With the success of R.L. Stine's first Fear Street trilogy for Netflix, a new prom queen-centric story is slashing its way onto the streaming service later this year -- one that fans have been eagerly awaiting. Set to release later this year, bringing this classic theme, beloved by horror enthusiasts for its mix of glamour and gore, is a smart move, ripe for reinvention in the Fear Street universe. The buzz around the film isn’t just nostalgia bait, though, with a new generation of horror fans ready to dive in.

Netflix’s gamble on a multi-part horror series paid off handsomely the first time around with the first Fear Street trilogy. With its unique blend of teen drama, brutal kills, and a connecting mystery across three distinct eras, it stood out as one of the most ambitious horror projects in recent memory. The upcoming fourth installment, Fear Street: Prom Queen...

June 2024 horror novel offers a gory and intense replacement for Fear Street trilogy with social commentary on gentrification. Summer Camp For Slasher Victims is a self-aware horror throwback that complicates the usual innocence story of summer camp slashers. Perfect for Fear Street fans, the novel combines classic slasher thrills with smart social commentary, appealing to those awaiting the next spinoff.

For readers who loved Netflixs gory slasher trilogy Fear Street, one June 2024 horror book could be a perfect replacement for the series. Author Rl Stines Fear Street novels were adapted into a trilogy of slasher movies in the summer of 2021, with Netflix releasing Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978, and Fear Street: 1666 throughout July. Netflixs Fear Street trilogy was met with critical acclaim as the series offered a nostalgic throwback to the golden age of slasher movies. Despite their fondness for the sub-genre, the Fear Street movies were gory, brutal, and far from playful.

Netflix’s Fear Street franchise launched back in Summer 2021 with three movies, the trilogy saga telling one complete story that spanned from 1666 all the way up to 1994.

Directed by Leigh Janiak, the three movies were Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978 and Fear Street: 1666, the first film taking a page out of the Scream playbook, the second paying tribute to the golden age of slasher cinema, and the final film turning the clock even further back. What’s next from the saga? The fourth film is titled Fear Street: Prom Queen.

Coming soon, Fear Street: Prom Queen is based on the same-titled book that R.L. Stine published in 1992, and it’s set to take the film franchise – yet again – into a brand new decade.

Fear Street: Prom Queen will be nestled between the events of Fear Street: 1994 and Fear Street: 1978, with the new movie confirmed this week...

Fear Street 4 will bring back the author's obsession with haunted schools and explore the high school setting more thoroughly. The Prom Queen, the novel that Fear Street 4 will be based on, embodies the quintessential R.L. Stine Fear Street story. Fear Street 4 has the potential to capture the writer's unique appeal by combining the darker edge of the earlier movies with Stine's warped version of educational institutions.

The news that Fear Street 4 will adapt an underrated R.L. Stine novel proves the movie can bring back an author obsession that was missing from the original trilogy. Netflix's Fear Street trilogy was a trio of interconnected slasher movies released in July 2021. Based on the novel series of the same name by Goosebumps author R.L. Stine, the Fear Street trilogy followed a group of teens from the under-resourced community of Shadyside who uncovered a centuries-old curse that...

Netflix is set to go into production on a new R.L. Stine film based on his Fear Street series. The next movie will be based on The Prom Queen.

“Movie News: I can finally announce that a new Fear Street movie is about to go into production for Netflix. It’s based on my Fear Street book, The Prom Queen. Good news!” Stine wrote in a social media post (see below).

Netflix released one Fear Street movie a week for three weeks in 2021. The trilogy was inspired by R. L. Stine’s Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978, and Fear Street: 1666, but were not based on any specific books written by Stine.

Netflix confirmed back in November that a standalone Fear Street film was in the works, and that this time, the film will be based on a specific book.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of books,” Netflix’s Head of...

Deena and Josh turn to C. Berman, a survivor of the 1978 Camp Nightwing massacre, for answers about Sarah Fier and the Shadyside curse. The true witch's mark is a network of tunnels beneath Camp Nightwing, where Sarah Fier's undead henchmen emerge from. C. Berman, revealed to be Ziggy Berman, escaped Sarah Fier but lives in terror as Sam becomes possessed in her house.

