Mark Duplass Teases The Backrooms Movie & Explains Why Creep Tapes Is an Uncancellable Show

Back in 2023, A24 and James Wan's Atomic Monster joined forces to adapt one of the internet's biggest horror sensations to the big screen — The Backrooms. Created by Kane Parsons, better known online as Kane Pixels, and based on a viral creepypasta, the web series blew up on YouTube with its horrifying depiction of the titular maze-like complex beyond the bounds of reality that's full of anomalies and under the microscope of a research institute trying to understand its mysteries. Nearly three years after the announcement of the feature film, production has since wrapped, and one of its stars, Mark Duplass, has a lot of praise for the young director. In an interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff for The Creep Tapes Season 2 at Fantastic Fest, he gushed about working with Parsons and the exciting story he has planned for his theatrical debut.

While everyone waits for the sci-fi horror of The Backrooms to no-clip into theaters, Duplass will be re-entering the horror ring himself on November 14 with The Creep Tapes Season 2. He and Brice reunited to pen six new episodes delving deeper into the VHS collection of the socially awkward serial killer, Peachfuzz. As each episode unfolds, the murderer's intentions slowly become apparent to the victims through his odd behavior, prompting a horrific realization that they've made a fatal mistake. Joining Duplass will be a murderer's row of guests this time, including horror favorites like Late Night With the Devil's David Dastmalchian and Mike Flanagan regular Robert Longstreet, alongside Katie Aselton, Diego Josef, Desean Terry, Alec Bewkes, Linas Phillips, Taylor Garron, Timm Sharp, Jody Lambert, and Jeff Man.

Season 2 of The Creep Tapes will premiere on Shudder as part of the Season of Screams event, capping off the horror streamer's tenth anniversary. The Backrooms, meanwhile, has yet to receive an official release date. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on both projects as they draw closer.
