While Fear Street Part 2: 1978 most certainly slumps in ways that Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was largely immune to, it still manages to be a pretty fun ride. Stine’s “Fear Street” novels aimed to reach - and terrify - the demographic that had grown out of “Goosebumps.” Like his original saga, the first third of this new trilogy seeks to remind you that high school really can kill you.įear Street Part 2: 1978 took a little bit of a dip from the incredible Fear Street Part 2, but was still an engaging watch: Because it’s aimed at that younger audience, some viewers might expect the camera to pull away from the gore. You will see people shot, stabbed, mutilated and sliced from start to finish in this first entry. In her review for Fear Street Part 1: 1994, Amelia Emberwing said:įear Street is young adult fare, but this ain’t your momma’s PG-13 slasher.

What do your critics think of Fear Street? Stine’s best-selling horror series, Fear Street follows Shadyside’s sinister history through a nightmare 300 years in the making. 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. Here's the official synopsis of the trilogy from Netflix: The townsfolk of Shadyside believed the entire family to be a pox on the town because their name could be rearranged to spell 'fire.' Simon Fier, the former patriarch of the family, changed their name to 'Fear' in the 19th century. She wasn't the only Fier thought to be plagued with evil, though. Said evil revolves around Sarah Fier's curse.

The teens of Shadyside High will have to reconcile with the 300-year-old evil that started plaguing their town centuries ago, and they'll be all on their own while they do. Part 2 will take place in 1978, with Part 3 taking us all the way back to 1666. They'll work backwards in time, with the Part 1: 1994 kicking things off.

The Fear Street trilogy features three films that will span over 300 years.
