Pour yourselves a stiff glass of spiked punch to numb the pain Creeps because this week we’re trapped on a boat for a little spot of “Promicide” (Original airdate May 2nd, 2001. Written by Maggie Friedman and directed by Jason Moore). Jack and Tobey may be the only ones to get out of this thing with their hearts in one piece - Gretchen and Dawson are on the (moon) rocks, Jen is self-medicating under the watchful eye of Dru, and Pacey is ready to unleash ALL his demons tonight! If you want to bear witness to our disgusting demons, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps). Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow has all the hits the band will play on with as this ship goes down into the icy deep.

CREEPS! This week we bring you an extra special episode of DC; we’re recording in PERSON! This recording went so swimmingly we decided to upload it with zero editing. Hopefully you enjoy the raw, uncut Creeps Gone Wild version of our art. If you do, let us know! If you hate it, also let us know, but take solace in the knowledge that we don’t get the opportunity to record in person very often so it won’t roll around again any time soon! - Z

We hope you’re ready to do the right thing Creeps cause you’ve been going steady with us for four seasons now and we’re “Late” (Original airdate April 25th, 2001. Written by Chris Levinson and Jeffrey Stepakoff and directed by David Petrarca). This theme has got you going and coming: Joey is late to surf the crimson tide, Gail is late to deliver her unwanted baby, Gretchen is late for going back to school, and we offhandedly learn that Jackers is chronically tardy. It all hangs together! If you want to hang together with us, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps). Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow would make a simply lovely birthing soundtrack.

Synchronize your watches so we can all cry in unison Creeps because this week we’re on "Eastern Standard Time" (Original airdate April 18th, 2001. Written by Jonathan Kasdan and directed by David Grossman). We’re going to clock Pacey abandoned to the tender mercies of Drue and the unnecessarily cruel Capeside educational system while Jen faces her demons in NYC with Joey’s loving support. Oh and Dawson and Gretchen’s relationship falls apart on the moon. If you want to be launched into outer space, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps).

Please report to the office Creeps, you have a call from home and it’s the full audio of our “Admissions” episode (Original airdate April 11th, 2001. Written by Chris Levinson and directed by Lev L. Spiro). We may be a day late and a dollar short but our Creek gang is laughing all the way to the bank with a big envelope full of college acceptances, financial aid tension, virginity (not real) revelations, and intense therapeutic probing of family trauma. It’s fun! For more therapeutic fun follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps). Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow is about as effective as fish watch for retrieving your repressed memories.

Get ready for chicanery and lies Creeps cause we are about to play some “Mind Games” (Original airdate February 28th, 2001. Written by Gina Fattore and Chris Levinson and directed by David Straiton). Comedy Jackers is back for some bawdy French farce with Jen, her therapist, and his poetry spewing girlfriend. We’ve also got some hot, hot, hot Poey action and the slow implosion of the Gretchen/Dawson love story. Want to watch us implode while being in love? Follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps)! Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow will really help you get in the zone to vote on who should be Class Couple.

Content warnings up, down, and sideways but Gabby was totally immersed in My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell. Also very into the narrator if you’re in an audiobook state of mind.

We hope you have your tickets to this black box theater production because we’re taking our seats for season four, episode fifteen “Four Stories” (Original airdate February 14th, 2001. Written by Tom Kapinos and directed by David Petrarca). We’ve got the morning after, the MOURNING after, Jen meeting her moronic therapist for the first time, and a montage of nostalgia and lies with Dawson and Joey. If you’re still craving some weird theater, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps)! Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow is probably much more therapeutically effective than Dr. Tom Frost.

Get ready to enter the mouth of madness Creeps cause we are dissociating to season four episode thirteen “Hopeless”  (Original airdate January 31st, 2001. Written by Nan Hagan and Chris Levinson and directed by Krishna Rao). Let’s tour the mini-golf courses of Capeside for a double date with Poey, rage to a sleepy lady on piano with Dawson and Gretchen’s friends, and learn to read good with Jack and a bespeckled void where chemistry should be. If you really want to watch sparks fly, follow us on instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps)!

Take off your blindfolds Creeps because we have officially arrived at the birthday party from hell in season four episode twelve “The Te of Pacey” (Original airdate January 17th, 2001. Written by Maggie Friedman and directed by Harry Winer). Gabby begins the episode in exactly the state of emotional collapse it warrants and things only get more exciting from there. We have Jen living her designated Dan dreams, Dawsons attempting to manifest a first date with Gretchen, and of course Pacey’s family waging psychological warfare on him to commemorate his birth. If you want a salve for your own psychic wounds, I recommend following our Instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps)!

Get ready to do nothing Creeps cause this week we’re living by “The Tao of Dawson”  (Original airdate January 10th, 2001. Written by Jeffrey Stepakoff and directed by Keith Samples). Get ready to experience all the thrills of college with Pacey - cars up on blocks, trying to get your sister laid, and hot tub cauldrons full of noodley boys! Joey is an even worse pickle aka locked in a storage closet with a human smear of grease. Also, Dawson makes a nostalgic move at Jack’s urgings and Grams goes out on the town with a gentleman caller. If you’re on the prowl for a gentleman caller, connect with other singles on our Instagram (@dawsonscreeps) and twitter (@dawsons_creeps)! Our antiracism doc is linked on insta and our Spotify playlist Dawson’s Creeps - Do You Want to Dance Tomorrow will really set the mood for the date where you admit you both know that the other knows that you know they are very ill. Fun!
