R.L. Stine's chilling stories return to Netflix in a new movie, Fear Street: Prom Queen. Based on Stine's 1992 book, The Prom Queen, the latest installment of the Fear Street franchise is the first to be based on a specific book.
Netflix and R.L. Stine go hand in hand after a trio of movies launched a new franchise for the streamer. The trilogy — Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978 and Fear Street: 1666 — were a delight for Stine's fans and a great way to introduce the beloved books and characters to legions of new fans.
"We're back in Shadyside and the year is 1988,” director and co-writer Matt Palmer told Tudum. “With Senior Prom just two days away the race for prom queen is already heating up, but when somebody starts slaughtering the prom queen candidates, all hell is set to break loose. Think classic 80s slasher and all the fun that entails, but with compelling characters, needle drops, dancing and a whole lot more!"
