Patrick Brice on 'The Creep Tapes' Season 3
Frightday
Patrick Brice returns to Frightday to talk "The Creep Tapes" Season 3, twelve and a half years after Creep premiered at SXSW and turned Mark Duplass's Peachfuzz into an unlikely horror icon.

The through-line is fear, and what to do with it. Lisa's refrain, "you don't prepare someone for...
