Is JC just a producer? Not really from "his mind" if they are just re-enacted Unsolved Mysteries or something based on people's stories? :D
No he directed it... but remotely from home.
Via The Prague Reporter, the director told the audience, "I just finished directing, remotely, a TV series called Suburban Screams – John Carpenter's Suburban Screams." He finished up by saying, "It was filmed in Prague, and I sat on my couch and directed it.
I already knew this.
The more important question though is whether he's doing the music with his sons. Is he?
Ha, never ever thought we'd get more Carpenter.
He probably directed it while playing games on his couch.

hahaha, yeah thought he said he's retired and couldn't see him going out there to do any more directing :D That sounds like he was a remote assistant director, watching over the main camera feed monitor on stream while someon else was on set.
lol i'll watch this, but you'll forgive me if this doesn't fill me with confidence
Misread that as John Carpenter's Suburban Commando and got wildly hyped for something I didn't know I wanted.
John Carpenter remaking all of the old Hulk Hogan movies from the 90s would truly be art on a level that I could never be prepared for.
"Police fielded 50 reports of an enormous man in a pink tutu!" "They called him... Mr. Nanny."
legend
dude was playing fallout 76 and was like "i'm not getting up, but i'll zoom in for ya"
Lol.
I love that Carpenter is so upfront about this kind of stuff. The man just wants to stay home, play video games, and get high with Kurt Russell.
Guarrantee there are multiple things you watched these past two years that you enjoyed that were directed remotely.
COVID changed the industry.
It's not ideal of course - actors and directors should interact in physical space - but you can get "you'll never know the difference" results if everyone just instantly clicks with the needs of each scene.
I wonder if he even bothered to pause his game to give his directions?
Directing from home sounds like a very John Carpenter thing to do. Probably high, watching sports, and playing a videogame at the same time. Not that I blame him, I'd do same thing if I was in his position.
Now that's scary...

After watching the first episode I have a hard time accepting that it's a "true crime" show. It's hard to research that case but I really find it hard to believe events played out the way the story unfolds.
That could be a lot of true crime shows. I know the recent Unsolved Mysteries reboot on Netflix got flack for really misrepresenting several of the stories they covered. That said this just sounds mediocre all around.
Well you have a good point and like you said it really doesn't help that the episode is very boring.
Hey now! He is also still sitting in the studio working on new jams once in awhile! :D

Watched a bit and still watching.
Typical stuff you will see on Travel Channel or Discovery like A Haunting and that kind of thing.
Better produced maybe, Carpenter only does a quick voice over at the start.
Perfect for the season if nothing else.
