In a Rolling Stone interview with executive producer and director Hiro Murai (who also worked on “Atlanta” and “Barry”), he said, “We tried not to do too many things where it was a conscious homage or a pastiche. What’s so great about those original pieces, like Stephen King movies or some of these John Carpenter movies that we’re referencing, is they evoked a very visceral, raw feeling.”

He added, “We tried to reverse engineer that feeling rather than doing the aesthetic hallmarks of it. And ultimately, the premise of the show is insane horror tropes are happening to boring, normal people.”
