Netflix is getting ready to welcome viewers back to Shadyside this year with brand new movie Fear Street: Prom Queen, but Fear Street series author R.L. Stine has revealed to THR that planning is underway on three more Fear Street movies.
“The writers are working,” Stine told the outlet. “So I’ve got my fingers crossed.”
Considering there are over 50 novels included in the original Fear Street series, there are a lot of stories to mine for feature adaptations. The author didn’t divulge any additional details, either, including whether the three new movies will be tied to Leigh Janiak’s trilogy or the upcoming Prom Queen, though it seems likely. We do know that Fear Street: Prom Queen will be nestled between the events of Fear Street: 1994 and Fear Street: 1978. Matt Palmer (Calibre) is directing the franchise’s upcoming fourth installment.
The Fear Street Trilogy was released as an epic summer movie event over three consecutive weeks in July 2021. The acclaimed films – Part 1: 1994, Part 2: 1978, and Part 3: 1666 – spent 12 collective weeks on the Netflix Top 10.
The surprise reveal that a new trio of Fear Street movies is in development arrives as Stine is doing press for the brand new season “Goosebumps: The Vanishing.” Stine amusingly broke down the difference between his Fear Street series, targeting an older teen demographic, versus the middle school-aged Goosebumps.
“The thing about Goosebumps is that no one ever dies. That’s the difference between Goosebumps and Fear Street [where] we kill off teenagers, right and left. We kill them all. Everyone loves it when you kill teenagers,” the author told THR.
The new season adapts Stay Out of the Basement, The Haunted Car, Monster Blood, The Girl Who Cried Monster, The Ghost Next Door, and Welcome To Camp Nightmare. As for the new Fear Street movies, which novels would you like to see adapted next?

After delivering one of the year’s best films, I Saw the TV Glow filmmaker Jane Shoenbrun is already working on their next feature project in Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. At a recent screening, Schoenbrun teased more details about the film’s grisly and funny story.
It’s Schoenbrun’s description that has our curiosity piqued. Film critic Siddhant Adlakha, attending the event, shared on social media that Schoenbrun described the upcoming film as “Portrait of a Lady on Fire set in a Friday the 13th sequel.“
The film’s plot, revealed earlier this year by the New Yorker, follows “a queer filmmaker hired to direct a new installment of a long-running slasher franchise. The director fixates on the prospect of casting the ‘final girl‘ from the original movie, and the two women descend into a frenzy of psychosexual mania.”
That premise alone sounds like an exciting and subversive approach to the slasher that’s also in line with the themes explored in Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair. Additional comments about the film to Filmmaker Magazine drive home the “psychosexual mania“ aspect of the plot. The filmmaker told the outlet, “My next movie is all about sex––essentially a movie about learning to enjoy sex after transition. Pre-transition, it wasn’t that I was asexual––I had plenty of desire––but having good sex in the wrong body was impossible. What was available was full dissociation, which is obviously a theme in the first two films.”
Furthermore, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma will honor and critique the “gender deviance“ associated with some of horror’s memorable killers, from Psycho to Silence of the Lambs, that “created and codified an idea of transness as monstrous.“
While the project still appears to be in its early stages, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma already sounds like a unique take on the slasher subgenre. While we wait for updates on Schoenbrun’s third effort, you can now stream I Saw the TV Glow on Max.
