'Fear Street: Prom Queen' Rating Is Great News for Horror Fans

Get ready for a real scare. It appears that R.L. Stine and Netflix's partnership is still going strong and, lucky for horror fans, is not straying from the path of its success in the more adult-focused horror market. Netflix's Fear Street film trilogy took the Goosebumps writer's teen horror book series of the same name from the page to the screen.
But rather than keeping the teen-oriented spooks, the producers decided to move the stories into the "R" rated territory, and what a fruitful decision that was for the classic series. With the next installment of the horror films, Fear Street: Prom Queen, following in the previous films' footsteps, the future of the series is promising for fans of Stine and horror alike.
The Goosebumps books, with the first being published in 1989, were explicitly meant for teenagers, limiting the amount of gore and graphic violence that they could contain.
