Three years after the ambitious trilogy directed by Leigh Janiak, Netflix is headed back to R.L. Stine‘s Fear Street with a brand new movie based on Stine’s teen horror tales.
Stine has taken to Twitter this morning to confirm recent reports that the next Fear Street movie will be based on his book Fear Street: The Prom Queen, published in 1992.
Stine tweets, “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!”
This news was first reported by the website What’s on Netflix earlier this week. The site noted in their exclusive report, “Fear Street: Prom Queen is a stand-alone feature that likely won’t feature characters from the Fear Street trilogy released on Netflix in 2021.”
Here’s the official synopsis for the Prom Queen book from Stine…
A spring night…soft moonlight…five beautiful Prom Queen candidates…dancing couples at the Shadyside High prom — these should be the ingredients for romance. But stir in one brutal murder — then another, and another — and the recipe quickly turns to horror. Lizzie McVay realizes that someone is murdering the five Prom Queen candidates one by one — and that she may be next on the list! Can she stop the murderer before the dance is over — for good?
Based on R.L. Stine’s teen horror franchise, Netflix’s “Fear Street Trilogy” debuted in Summer 2021, the three films unfolding one massive story across three weekends of release.
Netflix’s Fear Street franchise thus far includes…
Fear Street Part One: 1994 – A circle of teenage friends accidentally encounter the ancient evil responsible for a series of brutal murders that have plagued their town for over 300 years.
Fear Street Part Two: 1978 – Shadyside, 1978. School’s out for summer and the activities at Camp Nightwing are about to begin. But when another Shadysider is possessed with the urge to kill, the fun in the sun becomes a gruesome fight for survival.
Fear Street Part Three: 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.