The Camp Nightwing nightmare may be over at the end of Fear Street Part 2: 1978, but Deena still has to witness the truth about Sarah Fier and the Shadyside curse. The Fear Street trilogy's middle chapter serves as both a prequel and a sequel to Fear Street Part 1: 1994, as Deena and Josh turn to C. Berman, a survivor of the 1978 Camp Nightwing massacre, for answers that could free Sam from her violent possession. After Deena and Josh break into C. Berman's house and transfer...

Fear Street 4 will be a standalone movie but may feature the return of some characters from the previous trilogy. Deena, the main character, may make a proper return or be mentioned by new characters in Fear Street 4. The Goode family, particularly Nick's brother William, could seek revenge in Fear Street 4 and use the spellbook for their own benefit.

Netflix’s Fear Street movie series will expand with a fourth movie, and there are a couple of characters from the previous movies who can return in some way. Netflix consistently adds horror content to its catalog, both TV shows and movies, but not all of them have been the big successes the platform expected. In 2021, Netflix brought the Fear Street trilogy, based on R. L. Stine’s book series of the same name. Netflix broke its binge-watch release style with Fear Street as the movies were released weekly,...

The Fear Street trilogy was a successful and critically acclaimed slasher movie franchise based on Rl Stine's novels, with each installment receiving praise from audiences and critics. Despite its success, the series has not yet received a sequel or spinoff, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next installment and questioning why there hasn't been one yet. The franchise has the potential for future movies by utilizing the many pre-existing slasher villains from Rl Stine's novels, and the availability of the original cast may be a factor in the delay of a fourth movie.

The Fear Street trilogy was an instant classic horror movie franchise from Netflix, but the 2021 series has, inexplicably, still not received any follow-ups. Although 2020s horror movies have been doing big business at the box office, there are precious few fresh slasher franchises debuting this decade. The Conjuring cinematic universe is continually growing and earning big box office returns,...

Disney's reboot of the Goosebumps show, along with its release on popular platforms like Disney+ and Hulu, could spark renewed interest in R.L. Stine's other horror series Fear Street, potentially leading to more adaptations. Despite the lack of updates on Fear Street's future, the success of the Goosebumps franchise could push Netflix to greenlight more adaptations, including a potential Fear Street 4 or other related projects. The Fear Street Trilogy's viewership and the increased attention on Stine's work could have an impact on Netflix's decision to continue the series, and even a small update on the franchise would be appreciated by fans.

Disney is officially rebooting the Goosebumps show based on beloved children's books from acclaimed horror author R.L. Stine, but another adaptation on streaming deserves attention. For many who grew up in the '80s and '90s, the Goosebumps books and TV show were a gateway into the horror genre.

Netflix’s “One Piece” has a colorful, vibrant cast filled newcomers like Iñaki Godoy, who plays as Monkey D. Luffy, and some more seasoned actors like Vincent Regan, who plays Vice Admiral Garp. Netflix put in the work (seven years to be exact) to craft its live adaption of the bestselling manga series.

When “One Piece” creator Eiichiro Oda first saw Godoy, he knew that was his Luffy. Each of the cast members have created their own connection to their characters, and some loved and grew up watching them on screen as children.

Longtime anime fan Emily Rudd, who plays Nami, described her character as a member of the Staw Hats who sevves “like an older sister surrounded by a group of young brothers.” Mackenyu, who is Japanese, grew up idolizing his character Roronoa Zoro. He was so committed to his character that he even pierced his ears for the show,...

While time has seemingly ceased to exist in year two of the global pandemic, we’ve had no shortage of entertainment options. More films have had simultaneous theatrical releases and digital releases and most film festivals have been hybrid this year, offering both in-person and virtual access to journalists as well as audiences. We’re hoping this trend continues in 2022 to allow accessibility to all.

With that said, 2021 has been a great year for horror. I’ve been very fortunate to be able to view and cover some truly amazing horror films this year. As the world still feels like it’s in a state of chaos, I’ve continued to turn to horror as a form of therapy. I’ve seen some fantastic horror movies and shows this year that not only provided an escape from reality, but also showcased some wildly talented filmmaking. In no particular order, the...

