Fear Street: Prom Night will premiere on May 23, with Netflix confirming the information in an intriguing announcement trailer. The first three films within the Fear Street slasher franchise actually stunned me once they arrived on Netflix in 2021. I used to be in a short time lured into the world-building and seeing three completely different eras portrayed in opposition to a horror backdrop was very enjoyable certainly.
Fear Street elements One, Two, and Three – set in 1994, 1978, and 1666 respectively – acquired vital acclaim, and all of them are worthy holders of spots on our greatest Netflix films round-up. I used to be apprehensive that the creators would possibly relaxation on their laurels after a hat-trick of successes, however now they’re again with one other chilling story, and based mostly on the trailer, it’s already shaping as much as be one in all my greatest horror films of the 12 months.
This time round, we’ll comply with promenade season at Shadyside High (I’m already suspicious of a reputation like that, to be honest), however the cut-throat (not within the literal sense) competitors for the title of Prom Queen will quickly be the least of the varsity’s worries when women begin mysteriously disappearing. Surely somebody would not go that far for a highschool title, proper? I suppose we’ll discover out…
Take a take a look at the teaser under.
Why was Fear Street so profitable?
The Fear Street collection has been celebrated for plenty of causes. Many liked the franchise’s retro enchantment and the impressed casting, together with Stranger Things star Sadie Sink. I’m amongst those that sang the praises of the Fear Street franchise, and it was refreshing to see horror variations of this high quality amongst a few of the much less good Netflix horrors. Unfortunately, the Netflix library is house to some choices of questionable high quality – you, The Open House, however we will not win all of them. If solely Netflix hadn’t canceled 9 nice reveals final 12 months and gotten rid of the disappointing horrors as a substitute. But I digress.
The films are based mostly on R. L. Stine’s novels, and revolve round teenagers who should break a curse that’s been haunting their city for lots of of years. And they’re each bit as nerve-jangling as his iconic collection Goosebumps, which now has two seasons on Disney+. So, the Stine horror variations are actually killing it, and I could not be happier about that.
