A new series is coming to Peacock that should be at the top of your “must-see” list: “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams!”
The new six-episode series will explore terrifying true tales of terror that took place in seemingly perfect American hometowns. 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.
Ahead of its premiere, I sat down with the showrunner, director, and executive producer Jordan Roberts, known for his involvement in series like “Haunted.” Roberts directed the true-crime episode “A Killer Comes Home,” which tells of a serial killer who stalks a town. Here’s what Roberts had to say about “Suburban Screams” and what it took to tell the story of this killer.
Be sure to watch “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams,” premiering on Friday, October 13th, 2023, a day that couldn’t have been more perfect.