In a year of uncertainty, with the literal horror film about a seemingly unstoppable deadly virus happening outside our front doors, reconnecting with movies on streaming networks, going to virtual film festivals, and returning to the sacred sanctum of the movie theater was pure joy. Horror took new forms in 2021, with fearfully fantastic and dreadfully reality-driven stories. 2021 found new ways to approach recurring themes of isolation, desperation, and the fear of the unknown. Films about religion, urban legends, culture, society, ecology, demons, slashers, and even automotive sensuality brought intriguing visions to beautifully horrific life. This year was undeniably a unique experience for genre fans. This list is my favorite horror from 2021.

Come True

Suffering from horrific recurring nightmares, 18-year-old Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone) submits to a university sleep study only to realize that the monsters from her dreams are invading her waking life. Writer/director Anthony Scott Burns deftly combines...

Puritanical superstition, paranoia, and repression run rampant in 19th-century horror, especially when set in or near New England. Much like The Witch or Fear Street Part 3: 1666, The Last Thing Mary Saw is the latest to explore the haunting ramifications of unwieldy religious fanaticism. It doesn’t forge any new ground, but this atmospheric, intimate portrait of forbidden love does […]...

After three weekly installations full of terrifying twists and turns, the long-anticipated Fear Street event has come to a spooky and satisfying end - but is it really the end? With every wildly successful Netflix project, we find ourselves asking, will there be a sequel? There's no official green light for a follow-up movie yet, but the chances for one look as strong as the 300-year-old Shadyside curse.

How Fear Street Part 3: 1666 Ends

Let's first look at how the trilogy ends on a note that leaves the door open for a sequel. Long story short, Deena has a vision as Sarah Fier and discovers what's been ailing Shadyside for three centuries: The Goode family making a deal with the devil and setting serial killers on the loose since 1666. After trapping the Shadyside killers in the mall, Deena kills Nick by stabbing him in the eye and breaks the...

(Warning: This article contains spoilers for “Fear Street Part 3: 1666,” now streaming on Netflix.)

In Netflix’s “Fear Street” trilogy, Kiana Madeira plays both Deena, an angsty high schooler in the ’90s who hunts down the mob of undead serial killers who are after her ex-girlfriend, and Sarah Fier, aka “The Witch of Shadyside,” a woman who was hung in 1666 and vows to haunt her wrongdoers after being falsely accused of doing witchcraft.

While those characters couldn’t be more different from each other, Madeira was drawn to them for very similar reasons; namely, the two women’s fearlessness.

“I was drawn to Deena because she’s extremely strong, determined and fearless. She loves so hard and is willing to do anything and everything for the people she cares about,” Madeira told TheWrap. “She’s really protective, and I related to that.”

As for Sarah Fier, Madeira said she...

Like any cinematic series hoping to keep going, the final film in Leigh Janiak’s “Fear Street” trilogy sets up for plenty more thrills and chills to come. While “Fear Street Part 3: 1666” ends on a high, as Deena (Kiana Madeira), Sam (Olivia Scott Welch), Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.), Martin (Darrell Britt-Gibson), and Constance (Gillian Jacobs) vanquish an ancient evil, clear Sarah Fier’s name (and witchy past), and seem to make some pretty big inroads toward saving their long ill-fated hometown of Shadyside, a post-credits scene threatens that peace.

As the heroes celebrate and the credits spin by, we journey back into the local mall, site of so many of the film’s horrors and the group’s final stand-off, as an unseen pair of hands reach out to grab the spell book left behind by Sheriff Goode (Ashley Zukerman), one of the last descendants...

Kiana Madeira listened to everything from Snoop Dogg to Tracy Chapman to prepare for her roles in the “Fear Street” slasher trilogy – films that respectively take place in 1994, 1978 and 1666.

“I think the music is like another character in the story for all three films—the soundtrack as well as the score,” Madeira told TheWrap. “They had such a big part in telling the story and the trajectory of what the characters were going though.

The “Fear Street” trilogy centers around Shadyside teens who, after multiple gruesome killings, get together to take on the evil force that’s been tormenting their town for centuries. Many Shadyside residents believe the force to be a doing of the witch, Sarah Fier, who is said to have placed a curse on the town before her death in 1666.

