Horror villains may terrify us and give us countless nightmares but that doesn't stop us from shelling out our hard-earned cash to see them hack their way through innocent victims on the big screen. There are innumerable reasons why these murderous figures have become pop culture icons: their signature modus operandi, their unique looks, the one-liners they spout before causing some serious bloodshed, whatever. From Leatherface to Ghostface, from Pinhead to Pumpkinhead, we simply can't take our eyes off the screen when these legendary monsters make their appearance.
However, there's no better way to undermine the terror and mystery of horror villains than by watching the actors who play them goof around behind the scenes. Not only does it destroy the illusion by revealing that these maniacs and monsters are just people in costumes and makeup but it shows that, in reality, they are about as harmless as Casper the Friendly Ghost.

And who could forget the chill-inducing commercials for TV movies?

Spoilers Ahead! As the second part of my Fear Street special feature, I had the opportunity to catch up with Julia Rehwald, who played Kate in 1994 and Lizzie in 1666. It's not often that actors have the opportunity to continue in a franchise even after their character dies, but that's exactly what Julia Rehwald did and we discussed all the hard work that went into Kate's very memorable death scene, along with preparing for the roles, and her love of horror movies:
How did you first get involved with the Fear Street trilogy and what made you want to take on the role of Kate?
Julia Rehwald: I first found out about the project through Leigh Janiak, because I was involved with a pilot that she directed before she did Fear Street. She ended up having me send a self-tape audition to submit for the roles of Kate and Lizzie. I...

At Comic-Con@Home on Friday, Netflix unveiled a never-before-seen blooper reel for its acclaimed horror trilogy, Fear Street.

Part One picks up in ’94, watching as a group of teenagers discover that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected—and that they may be the next target. Parts Two and Three offer a deeper dive into the sinister history of Shayside, following the town through a nightmare 300 years in the making.
Janiak wrote the script for Part One: 1994 with Phil Graziadei. She scripted Part Two: 1978 with Zak Olkewicz. Part Three: 1666 was penned by Graziadei, Janiak and Kate Trefry.

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,...

It’s been an exciting few weeks, but we have finally made it to the conclusion of Leigh Janiak’s Fear Street trilogy, as she takes us back to the year 1666 where everything began with Sarah Fier’s curse that has a hold over the residents of Shadyside and has seemingly left those living in nearby Sunnyvale thriving and unaffected by the witch’s influence from beyond the grave. As someone who has really enjoyed both the 1994 and 1978 Fear Street installments of this series, I’m completely in awe of how well everything comes together in Fear Street Part Three: 1666, where we not only take a terrifying trip to the past that sheds new light on just what exactly happened to Sarah Fier, but also satisfyingly wraps up the story of Deena (Kiana Madeira), Sam (Olivia Scott Welch) and Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.) as well, as they set out to...

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.

Sitting somewhere between film and TV, Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, based on the books by R.L. Stine, tells one interconnected story over three different eras, each leaning into a different subgenre of horror. While the first two mostly work as standalones, the connective tissue is what makes these movies a bit more special and interesting and lends them to repeat viewings.
In Fear Street Part 2: 1978, we learn more about the past – bits about the history of Sarah Fier and how she might have managed to curse Shadyside and similarly how she might be stopped – by reuniting her remains with her severed hand.
But there are also lots of moments in Fear Street ‘78 that reference and enhance Fear Street 1994.
“There’s a lot across the three movies where we tried to recreate moments,” trilogy director Leigh Janiak tells Den of Geek.
“Obviously, there are songs that we revisit.

Author R.L. Stine’s long-running YA series “Fear Street” might be decidedly PG in its thrills, chills, and kills, but when it came time to transfer his creepy vision to the big screen, things took one hell of an R-rated turn. In filmmaker Leigh Janiak’s Netflix trilogy, the stakes are very real, and so too is the gore level, which unspools via a wide variety of icky, bloody, and just plain scary kills.
“Right away, I was like, these have to be R-rated slasher movies,” Janiak said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “I was thinking about being 10 and 11 and sneaking to the video store and renting things I wasn’t supposed to rent, like ‘Child’s Play’ and ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street.’ That was an important part, always, for me.”

This story contains spoilers for “Fear Street Part One: 1994”
“Stranger Things” season 3 came out on Netflix two years ago over the Fourth of July holiday — and this weekend Netflix has launched another nostalgia-driven horror thing — “Fear Street: 1994,” the first movie of a trilogy based on R.L. Stine’s books.
And if you’ve watched the film, there’s a very good chance that “Stranger Things” popped into your head right from the get-go.
Both “Fear Street” and “Stranger Things” play on the nostalgia factor of the era, lovingly recreating their time periods — the early ’90s and the mid-’80s, respectively — with plenty of detail and dozens of time-appropriate needle drops on the soundtrack. The characters in each are self aware young people armed with movie and pop culture knowledge. And each film is smartly made and shot in ways that pay homage to classic directors and horror movies of their day.

