The Fear Street trilogy is a series of American horror films based on R.L. Stine’s book series, blending slasher and supernatural elements. Released on Netflix in July 2021, the trilogy follows a group of teenagers in the cursed town of Shadyside as they confront a centuries-old witch’s curse responsible for a string of brutal murders. The story unfolds in reverse chronological order across three films set in 1994, 1978, and 1666, revealing the dark history behind the curse and the characters’ desperate fight to break it. Praised for its mix of horror, suspense, and a heartfelt queer love story at its core, the trilogy offers a fresh take on classic slasher tropes with a strong emotional center and nostalgic nods to 90s horror fans.
