby) and the twin old ladies, boy on a toy bicycle, chandelier dripping with blood, and labyrinth in the basement from Heeeeere’s Lassie (Timothy Omundson above).

You can vote until July 12th and the winning storyline will be announced less than a week later on Thursday, July 18th, at San Diego Comic-Con. Cary Elwes hosts the Psych panel there featuring cast James Roday, Dulé Hill,  Maggie Lawson, Timothy Omundson, Corbin Bernsen and Kirsten Nelson and showrunner Steve Franks. If that’s not enough Comic Con excitement,  check out a sneak peek of Psych’s two-hour musical episode the night before the panel. Details here.
