Netflix has graced us with a teaser trailer for a trilogy of films coming to the streaming platform later this summer, Fear Street. According to the press notes, the series is a first for Netflix and for the horror film genre; an epic summer movie event over three consecutive weeks this July. More below.
The films are based on the book series by R.L. Stine. Here’s some more on what to expect.
Trilogy Logline | 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!” said Leigh Janiak, director of the Fear Street trilogy.
R.L. Stine said: “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!”
Watch the teaser below. The first film drops on Netflix on 2nd July with the other two landing on the following two Fridays.
