One of the many treats headed our way on Friday the 13th is the new Peacock series “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams,” an unscripted series that features an episode directed by Carpenter himself. The horror anthology series premieres October 13 on Peacock, and it’s said to be “from the mind of legendary director, writer, and producer, John Carpenter.”
Peacock previews, “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.”
John Carpenter directs one episode in the six-episode series, which is titled “Phone Stalker,” alongside showrunner Jordan Roberts, Michelle Latimer, and Jan Pavlacky.
Carpenter hasn’t directed a film since 2010’s The Ward, so it’s pretty special to see him back in the director’s chair. Watch an exclusive behind the scenes sneak peek below, which comes courtesy of Storm King Productions, with Footage Shot and Edited by Antwan R. Johnson.
The show’s theme music is also composed by John Carpenter!