As someone who absolutely adores slasher movies and considers Wes Craven’s Scream to be one of the best and most consistent franchises ever committed to celluloid, I was the prime audience for Leigh Janiak’s Fear Street: 1994, which lovingly pays tribute to Scream in a variety of ways (including Marco Beltrami’s score from the original film), but also sets out to do its own thing as well. And while Fear Street: 1994 absolutely nails all of its slasher tropes and fully embraces mid-’90s nostalgia to a T, what I really appreciated is how the story is also infused with a supernatural bent, making it a standout effort from Janiak and everyone involved that does a brilliant job of creating something of a horror-centric cinematic universe utilizing the works of R.L. Stine as its backdrop.

Netflix is releasing a film trilogy based on R.L. Stine's best-selling Fear Street horror series.
The first film is Fear Street Part One: 1994, in which teens Shadyside and rival community Sunnyside unwittingly unleashing an evil force that has terrorized Shadyside for 300 years.
Shadyside is the wrong side of town, mired in centuries of dreadful circumstances that plague its residents, earning the nickname Killer Capital, USA.
Its sister city, Sunnyside, has been coined the most beautiful place to live in the US, safe and crime-free for over 30 years.
The contrast is evident as another tragedy befalls Shadyside when several are killed in a local mall massacre.
In very short order, events unfold that require Shadyside High band member Deena (Kiana Maderia) and her erstwhile Sunnyside cheerleader girlfriend, Sam (Olivia Welch), to work together to combat the supernatural force terrorizing them.
Along for the ride are Deena's brother, Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.), and their friends,...

Debuting July 2 and rolling out a fresh installment every Friday for three weeks, Netflix’s new “Fear Street” trilogy slices and dices R.L. Stine’s other book series — less popular but slightly more grown-up than the fright-meister’s best-selling “Goosebumps” franchise — into three feature-length horror movies, each one detailing a different bloodbath in small-town Shadyside.
“Fear Street Part 1: 1994” takes a page from “Stranger Things” as director Leigh Janiak appeals to audiences’ near-past nostalgia, evoking a time when landlines and shopping malls were still a thing. The strategy supplies an intriguing retro veneer to an otherwise generic showdown between several misfit teens and their waking nightmares. Set two years before Wes Craven’s “Scream” clued horror fans into the genre’s most enduring clichés, “Part 1” faithfully plays by certain codes while bending others.
For example, a young woman bites it in the stylized opening scene (set in and around an atmospherically lit B.

The kitschy genius of Leigh Janiak’s “Fear Street” trilogy, which the writer-director has adapted for Netflix from R.L. Stine’s young adult horror books of the same name, is that each of its three chapters offers its own full-tilt throwback at the same time as they all bleed together into a wholly modern story. That story — a frothy but fanged tale of cursed outsiders, cyclical violence, power-mad white men, and virtually every other evil that seems top of mind these days — is plenty of the moment in its subject matter, but even more so in its construction.
At a time when the border that separates movies and television can seem like a relic from an outdated map, the “Fear Street” trilogy makes those divisions seem more irrelevant than ever. Here we have three feature-length titles set for release on consecutive Fridays, each of which belongs to a different tradition...

Three horror films with an arc that spans centuries, released on Netflix weekly: You get a lot of bang for your buck in Fear Street. With each installment existing in a slightly different sub-genre, referencing a whole range of other movies and franchises, the whole thing plays out like a super-packed horror digest. So while its parts might feel derivative, the experience as a whole does not.
Based on the Fear Street books by R.L. Stine, his novels for older teens, Fear Street is gross, gory, and nostalgic enough for adult viewers but also fun and frisky enough to be teen-friendly. Leigh Janiak, whose debut was the eerie horror Honeymoon, heads up all three, bringing a strong Stranger Things vibe—indeed several Stranger Things cast members pop up in Fear Street, including Maya Hawke and Sadie Sink.

Netflix’s “Fear Street” teaser stirred up buzz in May for two reasons: It revealed all three movies in the trilogy would roll out over three consecutive weeks in July, and it confirmed the movies would toughen up R.L. Stine’s PG-friendly books and make them R rated. Now comes the official trailer for the “Fear Street” trilogy, all installments of which are directed by Leigh Janiak.
Netflix’s official synopsis for the “Fear Street” trilogy reads: “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.

Netflix has announced its “Fear Street Trilogy” horror film series will be released over three consecutive weeks this July. Each installment is directed by Leigh Janiak and based upon the teen horror “Fear Street” books by R.L. Stine. The first movie, “Part 1: 1994,” will start streaming July 2, followed by “Part 2: 1978” on July 9 and “Part 3: 1666” on July 16. The sprawling ensemble cast includes “Stranger Things” favorites Maya Hawke and Sadie Sink, plus Gillian Jacobs, Jordana Spiro, and more.

