As a child of the era where Fear Street books were as prevalent as Calvin & Hobbes collections at the book fair, seeing Netflix release its 2021 trilogy of terrifying adaptations made my dark heart melt. Going into the 2025 movie schedule, that flame reignited when Fear Street: Prom Queen’s announcement video promised a new entry for a May debut.

Netflix is taking its Fear Street franchise to the 1980s. The first trailer for the next installment in the wildly popular series, Fear Street:Prom Queen, has just been released, showing (and perhaps reminding) audiences how much it meant for some to be crowned Prom Queen back in the late '80s.
