Fear Street Part 1: 1994 trailer: R.L. Stine movie reaches Netflix on Friday

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Director Leigh Janiak shot a trilogy of films based on the Fear Street book series written by R.L. Stine back-to-back-to-back, and Netflix will be releasing them over the course of three weeks in July. Two trailers have been released for this Fear Street "film trilogy event", both of them focusing all three movies, but now it looks like Netflix is going to start releasing trailers for the individual films as well. First up is Fear Street Part 1: 1994, and you can see the trailer for this one in the embed above.

The trilogy trailers are embedded below.

Fear Street Part 1: 1994 will be available to watch on the Netflix streaming service as of July 2nd. Fear Street Part 2: 1978 follows on July 9th, and Fear Street Part 3: 1666 wraps things up on July 16th.

Janiak co-wrote all three films, crafting the story for part 1 with Kyle Killen and Phil Graziadei and part 2 with Graziadei and Zak Olkewicz. Janiak then wrote part 1 with Graziadei, part 2 with Olkewicz, and part 3 with Graziadei and Kate Trefry.

In 1994, a group of teenagers discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected — and that they may be the next targets. Based on R.L. Stine’s best selling horror series, the trilogy follows the nightmare through Shadyside’s sinister history.

The trilogy was produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and David Ready. Kori Adelson produced 1666 and executive produced the other two. Janiak executive produced the trilogy with Timothy M. Bourne, Yvonne M. Bernard, Joan Waricha, and Jane Stine.

1994 stars Kiana Madeira, Olivia Scott Welch, Benjamin Flores Jr., Julia Rehwald, Fred Hechinger, Ashley Zukerman, Maya Hawke, Darrell Britt-Gibson, Jordana Spiro, Jordyn DiNatale, and Jeremy Ford. 

All three Fear Street movies have been rated R. The reasoning for 1994's R rating is "strong bloody violence, drug content, language and some sexual content."

I've never been a Fear Street reader, but I am very interested in checking these movies out.