“We filmed all three ‘Fear Street’ movies over one crazy, bloody summer,” Janiak said in a statement.
The streaming giant’s official synopsis for trilogy reads: “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.”

The film trilogy adapting R.L. Stine’s Fear Street book franchise is officially relocating its ominous traffic to streaming giant Netflix.
A deal has been closed that will see Netflix acquire the Fear Street films from Disney, reports Deadline. The plan now is to premiere each of the interconnected film entries—all directed by Leigh Janiak—in Summer 2021 at the interval of a month apart. Netflix’s early marketing plans will see the trilogy heralded by a campaign dubbed “The Summer of Fear.” While a solid release date was not provided, the summer window seems solid and shouldn’t be susceptible to Covid-dealt delays, since principal photography on the films has already wrapped.
While fans of Stine’s Fear Street—the author’s slightly-scarier, somewhat-sexified teen-aimed alternative to his signature Goosebumps books—certainly embraced this live-action adaptation, the film trilogy project was passed off by the coalition of 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment,...

In addition to this being a golden era of Stephen King adaptations, this is also a bloody good time for R.L. Stine fans, and that will continue into next year, as Netflix has reportedly made an agreement with Disney to pick up a trilogy of films based on Stine's Fear Street series set in the seriously spooky town of Shadyside.
Deadline reports that Netflix has acquired the three Fear Street movies and is planning to release them a month separate from each other throughout the summer of 2021, which will reportedly be referred to as "The Summer of Fear."
Produced by Chernin Entertainment, all three movies were directed by Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) and co-written by Janiak and Kyle Killen, and they take place over three time periods: one in 1994, one in the 1600s, and, according to Bloody Disgusting (via Production Weekly), one in 1978.

Netflix has bought a trilogy of “Fear Street” movies, based on R.L. Stine’s teen horror series and directed by Leigh Janiak, from Disney.
The three completed films were produced at Fox by Chernin Entertainment with the goal of releasing each movie a month apart. Filming began last year in Georgia and they were scheduled for a release in June 2020, but the movies were pulled from their schedule after the Covid-19 pandemic closed theaters.
Chernin signed a first-look deal with Netflix in April. Disney absorbed the Fox feature film assets last year, including “Fear Street.”
The “Fear Street” books are set in the fictional city of Shadyside, Ohio. The first book, “The New Girl,” was published in 1989 and centered on a high school student falling in love with the new girl at school despite not being able to tell if she was even real. The student eventually goes to her...

Exclusive: And here we thought this was the summer of fear. Turns out, it’s a year away. Sources tell Deadline that Netflix just closed a deal with Disney to acquire a trilogy of interconnected Fear Street films adapted from R.L. Stine’s bestselling book series. Director Leigh Janiak has wrapped all three films, and the early plan is to run them a month apart next summer. This will be wrapped into a themed event that will be marketed by Netflix as The Summer of Fear.
It’s a natural landing place for the three films. Chernin Entertainment, which produced them, exited its Fox deal following the Disney acquisition. The Fear Street films were slated to be released theatrically by Fox, but that went sideways because the Disney release schedule is always so crowded, the pandemic shuttered movie theaters, and the subject matter is scarier than traditional Mouse fare.

Exclusive: Emily Rudd and McCabe Slye have signed on for Fox’s Fear Street trilogy, which is being helmed by Leigh Janiak. Both will make their first appearance in the second installment, which is set in 1978.

One of the young stars from Stranger Things, Sadie Sink, is set to star in the second installment of 20th Century Fox’s Fear Street trilogy, which is based on the Ya novels by R.L. Stine.
Sink will join the previously cast Kiana Madeira, Olivia Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Ashley Zukerman, Fred Hechinger, Julia Rehwald, and Jeremy Ford. The film trilogy will be directed by Leigh Janiak and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes of it.
The stories for the book series were set in the fictional town of Shadyside, Ohio, and they spanned different time periods in the 1980s and 1990s. Each one centered around a new set of characters. But some of those characters occasionally made appearances in other stories since they are all set in the same universe.

Are you ready to return to Shadyside, Ohio? A film trilogy based on R.L. Stine's Fear Street books is in the works.
Goosebumps made you want to keep the nightlight on into the wee hours of the night. However, R.L. Stine’s other book series, Fear Street, was pure evil. Teenagers devoured it. The Prom Queen, The Cheater, The Best Friend. Fear Street could be any Main Street U.S.A, and that's what helped the book series become a best-selling sensation. With the popularity of the 2015 Goosebumps movie, it was only a matter of time before the Hollywood Machine, the big bad thing that goes bump in the night, scooped it up Stine's other popular series for a big screen adaptation.
Leigh Janiak was brought onboard to write and direct the trilogy of Fear Street film adaptations.
