- So that was kind of shocking.
So he's forever going to be the scariest killer to me.
- You're cursed now sweetheart, nothing I can do for you.
- Yeah it's difficult.
That's a difficult question.
(upbeat music)
- I mean,
I think the big thing that Fear Street hopefully does,
is say you don't just have to be white and straight
to survive.
So I think that that's the main kind of new rule
is like, there are no longer this thing of, if you're black,
you're dying in the first 20 minutes,
or if you're queer you're definitely not
making it to the end.
We had a chance to kind of revisit this amazing sub genre
of slasher film and then kind of say, okay,
how do we make it more representative
of what the world was actually like back then?
Just, wasn't kind of able to be represented in film.
It's funny, 'cause every time I watch the movies, I'm like,
oh, there's one.
I have to remember that next time someone asks me
this question.
And then I always immediately forget.
The one that I kind of love is that we use the Pixies
and the three movies.
And in movie one, we use the song, Hey,
which is on Debaser.
And the first kind of lyric is,
hey, been trying to meet you, must be a devil between us.
And it's the song that Dina puts on the mixtape.
She writes it on it that she gives to Sam
and the, it just to me kind of embodies
and tells the audience right there that like these two girls
are trying to be together,
but it's actually the devil that's there in between them.
Nick Good in '94 has a limp,
which you may or may not notice?
And then when you see what happens
to young Nick Good in 1978,
you see that he got injured
and Ash was reflecting that
when he was playing the role in '94.
- The one that ended up killing me
in the end of the '70s movie.
The Milkman or whatever.
I hadn't seen a photo of him at all
before he films that final scene.
So I was not warned what he looks like
or how he like killed his victims.
So that was kind of shocking.
So he's forever going to be the scariest killer to me.
- I think the scariest killer was Nightwing.
The whole apparel he was wearing just his fit
with the whole, with this whole theme, the ax.
And I also, it could just be anybody
like that could just be any regular person.
That's what scared me the most.
- Milkman.
Never want to see The Milkman again, ever in my life.
- I think the scariest killer on set was The Milkman.
That was terrifying.
- But yeah, but you seen him real life.
It will change your whole life.
You'd be in therapy with me.
All props to our makeup department and his portrayal,
'cause it was yikes.
Sort of unclear what's driving them.
But like in terms of the scary isn't Nick Good,
just the scariest because he's aware of what he's doing.
The others sort of seem unaware.
- We call it the Heart of Darkness.
And so basically the idea for that was kind of
in the tradition of IT,
where there's like a crazy supernatural thing
that's happening.
The Heart of Darkness was supposed to be the physical
embodiment of evil of the devil on Earth.
A lot of the references that we looked at
when we were creating the, we had a practical thing,
which looks crazy.
And then obviously we knew it was always going
to be the effects, but I looked at Alien and Aliens,
both of which have like amazing kind
of visceral organic disgusting matter.
And also The Fly.
That was the other one that was a real kind of influence
for how to craft this.
But yeah, it's the literal embodiment of evil taking form.
- Those aren't two good options.
I have to pick between those two?
I think the head in the bread slicer sounds pretty horrific.
- You know what, I'm going to say,
eyes gouged out, because I think that the bread slicer
kind of just it's over quick.
- The bread slicer, just no humanity in it.
Like there's, there's like, why it's a bread slicer?
Like, come on.
- I don't know.
I think the eyeballs would be a little bit like,
I don't know, it'd be a slower death, maybe.
I'm not sure,
I'm going to have to go with them with the eyeballs.
- I don't, you know what I mean,
the eyes gouged out that I'm doing, I'm doing this.
I'm looking for my eyes that got gouged out.
Whose hand do I think grabs the book at the end?
That's a great question.
I don't know, but I'm really,
really curious to find out
in Fear Street Part Four, Five and Six.
- I don't think, I don't think we've seen them yet.
That's what I think.
I don't think we've seen them at all yet.
- I'm not sure I haven't thought about it.
Actually, it's a good question.
What are the theories right now that are circulating?
- Oh, great question.
RL Stein.
- That remains unknown.
Obviously, it could be anyone.
It could be someone that knows what the book is.
It could be someone that doesn't know what the book is
and it's just kind of like taking a piece of it.
It could be another cop.
It could be a teenager.
I think that we wanted to keep it purposely kind of vague
and ambiguous.
But knowing that like evil still exists in Shady Side
and it's what are the humans going to do with this evil?
