Shadyside,
killer capital, USA.
Fear Street is a series of
horror stories that I wrote.
And it came long before Goosebumps.
And there were no horror series at that time.
No one ever dies in Goosebumps,
even the ghosts,
they were dead a hundred years ago.
Who the hell was that?
[SCREAM]
The books take place in a typical town, called Shadyside.
Shadyside!
Except, there’s one street in town where horrible things happen
and that’s Fier Street.
I know what I saw.
There's a curse on that street
going back to the Fier family
and the Goode family back in colonial times.
The devil has come.
And that's where the horror begins.
I’ve killed off a lot of teenagers in Fear Street.
Amazing observation.
The Fear Street books kind of hit that sweet spot for me.
For my teenage girl subconscious. They're just fun.
But it’s mostly the spirit of the books that lives in the movies.
The present of our movies is 1994.
Those characters anchor this journey that we take back in time, through 1978.
And then, ultimately 1666 brings it all together.
So, each movie tells its own complete story,
but the narrative is very, very connected.
Hello?
It's not over.
The witch.
A witch named Sarah Fier cursed Shadyside.
You will feel the grip of my hand.
The trilogy mostly takes place in the 90s
and follows a group of teenagers
who are trying to uncover the town's past.
Shadyside, which is a town that gets
the bad end of the deal, over, and over, and over again.
The witch's curse is real!
An entire history of a town
is revealed by us trying to tackle this problem.
No way.
With all three timelines,
the witch has a grip upon the land
and these killers are after us.
They didn't believe us.
We're on our own.
Go! Go! Go!
We have to figure out how to break the curse,
which shapes an entire community.
One of the great things about being able to make the three different time periods
was that we could pay homage to different eras of horror.
So, for the 90s was the renaissance of fun slashers.
For 1978,
we really leaned into the heyday of slashers
like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street.
Did you hear that?
Then 1666, is a nice tradition of period horror.
I don’t think a trilogy has ever been shot all at once before.
All in the matter of four months.
I think the fact that we’re shooting all three movies at the same time
is completely innovative.
Are you sure you want to do this?
See you on the other side.
It's crazy to watch three movies so close together.
All in one summer.
You're gonna be connected to these stories.
You need to watch
one, two, and three to get that full experience.
Anything that you could think of
scary,
creepy,
bloody.
It all happens in Fear Street.
People are drawn to Fear Street
mainly for the surprises.
Run!
I feel like it's like straight out of a nightmare.
Whatever you're afraid of,
we have something for you.
Try not to die.
Just because we're weird,
smart,
and different,
doesn't mean they can feed us through their meat grinder.
Tonight it stops with us.
You coming or what?
