The most shocking scene in The Creep Tapes does not involve murder

Kaneb0

The Creep Tapes is one of the best horror shows of the year, but a scene that doesn’t involve death is the show’s most memorable sequence to date.

Mark Duplass and Patrick Brice’s twisted idea, The Creep Tapes is a spinoff from the Creep films, about a serial killer who films his murders, often dressed as a deadly alter-ego “Peachfuzz”.

Duplass plays the killer in question, who seems friendly at first, if a little awkward. But then his interactions turn weird, then terrifying, before finally turning deadly.

Sections 1 and 2 of a suggested 100 Creep Tape episodes launched on Shudder last week, while the third installment was released today, and has an ending that is truly astonishing. It caused quite a stir when the episode premiered at Fantastic Party in September, so here’s what to expect, so watch out SPOILERS Forward…

The first episode of The Creep Tapes served as something of a soft reboot of the concept, with Duplass’ character luring a filmmaker to his house under the guise of recording an audition tape.

The second episode saw the character go through an existential crisis as he examines his co-dependent relationship with Peachfuzz. Which is what I will refer to him as for the rest of this piece.

Episode 3 sees him go home to mom, which is where The Creep Tapes comes in really Strange.

Peachfuzz has a body in the trunk, which is a bad way to start a family reunion. Especially since the victim isn’t quite dead yet, with Peach finishing him off while proclaiming her love for Forrest Gump.

When he gets home, Mom both films and outright scares her son, giving us a sense of his predictably strange upbringing and potential origin story. Like a soft toy called “Wolfie” that he loves.

More backstory comes when Fuzz says he struggles to make friends like his hero Forrest, because every time he tries to make a connection, it doesn’t work. For reasons the audience knows all too well.

The situation then becomes complicated when the mother’s new husband Albert arrives on the scene, who now lives in the family home.

As soon as Albert arrives, Peachfuzz reverts to her teenage self, bullies, throws tantrums and is rude by comparing their love life to 9½ weeks.

Then Albert finds the body in the boot and Peachfuzz axes him to death. That’s not the shocking scene though, since this is a Creep Tape, we’re waiting for blood to be spilled.

No, the messy moment in this Freudian nightmare comes at the end of the episode, when it becomes clear that Mom knows about Peachfuzz’s murderous ways and has no problem with his actions.

Then to calm her boy, mom offering him her breast.

Peachfuzz lies across Mom and proceeds to slide on her nipple, in a sequence that had the Fantastic Fest crowd laughing and gagging in equal measure. It’s shocking, sick, twisted stuff and a scene that will be hard to top in the show’s final three episodes.
