The streamer released a trailer for the creepy show Monday that starts with a glimpse of the idyllic Happy Hollow.
"Great town. Even better people," a sign reads.

Julie Bowen ( Modern Family ) dances with a Walkman in her kitchen. That illusion of perfection shatters when the lights flicker, a dish shatters, a demonic face appears in her microwave and an explosion ensues.

"When a beloved varsity quarterback disappears during the 'Satanic Panic' of the late 1980s, a struggling high school heavy metal bend of outcasts realize they can capitalize on the town's sudden interest in the occult by building a reputation as a Satanic metal band," an official synopsis reads. "Until a bizarre series of murders, kidnappings and reported 'supernatural activity' triggers a leather-studded witch hunt that leads directly back to them."

In addition to Bowen, the show stars Anna Camp ( Pitch Perfect ), Emjay Anthony ( Krampus ), Chiara Aurelia ( Cruel Summer ), Kezii Curtis ( Dolemite is my Name ) and Nikki Hahn ( Adventures in Babysitting ).
Matthew Scott Kane and David Goodman wrote and executive produced the show.

" Hysteria! is about both sides of that generational fear," the press release said. "It's about the thrills of being young, rebellious in spirit and aspirational at heart -- and the horrors of growing up and realizing that the world you thought you knew has shifted beneath your feet."
Peacock will release the eight-episode series on Oct. 18.
