Horror fans, get ready for a new treat from the master of the genre. John Carpenter, the legendary director of classics like Halloween, The Thing, and The Fog, is bringing his unique vision to the small screen with a new unscripted horror anthology series called John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams. The series will premiere on Peacock on October 13, 2023, just in time for Halloween.
John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams will explore the true stories of horror that lurk behind the facade of America’s seemingly peaceful suburbs. Each episode will feature a first-hand account of a terrifying encounter with the evil that dwells in the shadows of your neighborhood. The series will also use dramatic reenactments, personal archives, and press coverage to bring these stories to life.
The series promises to deliver a mix of suspense, mystery, and gore that will keep you on the edge of your seat. In the trailer for the series, we see glimpses of some of the horrors that await us, such as a masked killer stalking a woman in her home, a demonic creature lurking in a basement, and a haunted doll that comes to life. The trailer also features Carpenter’s signature synth score that adds to the atmosphere of dread.
John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams is produced by Blumhouse Television and UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group. Carpenter serves as an executive producer alongside Jason Blum, Sandy King, and David Dinerstein. The series is part of Peacock’s Halloween-themed programming that will also include movies, documentaries, and specials.