The films are all subversions of the horror genre in many ways. They’re centered on queer love,...

Surprise! As the “Fear Street” trilogy wraps up its run with one final entry — “Fear Street Part 3: 1666,” which hit Netflix in the wee hours of Friday morning — filmmaker Leigh Janiak still has plenty of tricks and twists up her sleeve. While the trilogy has long promised to journey back to 1666, Janiak’s film isn’t content to simply go back in time, but to also return the action to where it all started, at least cinematically: in 1994.

“We knew we wanted to go back to the 1600s, we always knew that,” Janiak said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “We also knew that we had to go back to the ’90s, because that was the present of our movies, that was the thing driving us forward. I wanted the characters, ultimately, to win and to feel like we were ending on some level of hope,...

Horror fans tuning into the final installment of Netflix’s trilogy “Fear Street,” based on the R.L Stine books, are transported back to 1666 to experience a nightmare that has been haunting the town of Shadyside for generations: a witch hunt.

To create the soundscape, composer Anna Drubich, influenced by Ari Aster’s 2019 release “Midsommar” and helped along with her training as a classical composer, worked with Marco Beltrami to come up with an experimental vibe. She talked to Variety about her process.

Since you were coming in to score the last film in the trilogy, what kind of conversations did you have prior?

Leigh Janiak had the idea that each movie would be set in different eras. So, for “Fear Street: 1994,” there was the obvious score and music which was influenced by “Scream.” With “Fear Street: 1978,” she wanted something influenced by Jerry Goldsmith, along the lines of “Alien.

The Fear Street saga comes to a satisfying close with Fear Street Part 3: 1666, a grand finale that manages to tie the entire series together in a neat little bow. Drawing on The Witch, Terrence Malick’s The New World, The Crucible, and more, Fear Street Part 3 is another loving pastiche; a tribute to the endless horror (and […]

The post ‘Fear Street Part 3: 1666’ Review: The Horror Trilogy Comes to a Satisfying End appeared first on /Film.

To anyone who’s seen the first two installments of Netflix’s three-part horror collection, it’s almost a formality to describe the initial plot of “Fear Street: 1666.” The ending of “1978” hinted at a possible window to the truth, a chance for Deena (Kiana Madeira) to see the origins of a town’s curse through the eyes of Sarah Fier herself. Memorialized in regional lore as a witch whose wickedness cursed Shadyside to centuries of doom in the form of a spate of serial killers, Sarah is introduced here as a loving sister and daughter who’s as capable helping her brother with the livestock as she is doing good works for her fellow residents of Union, including potential husband Solomon Goode.

Her heart truly belongs, though, to the pastor’s daughter, despite obvious reasons why they can never be together. If parts of this start to feel familiar,...

“Fear Street Part 3: 1666” isn’t just the best of the Netflix horror trilogy; it also recasts the prior two entries, “1994” and “1978,” in a more favorable light by deepening the mythology and underscoring just how crucial it is to watch all three chapters consecutively. Taken on their own, any one of these films loosely based on R.L. Stine’s novels would be an above-average genre throwback. Together, they amount to one of the more involving horror series in recent memory.

Despite their subtitles, the three “Fear Street” movies aren’t truly separated by decades and centuries: Their timelines quite literally bleed into one another. That’s especially true in the trilogy-concluding “1666,” which partially takes place in the year of its title and, in keeping with the series’ witchy mysticism, exclusively features actors from the first two installments playing their 17th-century counterparts. These youths feel as though they both are...

Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy is more than the sum of its parts. So regardless of niggles with individual installments, it’s hard to deny that this is an unusual and bold project for the streaming service and the director of all three, Leigh Janiak. Part three is the most ambitious of the lot, taking us back to colonial America and a time of superstition and religious fervor.

By reuniting Sarah Fier’s severed hand with the rest of her remains, Deena Johnson (Kiana Madeira) of the 1990s suddenly finds herself transformed into the body of Sarah circa 1666—reliving her memories of the final days before she was hanged as a witch. Janiak uses cast from the first two movies to play the residents of the encampment that will become Shadyside, giving a sense of legacy to this origin story; a sense that history is repeating itself.

Simon and Kate...

