Fear Street fans rejoice! A new film is on the way. Back in November, Netflix’s Head of Film surprised fans when he revealed that a new stand-alone film based on R.L.
Stine’s hit book series was in the works. “Obviously, there’s lots of books. There’s one stand-alone that we’re working on right now that we’re once again trying to get the script right, but I like it very much, and so does the team,” he revealed to Collider. “So I feel like we can get the script right there would be a great kind of extension of that franchise.” Since that fateful day, both Netflix and Stine have remained tight-lipped on the upcoming film… until now.
On 13 January, the popular horror author revealed on X – formerly known as Twitter – that the upcoming Fear Street movie is set to adapt his hit book, The Prom Queen. “Movie News: I can finally announce that a new Fear Street movie is about to go into production for Netflix.
It’s based on my Fear Street book, The Prom Queen. Good news,” he wrote. Originally released in 1992, the story follows Lizzie McVay, a student at Shadyside High whose campaigning for prom queen.
