Wow, it’s been a while.
Yeah, definitely.
Feels like yesterday, doesn’t it?
You two ready to start?
When you are.
Let’s do it.
This nightmare is 200 years
No, uh, 300 years in the making. And this curse’s witch…
Wait.
Little rusty over there buddy?
No, no I got this.
This nightmare is over 300 years in the making, and it has everything you could want in a scary story:
A witch’s curse, serial killers, a town rivalry, and the most horrifying thing of all, high school romance.
I call it –
Ok wait a minute. You call it?
Ok ok fine.
Netflix calls it “Fear Street”
It all starts in 1666, when the pastor in the settlement of Union mysteriously becomes possessed.
He murders 12 children and gouges out their eyes.
The townspeople think a witch is amongst them, with all fingers pointing to Sarah Fier.
They hang her for witchcraft, but not before she vows to place a curse on their settlement.
After the hanging the disturbed Union settlement splits into two towns: Sunnyvale, and Shadyside.
Over the next three centuries, Sunnyvale prospers.
While Shadyside becomes the serial killer capital of the whole country.
Each one is deadlier than the last, all because of Sarah Fier’s curse.
Ok whoa.
Ha! You’re afraid.
No.
You are.
I was being supportive.
So anyway,
the latest Shadyside killer is Ryan Torres, who suddenly flips out and goes on a total mall slashing spree.
Ryan’s rampage only ends when Sheriff Nick Goode takes him down.
It’s yet another heroic moment for Sheriff Goode, the town’s golden boy.
Now, most Shadyside kids think Ryan is the latest victim of Sarah Fier’s curse.
Possessed by the witch herself, so she can continue exacting revenge.
But Deena Johnson isn’t convinced.
The dude was probably just some sad sack who hated his life just like the rest of us.
There’s no angry dead witch who made him go postal.
The only thing that made him go crazy is this town.
That night, Deena and the Shadyside kids go to Sunnyvale High for a vigil to honour the mall victims.
But the town rivalry runs deep, and a fight breaks out.
But it doesn’t end there.
A car full of Sunnyvale kids, including Deena’s ex-girlfriend Sam, tail the Shadyside bus,
taunting them by wearing the same skull mask Ryan Torres wore.
Sam, what, what... what are you doing?
Sam stumbles out of the wreckage, covered in her own blood.
But then, when Sam’s bloody hand touches that exact spot in the woods
she has a vision of Sarah Fier.
Whoa!
Nice.
And that sets off a chain of events, so shocking, so unbelievable -
Whoa! Ok wait a minute what was that?!
I’m hoping a beaver.
Uh, no. Or a a spooky ass witch that wants to curse us too! Nuh-uh, let’s go.
Yeah, I better finish this part from the car.
Yeah, definitely.