Too much of anything is never good, and the end of Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy confirms that. The third and last of Leigh Janiak’s ambitious trio of films, titled Fear Street Part 3: 1666, takes us back to the 17th century to uncover the root of Shadyside’s problems. This bloated finale (running almost two hours long) perfunctorily ties up the narrative loose ends with little finesse or energy — a shame because the earlier two entries, chock-full of pop culture references and subversive thematic underpinnings, had immense potential.

Fear Street’s conceit always felt slightly dubious: three films, each set in a different ...

If you're looking for a very scary summer watch, Netflix has delivered with not one horror film but three. The Fear Street trilogy film event is based on R.L. Stine's bestselling horror book series of the same name, telling the story of Shadyside's terrifying history through 300 years of horrifying events.

Ahead of the third and final film, Fear Street Part 3: 1666, we sat down with some of the trilogy's stars - Kiana Madeira, Emily Rudd, Olivia Scott Welch, and Ryan Simpkins - for a horror-movie-themed game of "Would You Rather." The cast had to decide between some impossible situations featuring films like A Quiet Place and Jurassic Park . . .

. . . as well as Halloween and Carrie.

Watch it all in the video above, and check out the Fear Street trilogy now playing on Netflix!

Netflix has debuted the trailer for the third and final film ‘Fear Street Part 3: 1666.’

The origins of Sarah Fier’s curse are finally revealed as history comes full circle on a night that changes the lives of Shadysiders forever.

Trilogy logline: In 1994, a group of teenagers discover the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected — and they may be the next targets.

Based on R.L. Stine’s best-selling horror series, the trilogy follows Shadyside’s sinister history through a nightmare 300 years in the making. Leigh Janiak helms the film which once again.

Fear Street Part 3: 1666 hits the streamer on July 16.

The post Trailer lands for Netflix’s ‘Fear Street Part 3: 1666’ appeared first on HeyUGuys.

For the last two weeks, Netflix subscribers have been enjoying the first two parts of the Fear Street trilogy. Based on a series of novels from R.L. Stine, these are not your typical Goosebumps. These are R-rated slasher movies with enough bloody violence to satisfy most horror fans. The conclusion, Fear Street Part 3: 1666, will tie up the intriguing story that has been laid out thus far.

In Fear Street Part 1: 1994, Deena, Sam, and friends find themselves on the run from undead killers who are possessed by the spirit of a witch, Sarah Fier, that has cursed Shadyside. In part 2, 1978, we get a flashback of another night when a massacre took place, this time at a sleepaway camp. We followed a young Ziggy as she encounters the killers and deals with many of the teenage issues one could face at camp. Part 2 paid tribute to the many other...

[Editor’s note: The following post contains light spoilers for “Fear Street Part 2: 1978.”]

Hear the words “’70s-set summer camp slasher,” and you’ll likely think of such horror mainstays as “Friday the 13th”, “Sleepaway Camp,” or “The Burning,” classic entries in the sub-genre that Leigh Janiak’s second “Fear Street” movie ably fits alongside. As its title tells us, Janiak’s “Fear Street Part 2: 1978” is set in the waning days of the decade, as a pack of teens and kids (most of them ill-fated) enjoy a summer spent at Ohio’s own Camp Nightwing.

The film picks up after Janiak’s “Fear Street Part 1: 1994,” which introduces audiences to (some) of the strange history of the towns that supply Camp Nightwing’s seasonal residents, including down-market Shadyside and seemingly perfect Sunnyvale. When the two sets of townspeople come together to spend the summer, old fractures emerge and new bonds form, all of them tied up in the murderous backstory that drives Janiak’s ambitious trilogy.

Sitting somewhere between a TV event and a ready made film franchise, the second part of Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy transports us back to the late ’70s and into the heyday of the slasher movie. Bookended with our core ’90s-set story, this segment recounts the tale of the Camp Nightwing massacre, as relayed by C. Berman (Gillian Jacobs), the sole survivor of the slayings. Loosely based on the books by R.L. Stine but leaning into a hard R-rating Fear Street Part Two: 1978 is teen-centric but is about as suitable for teenage viewers as its influences–i.e. it depends on the kid.

