Just when you thought October’s Friday the 13th dance card reached max capacity with Halloween offerings, horror master John Carpenter ensures there’s always room for more with upcoming Peacock series “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams.”
The unscripted series premieres October 13 on Peacock and stems from the mind of legendary horror director, writer, and producer, John Carpenter.
The series is described as “a genre-busting unscripted horror anthology series from the mind of legendary director, writer, and producer, John Carpenter. The series explores the dark secrets and unspeakable evil that sometimes lurks beneath the surface of the sun-drenched streets, manicured lawns and friendly neighbors of suburbia. Each episode focuses on one true tale of terror, told by the real people who lived through it. Their firsthand accounts are brought to life through premium cinematic scene-work, news clips, home photos, and archival footage, combining the visual language of horror films with the tools and techniques of documentaries, creating a uniquely frightening experience for viewers.”
“Each episode will delve into the monstrous evil that lurks beneath the surface of friendly suburbia through the lens of one frightful tale. In addition to firsthand accounts, the episodes will include cinematic reenactments, personal archives, and historic town press coverage.”
The horror master directs one episode in the six-episode series alongside showrunner Jordan Roberts, Michelle Latimer, and Jan Pavlacky.
Carpenter also composes the series’ theme music.
“John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams” is produced by Storm King Productions and DIGA Studios. Executive producers include John Carpenter, Sandy King, Tony DiSanto, Jordan Roberts, Patrick Smith and Andy Portnoy.
October’s Friday the 13th and its densely packed slate of horror releases ensure we may not sleep that weekend, but we’re ok with that if it means the return of John Carpenter in the director’s seat, even for one episode.
Don’t miss the six-episode series when it debuts on Peacock next month.
