Creep (franchise)
The Creep franchise is a found footage satirical psychological horror series consisting of two streaming exclusive and video on demand feature films and a television series. Starring and created by Patrick Brice and Mark Duplass, the series centers around a serial killer who regularly posts listings for one-time videography job assistance, to lure in his victims; after which he saves their created video in his personal vault and assumes their name as an alias.
The movies which were created with a shoe-string budget and released in collaboration with Netflix. The first installment has since been called a horror cult classic. Its sequel was similarly praised. The television series has been mostly well-received and considered a fitting expansion of the films.
A videographer named Aaron responds to a request on Craigslist for one-day freelance project, requested by a man named Josef. The latter is suffering from terminal cancer, and states that he wishes to document his last days for his pregnant wife and the baby who is soon to be born. Collaborating in a remote location within the mountains the pair experience a friendly exchange. Aaron does his best to capture Josef's request, but witnesses some strange behavior in the process. Ignoring these idiosyncrasies at first, Aaron soon realizes that Josef fabricated his story to lure in an unsuspecting victim for his murderous plans. Realizing the truth, he must fight for survival by escaping the isolated location and Josef's ill-intentions.
Aaron, a notorious serial killer who has taken on his alias from his favorite victim Aaron, finds himself dissatisfied with his recent murders and determines to try something different. Through another online job-for-hire advertisement, he lures a YouTube journalist named Sara to a remote cabin. Upon her arrival, he admits to previous murders and states that he wants to document his confessions on camera. To his surprise, Sara doubts his story but takes on the project. Explaining that she believes the experience will increase the followers of her unsuccessful web series where she details encounters with eccentric men she meets online, the pair begin their experience together. Throughout the day Josef / "Aaron" begins his usual tactics by attempting to horrify Sara, but repeatedly fails to have any impact. After staging his own hanging, "Aaron" explains his admiration for her, and the pair begin to fall in love.
In June 2015, in collaboration Blum, Brice, and Duplass stated that there would be various "stories of Creep". In October 2017, Duplass confirmed that there were discussions ongoing for additional installments; pointing to the scene at the end of the first movie where the audience is shown the killer's collection of videos about each of his victims, stating: "I want to see each and every one of those tapes." Later that month, he also stated that creatives may repurpose some of the stories that were created during the process of writing Creep 2. In a separate interview, the writer/producer/actor stated that the creatives involved are interested in creating a prequel, which would vaguely detail how Josef became a serial killer; while also stating that there will be a projects that explore the various victims teased at the end of the first film. That same month, Brice stated that one of the concepts that was explored for Creep 2 included the revelation that Josef is the leader of a cult group, while acknowledging the possibility of this abandoned plot-point being revisited.
In November 2017, Brice stated that the realization of a third movie, exploring Josef's and Sara's reunion and further love story, depends on the success of Creep 2. By March 2020, Duplass confirmed that a third movie is in development. Recalling that he and Brice both felt like the second movie wasn't as good as they had wanted it to be, he stated that the current script has been written twice because they want to ensure the story is worth telling. In January 2024, Brice stated that while writing for a third film is ongoing, he and Duplass had been busy with their various respective production schedules. While discussing the plans for additional installments, the filmmaker confirmed that Josef's troubled childhood including the character's creation of the wolf-masked alias referred to as "Peachfuzz" would be explored. By September of the same year, Duplass expressed interest in portraying the titular villain for years to come, while acknowledging that there are plans for additional stories following the events of The Creep Tapes.
In October 2025, Patrick Brice stated that the project will be made once the television series is completed, with the eventual third movie being the end of the franchise.
In June 2024, it was announced that a six-episode Creep television series had wrapped production. Mark Duplass reprised his role as the main antagonist, in addition to writing and executive producing the series with Patrick Brice, who directed each episode. The duo explained that while they have worked on various continuations of the franchise, their own perception that the second movie was inferior to the original made them hesitant to continue until they determined the story they wanted to tell. The plot of each episode depicts one of Josef's previous victims, through the video recordings he saved as depicted at the end of the first film. The Creep Tapes premiered on the streaming services Shudder and AMC+ on November 15, 2024 with a two-part premiere; the series continued to air weekly on Fridays. In February 2025, the series was renewed for a second season. In October of the same year, it was renewed for a third season.