Playing with late ‘70s and early ‘80s stalk and slash traditions, the movie is most clearly influenced by Friday the 13th and provides an origin story for a masked killer similar to Jason Voorhees. But just like Fear Street Part 1: 1994, the sequel takes pleasure in...

The first installation of the Fear Street trilogy has finally hit Netflix! While featuring established actresses such as Kiana Madeira, Gillian Jacobs, and Maya Hawke, Fear Street Part 1: 1994 really spotlights fresh talent, introducing us to characters played by lesser-known names. At the center of the story is Samantha Fraser, a queer Sunnyvale cheerleader who becomes the target of a vengeful witch who wreaks havoc over Shadyside. If Sam seems familiar to you, there's a chance you may have seen her on screen before. She's played by 23-year-old actress Olivia Scott Welch, who's definitely been on some of TV's biggest hits lately.

Although Samantha in the Fear Street adaptation is certainly one of Welch's breakout roles, she has landed other parts in previous projects. This past year, Welch has appeared in a number of buzzy shows that put her name on the map. In May, she led Amazon Prime's...

Fear Street Part Two: 1978 is a perfect segue after the carnage that began in Fear Street Part One: 1994.

Kiana Madeira and Benjamin Flores Jr., return as Deena and Josh, who take what they've learned about C. Berman (Gillian Jacobs) and get in contact with her with the hope that they can save Sam (Olivia Scott Welch).

Of course, nothing is ever that easy, especially when it comes to horror movies.

To move forward, they need to understand the full picture of what has come before, and C. Berman's story is only the beginning.

She's a strange woman whose entire life has been shattered by what happened to her at Camp Nightwing in 1978.

Her life revolves around constantly ringing alarms, an oddity that isn't ever completely explained but only adds to her aura of mystery.

She hopes that by sharing the story of her tragic stay at the camp, Deena and...

Following the premiere of the first installment on Netflix, the streamer has released a new trailer for Fear Street Part 2: 1978. A trilogy of movies set over three separate time periods, the Fear Street movies are based on the original horror novels by R.L. Stine. The first chapter, Fear Street Part 1: 1994, was released on July 2, performing rather well with critics and horror fans. Teasing the release of chapter two this week, Netflix has dropped a new trailer which you can check out below.

A premise for Fear Street Part 2: 1978 reads: "In 1978, Camp Nightwing is divided by the campers and counselors who hail from the prosperous town of Sunnyvale and the campers and maintenance staffers from the downtrodden town of Shadyside, but when horrors from their towns shared history come alive, they must band together to solve a terrifying mystery before it is too late."

Leigh Janiak directs...

Netflix is releasing a film trilogy based on R.L. Stine's best-selling Fear Street horror series.

The first film is Fear Street Part One: 1994, in which teens Shadyside and rival community Sunnyside unwittingly unleashing an evil force that has terrorized Shadyside for 300 years.

Shadyside is the wrong side of town, mired in centuries of dreadful circumstances that plague its residents, earning the nickname Killer Capital, USA.

Its sister city, Sunnyside, has been coined the most beautiful place to live in the US, safe and crime-free for over 30 years.

The contrast is evident as another tragedy befalls Shadyside when several are killed in a local mall massacre.

In very short order, events unfold that require Shadyside High band member Deena (Kiana Maderia) and her erstwhile Sunnyside cheerleader girlfriend, Sam (Olivia Welch), to work together to combat the supernatural force terrorizing them.

Along for the ride are Deena's brother, Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.), and their friends,...

In the world of horror, there are loads of film adaptations based on popular books. In 2015, a movie franchise was started that was inspired by the beloved Goosebumps series. This year, three films based on R.L. Stine's Fear Street novels are going to be released. Unlike the former, the Fear Street trilogy will be rated-r for "strong bloody violence."

For those who have read the source material, the news may not be very surprising. A difference between Goosebumps and Fear Street is that the latter was geared towards a more teen audience. Goosebumps was primarily focused on appealing to elementary school-aged kids. Teenagers are generally able to see more mature material in works of fiction, which applies to all mediums, like cinema. However, the films will be more adult focused than teen oriented. The surprise that might come for some is how mature the adaptations will be.

The ratings...
