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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 . . .

[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...
