Three Movies. Three Weeks. One Killer Story.
Get ready for the horror movie event of the summer as Netflix debuts Fear Street, based on the best-selling R.L. Stine book series. The horror trilogy will debut on the streaming service in July, with each of its three parts premiering over three consecutive Fridays.
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, FEAR STREET follows Shadyside’s sinister history through a nightmare 300 years in the making.
“As a filmmaker making Fear Street, but also just as a movie lover, I was so excited to pay homage to some of the great eras of horror movies,” says Leigh Janiak, Director of the Fear Street trilogy. “For 1994, Scream stood above all rest — it’s peak ’90s horror and, I think, one of the most brilliant movies ever made, period. Then for 1978, I got to look at the heyday of slasher films — Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street. For 1666…I found the best inspiration for me lay in the beautiful world made rotten of Terence Malick’s The New World.”
