It's been over a decade since Patrick Brice's Creep first introduced us to the unsettling charm of Mark Duplass's Peachfuzz, and the franchise has only grown more twisted with time. Now, the found-footage phenomenon is back with The Creep Tapes Season 3, and we've got an exclusive first look at the carnage to come.
The new trailer, which you can watch above, promises a fresh wave of unsuspecting victims who cross paths with the wolf-masked killer. This season, Duplass is joined by a stellar lineup, including Kate Siegel (The Haunting of Hill House), Nic Hamilton (It), Elliott Fullam, and even Duplass's own daughter, Ora Duplass. The official synopsis teases: "Season 3 continues to expose a collection of videotapes from the secret vault of the world's deadliest and most socially uncomfortable serial killer. Unfortunately, as the tape rolls, the killer's questionable intentions surface with his increasingly odd behavior, and the victims will learn they may have made a deadly mistake."
What makes The Creep Tapes so compelling is its ability to keep the formula fresh. Each episode drops us into a new encounter, and the tension comes from watching Peachfuzz's victims slowly realize they're in over their heads. This time, however, some of them are fighting back. The trailer shows Siegel screaming directly into the lens, Hamilton desperately trying to survive, and a palpable sense of dread that fans of the series have come to love.
The blend of horror and comedy has always been the franchise's secret weapon. Duplass's comedic background infuses Peachfuzz with an unsettling charm—you're never quite sure if he's genuinely dangerous or just socially awkward, and that ambiguity keeps you on edge. As Peachfuzz himself says in the trailer, they're turning it up this time around, and it looks like Season 3 will be a wild ride.
If you're new to the series, now is the perfect time to catch up. The first two seasons are available on streaming platforms, and the original film remains a cult classic. For those who love a good scare with a side of dark humor, The Creep Tapes is a must-watch.
Mark your calendars: The Creep Tapes Season 3 premieres September 15. Until then, you can rewatch the previous seasons and speculate about which of the new victims will make it out alive—if any. Stay tuned to ShowtimeSpot for more updates on this and other horror favorites.
