Sandy King explores an all-new realm with the Peacock series.
Having served as a producer on films like They Live, In the Mouth of Madness, and Village of the Damned, along with her work running Storm King Comics, Sandy King knows a thing or two about how to tell a frightening story in the genre space.
Sandy King: Well, it was all under wraps, but it came to us from the production company, DIGA. They had a great idea, and we're always up for new challenges. We don't like doing the same thing all the time. The idea of this hybrid show that was scripted and unscripted combined seemed really interesting, just because we hadn't done it before.
We changed it to being survivor-based, victim-based, because the idea was, why do what's already being done where everybody focuses on the crime, focuses on the murder or that kind of thing, and that if it's already being done, why do it? We chose the stories we thought were the strongest because there was a slate of them.
I think the key there is to not make light of what their truth is, and their truth is their fact. It's what they live, and so what you have to do is respect what it is they now live with forever. If you look at what recently happened in Pennsylvania where the serial killer escaped and for two weeks essentially held that area captive and terrorized them, those people are going to live with those fears forever in some regard. Everybody else wants to think,"Oh, it's all okay.
I think, also, that Bunny Man is really successful, because basically that's a hundred-year-old legend and that had a couple of foundations in fact that grew because of parents throughout the years trying to scare their kids into coming home at night.
