What time is it? Tubby time! That's right folks — after seven years away, Mark Duplass' sadistic serial killer and his alter ego Peachfuzz are back. Spinning off from Patrick Brice's 2014 found footage horror Creep and its underrated 2017 follow-up Creep 2 — both of which followed Duplass' unnamed psychopathic murderer as he used Craigslist ads to lure unsuspecting victims to his isolated home — The Creep Tapes is a six-part anthology horror series set to reveal more of the wolf-mask wearing killer's gruesome home videos. Check out the trailer below:
"I want to be 100% honest with you about something," says Duplass in a classic Creep style self-tape, "I can get a little... in the moment." And to pay him his dues, he ain't lying — if of course by "in the moment" we mean dressing up as various oddball characters, luring unsuspecting videographers to your home for a grand, and then toying with them before brutally, senselessly hacking them to pieces. Which is exactly what it looks like director Patrick Brice has in store for us here based on this darkly comical first trailer for the show, which offers blood-spatter, wild eyes, wolf masks, and dodgy wigs galore — all shot on an ultra low budget, gonzo style, as is Duplass and Brice's DIY horror way.
"A little over 10 years ago, Patrick Brice and I spent a week together in my cabin with a small digital camera," said producer-star Duplass in a statement earlier today. "We emerged with a found footage horror film that was so wildly strange and uncomfortable we assumed no one would see it. To be continuing this unholy legacy in the series format is a true nightmare come true.”
And with The Creep Tapes set to debut on Shudder on 15 November, that true nightmare is about to become a reality real soon. Look out — Peachfuzz is about! Awoooooooooo!
