As part of Netflix’s Geeked Week (@NetflixGeeked) the streaming giant unveiled not only the trailer for the Fear Street Trilogy, but some Fear Street images as well.
Leigh Janiak weighed on her role as director for this first of a kind trilogy event.
As a filmmaker making Fear Street, but also just as a movie lover, I was so excited to pay homage to some of the great eras of horror movies. For 1994, Scream stood above all rest — it’s peak ’90s horror and, I think, one of the most brilliant movies ever made, period. Then for 1978, I got to look at the heyday of slasher films — Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street. For 1666…I found the best inspiration for me lay in the beautiful world made rotten of Terence Malick’s The New World.
Leigh Janiak, Director of the Fear Street trilogy
The Fear Street movies are based on the best-selling horror series from R.L. Stine. He goes on to say:
The thing that ties Fear Street to people all over the world is that we all have the same fears. It doesn’t matter what country you’re in, everyone is afraid of the dark, or afraid somebody’s lurking in the closet, or afraid of being in some strange new place they’ve never been before. We all have the same fears.
R.L. Stine, Author of the best-selling horror series Fear Street
