Fear Street Part 1: 1994 Trailer Delivers Glorious '90s Slasher Movie Vibes

Comments

The final trailer for Fear Street Part 1: 1994 has been released. The first part of the three-movie adaptation of RL Stein's hugely popular young adult horror series hits Netflix this Friday, July 2.

While previous Fear Street trailers intercut scenes from all three films, this one focuses purely on the first instalment. The movie is set in Shadyside, an Ohio town that supposedly carries a centuries-old curse. The town's teenagers don't believe in these myths, but when a masked killer starts picking off their friends, they are forced to look into Shadyside's dark secrets.

The trailer suggests that the movie will be heavily influenced by '90s slashers such as Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, and after so many '80s-set horror films and shows, it'll be fun to watch something inspired by the hugely successful scary movies of the following decade. Check it out below:

The cast of Fear Street Part 1: 1994 includes Maya Hawke (Stranger Things), Kiana Madeira (Trinkets), Olivia Welch (Agent Carter), and teen rapper Benjamin Flores Jr. (aka Lil' P-Nut). It will be followed Fear Street Part 2: 1978 on July 9 and Fear Street Part 3: 1666 on July 16. All three movies are directed by Leigh Janiak.

Stein's first Fear Street book, The New Girl, was published in 1989. It was followed by 50 follow-up novels, plus several spin-off series. It stands as one of the best selling young adult book series of all time.
