Get Ready to Cringe: The Creep Tapes Season 2 Hits Shudder This Fall
Brace yourselves, horror lovers—The Creep Tapes is crawling back into your nightmares this fall. Shudder has officially greenlit Season 2 of the cult-found footage horror series, featuring Mark Duplass in the chillingly ambiguous role of “Peachfuzz,” a serial killer who lures eager videographers into his twisted world. Expect new layers of dread and even more ghastly tapes when the six-episode installment premieres sometime in fall 2025.
The Creep Tapes: Found Footage, Amplified
Created by Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice, and produced for the screen by Duplass Brothers Productions in partnership with Shudder, The Creep Tapes builds on a nightmare-inducing concept: victims are invited to film a real-life documentary, only to discover they’ve volunteered for something far more sinister. Unlike slick studio horror, the series thrives on handheld camera work and awkward silences—techniques that transform everyday encounters into stomach-churning unease.
The original season shattered streaming records, debuting as the most-watched Shudder show of all time on AMC+ and becoming the strongest November release in the service’s history. Season 2 promises to double down on that twisted brilliance, pushing the limits of what “found footage” horror can do.
Darker, Weirder, More Unsettling
In an interview with AMC Networks, Mark Duplass himself has teased that the new season won’t be content with simply repeating old tricks. “The fact that so many of you watched it that Shudder not only asked us for more but asked us to go even further this time around? That’s just… really, really unsettling. And terrifically exciting,” Duplass admitted. That combination of thrill and dread sits at the very heart of The Creep Tapes: an invitation to lean closer, even when every instinct tells you to pull back.
In the same interview with AMC Networks, Patrick Brice echoed that sentiment, describing the project as “a labor of love… for such an insane franchise.” That creative freedom means more grotesque detours, more psychological games, and plenty of Peachfuzz’s unnervingly playful menace. The horror here doesn’t just jump out at you—it lingers, breathing down your neck long after the episode ends.
Why This Season Has Horror Fans on Edge
The first season introduced audiences to the unnerving idea of “confessional horror”, where the intimacy of a video diary becomes a weapon in the wrong hands. If that felt like a torch illuminating the darkest corners of psychological horror, Season 2 looks set to plow into an abyss.
Found footage thrives on intimacy, and Duplass and Brice wield that intimacy like a knife: forcing us to watch moments that feel too personal, too grotesque, too uncomfortable to be fiction. With Shudder promising that Season 2 will showcase Peachfuzz at his most bizarre and manipulative, fans should brace for stories that gnaw at the edges of sanity and leave viewers asking themselves why they couldn’t look away.
Gather your courage, shield your eyes… and get ready to cringe. The Creep Tapes Season 2 is poised to plunge deeper into your nightmares, just in time for the “Season of Screams.” Keep your camera rolling—or don’t—but whatever you do, don’t blink.
