It seems to be evoking some entertaining, scary horror alongside fun ’90s nostalgia. The trailer is playing with horror movie tropes, from Scream to Nightmare on Elm Street to Friday the 13th.
The movie series looks like a lot of fun and a great adaptation of the series. They were thrilling and paranormal, and featured dramatic twists and dark storylines. They had all the spark and campy fun of the classic ’90s slashers. Tween me would check them out seven at a time from my local library, search for them at used bookstores, and devour them. They were the height of teen horror, alongside other classic authors such as Christopher Pike, Lois Duncan, and Diane Hoh. By 2010, the Fear Street books had sold 80 million copies. Stine released 51 Fear Street books, and there were several spin-off series as well.
Stine has said that in the ’90s, he would release a dozen Goosebumps and a dozen Fear Street books a year. The first, The New Girl, was published in 1989 - and after that, a book came out almost every month. The characters (teenage protagonists) change with each book, although some characters or storylines recur, and some are paranormal, while others are just murder mysteries. All the books take place in Shadyside, a suburban town haunted by an old curse.
If you didn’t read Fear Street as a tween or teen too late at night, scaring yourself, you haven’t truly lived.
