For the first time in history Netflix and in the horror genre, the streaming giant will release a new movie franchise, the Fear Street Trilogy over three consecutive weeks next month.
“In 1994, a group of teenagers discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected – and that they may be the next targets. Based on R.L. Stine’s best-selling horror series, the trilogy follows the nightmare through Shadyside’s sinister history.”
We filmed all three Fear Street movies over one crazy, bloody summer. It’s a dream that audiences now get to experience the story in the same way – back to back to back, with only a week of waiting in between. I can’t wait to welcome everyone into the world of Fear Street in 1994, 1978, and 1666!” Leigh Janiak, Director of the Fear Street trilogy states.
Fear Street fans are in for a treat–and some major surprises. Readers know that the book series is rated PG. But the movies are rated R. That means a lot more thrills– and a lot more terror! I have seen Leigh Janiak’s epic trilogy releasing on Netflix in July and I can tell you the scares and the SCREAMS are more than I ever expected. What fun to see the horrors of Shadyside come to life!“ Says R.L. Stine, Author of the best-selling horror series Fear Street.
Leigh Janiak serves as director. Kori Adelson, Timothy M. Bourne, Leigh Janiak, Yvonne M. Bernard, Joan Waricha, and Jane Stine executive produce.
Fear Street Part I: 1994 premieres on Netflix on July 2, 2021, followed by Part II: 1978 on July 9th, and Part III: 1666 on July 16th.
