A new standalone Fear Street movie, based on the novels by R.L. Stine, is in the works at Netflix.
The R.L. Stine novels in question are a series of horror books written for and centered on teenagers. The stories are set in a town called Shadyside, which is filled with murders, paranormal activity, and unexplained happenings. The first book was published in 1989.
Stuber also wants to further Netflix’s growth in the horror genre, explaining, “I’d like us to find our own Freddy Krueger, our own Jason, our own kind of iconic horror character, and we haven’t really honed in on that yet. So the team is working hard on that because I think there’s a real opportunity there. You know, you’ve got so many great characters.”
The Fear Street trilogy is streaming on Netflix now. For more, check out our list of thebest Netflix moviesto stream right now.
