The genre-busting series premieres Oct 13 and stems from the mind of legendary horror director, writer, and producer, John Carpenter 

Peacock has announced John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams, a six-episode exploration of true tales of terror that took place in seemingly perfect American hometowns.  
 

The anthology series premieres on Friday, Oct 13, a date shrouded in mystery and harbinger of evil goings-on. 
 

 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, the mastermind behind classic horror films like Halloween, The Fog, and The Thing, produces alongside Sandy King, Tony DiSanto, showrunner Jordan Roberts, Patrick Smith, and Andy Portnoy. In addition to composing the series’ theme music, Carpenter also returns to the director’s chair for an episode. Other episodes are directed by Jordan Roberts, Michelle Latimer, and Jan Pavlacky.
