The Creep Tapes Co-Creator Mark Duplass Wants to Play Peachfuzz Until He Dies (Exclusive)

As a die-hard fan of both horror and unique character developments, I can hardly contain my excitement for Mark Duplass’ return as the enigmatic Peachfuzz in “The Creep Tapes.” Ever since the chilling blend of humor and horror that was “Creep” graced our screens back in 2014, I’ve been on the edge of my seat, eagerly awaiting Duplass’ next foray into the mind of this twisted character.


In 2014, Mark Duplass first appeared as the peculiar character “Peachfuzz” in the movie “Creep“. Co-created with director Patrick Brice, this film combined elements of horror and humor to spawn its sequel, “Creep 2“, in 2017. For years, fans have speculated about the future of the character, and now, the six-episode series “The Creep Tapes” is set to premiere on Shudder in November. Interestingly, Duplass hinted that he may continue playing this creepy character as long as he’s alive. Prior to the premiere of “The Creep Tapes ” on November 15th, fans can check out the new series “Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal“, produced by Duplass and currently streaming on Hulu.

In a conversation with ComicBook about Out There, when asked if The Creep Tapes represents the end of Peachfuzz’s journey, Duplass hinted mysteriously, “Oh, wouldn’t that be intriguing to discover? This is the character I cherish playing, and if there are ways for me to continue playing him until the end, I certainly will.

In a different wording: The first movie, titled Creep, made its debut at the 2014 South by Southwest Film Festival. It tells the story of a character (Duplass) who employed a cameraman (Brice) to record his daily life, pretending that the footage was intended for his unborn child since he was terminally ill. As they delved deeper into their journey, strange actions began to surface, such as the man wearing a wolf mask and referring to himself as Peachfuzz. Viewers were left pondering whether this man was just socially awkward or harbored malicious intentions throughout the movie, but ultimately discovered how dangerous he truly was. In Creep 2, another unexpected cameraperson encountered Peachfuzz.

“The Creep Tapes” is described by Shudder as a series where creators Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice delve deeper into the disturbed mind of a solitary serial killer. He tricks videographers with job offers to document his life, but what they capture on tape reveals his suspicious intentions and they soon realize they may have walked into a deadly trap.

In a similar fashion, the Duplass-produced Hulu series “Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal” merges different categories by employing the realm of the supernatural to explore genuine incidents.

The TV series, “Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal“, delves into eight authentic crime cases involving chilling encounters with the supernatural realm. It provides eyewitness accounts, expert insights, and fresh investigations to unravel the mysteries. In each instance, a persistent suspicion arises: there may be something inexplicable at work. The comprehensive probes take us to various towns and cities across North America where we converse with individuals who have firsthand experiences and detailed accounts of the extraordinary, otherworldly incidents that irrevocably altered their lives. A six-year-old boy vanishes in the Smoky Mountains, presumed taken by a mythical ape-like creature. An alleged UFO crash in Long Island leads to an assassination attempt and reveals a vast political conspiracy. An occult coven of Satanic witches is suspected in a longstanding New Jersey murder. Solitary ghosts in San Francisco’s Chinatown are said to menace the lives of the unmarried. In these narratives and others, “Out There” follows up on new leads and discovers previously undiscovered evidence amid a complex web of turns and surprises. Eventually, the investigations reveal fresh truths – about the influence of mythology, the fascination with the supernatural, and the monsters that lurk among us.

On November 15th, “The Creep Tapes” makes its premiere on Shudder. Meanwhile, you can stream all episodes of “Out There: Crimes of the Supernatural” on Hulu.
