Creep Week 2021 runs from October 9 through October 17. In a previous post, I wrote about how T+E’s Creep Week is Halloween programing in Canada that’s equivalent (basically) to Travel Channel’s Ghostober in the United States.
For those who were wondering why we’d care about it since we can’t watch it here in the U.S., I referred to Exhibit A: Bathsheba. The world broadcast premiere airs on Monday, October 11 —but it’s also something we’ll likely soon get to watch in the U.S. on Travel Channel, discovery+, or maybe both.
However, something that will premiere during both Creep Week and Ghostober 2021 is Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life. In the U.S. it will stream exclusively on discovery+ starting October 8, which is a week earlier than it will air on T+E, which is October 15.
But will this year’s Creep Week hold any other previews of shows not premiering during Ghostober but that we might anticipate watching in the months to come?
I promised that I’d share the full Creep Week 2021 lineup as soon as I saw it. It was released this week so let’s check it out and see if it holds any other clues for shows American audiences might get to see soon.

Equal parts horrific and evocative, every hour-long episode will expose viewers to survivors who have been dragged through hell and back and now struggle to rebuild their shattered lives.
Creep Week Clues?
Is Proof perhaps a preview of a show we’ll get to see here in the U.S.? It sounds intriguing…
And what about Hotel Paranormal? I’m not sure if reruns or whole new episodes are airing during Creep Week. Global News interviewed Aykroyd about Hotel Paranormal season 2, which was released July 2, 2021. So I’m thinking they’re reruns. And since Hotel Paranormal isn’t a part of Ghostober 4 programming, maybe season 2 will debut in the U.S. in the near future too?

Which of the above shows are ones you’d be most interested in watching?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

Unexplained: Caught on Camera sounds fun because it includes the bizarre. Sometimes you want to see something that’s not another ghost but something totally weird.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched an episode of this show, but I do love compilation of clips type shows. I’m going to have to check this one out now. You made me view the concept of it in a new way!
