Aramide Tinubu From “Halloween” to “The Prince of Darkness,” after nearly five decades in the industry, legendary director John Carpenter has earned his title as a master of the horror genre. With his terrifying jump cuts and ominous musical scores, Carpenter has always had the ability to thread a sense of terror and foreboding throughout his films, making them viscerally frightening. Now, with his first-ever television project, “John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams,” the filmmaker is turning his lens on real-life evil.
These are the stories of diabolical people and spirits that hide in plain sight before they burst forth, ready to terrorize and wreak havoc on the lives of the unsuspecting. Unfortunately, instead of the sinister narratives that fans have come to expect from Carpenter, this series is a cheap display of ghastly crimes. Peacock’s six-episode anthology series opens with a narration by “The Thing” director.
Carpenter warns, “In our suburbs, evil lurks behind closed doors. True stories so terrifying because the horror is real. You’ll never look at your neighbors the same way again.” From there, each chapter unpacks an incident or urban myth that has rocked an individual or group to its core.
The premiere episode, “Kelly,” is set in the 1990s and revolves around a young man named Dan, living in Ontario, Canada, who begins having visions of a dead girl named Kelly after using an Ouija board. Dan’s fixation on Kelly and what happened to her drives him to the brink of his sanity. Set in the 1970s, Episode 4, titled “Bunny Man,” focuses on the town of Fairfax, Virginia.

The Sun.“Until they figure out how to eliminate scarring — and I’m talking plastic surgery and anything else — no knife is coming near me.”Instead, the Buffalo native relies on luxury Retrouvé moisturizers, cleansers and serums — namely, the $240 Baume Ultime BodyOil — and the skill of needle-wielding celebrity dermatologist Dr. Wendy Roberts, known as the “youth booster.”“No one knows I have it,” she said of her Botox injections, “because I look like myself, not like a replica of someone else’s style.”On the cusp of the 50th anniversary of becoming a Vogue cover girl in August 1974, Johnson maintains the same glowing complexion and commanding runway presence that launched her to superstardom and landed her on the cover of more than 500 magazines.With the supermodel’s days in the spotlight far from over — she walked for Sergio Hudson and Bibhu Mohapatra in 2022 at New York Fashion Week — it’s imperative that she sustains her toned physique and muscle strength to strut in 7-inch heels.“It’s not just walking … it’s theater, it’s dance, it’s movement,” she told Page Six last year.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Like “Testament” — the 1983 made-for-TV movie that imagined the fallout, both nuclear and psychological, after an atomic bomb is dropped on American soil — “Leave the World Behind” depicts a plausible doomsday scenario from the perspective of a handful of ordinary characters. Not military experts, not scientists, but two families obliged to shelter under the same roof out in the East Hamptons while something scary unfolds a few hours away, off-screen, in New York.
