Six New ‘Creep’ Tapes For Shudder’s Peachfuzz Horror Series

It’s been a whole decade since Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass introduced us to Josef, or as he is better known, Peachfuzz in their film Creep. The found footage film was popular and even spawned a sequel in 2017. Now Shudder will air The Creep Tapes, an anthology series based in that universe.

The first film is almost entirely improvised and took five days to make. Using prompts from a five-page outline, the actors progressed the story using their own words. The story follows Josef as he grooms, and then kills, documentary filmmakers recording his life.

In the first film, we see a shot of Josef’s closet in which several tapes are lined up on a shelf. Each tape has a different name presumably those of all his victims. In Shudder’s The Creep Tapes, we get six stories, each a tale of the person on the label and how they met their demise.

The franchise was supposed to contain three feature-length films, and there was even an announcement in 2017 that Creep 3 was being made. However, that film never materialized and the new Shudder show is technically the series’ chronological successor.

The Creep Tapes will debut on Shudder starting November 15.
