On Wednesday (May 19), Netflix announced that its three-part adaptation of author R.L. Stine’s Fear Street trilogy would be debuting as part of a three week movie event.
Based off of Stine’s best selling horror series, the upcoming Netflix trilogy kicks off in 1994 when a group of teenagers who reside in Shadyside discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected— and that they may be the next targets.

“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,” said director Leigh Janiak. “I can’t wait to welcome everyone into the world of Fear Street in 1994, 1978 and 1666!”
Added R.L. Stine: “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!”
Fear Street Part 1: 1994 premieres via Netflix on July 2, with Part 2: 1978 and Part 3: 1666 releasing on July 9 and July 16, respectively.
