RL Stine teases new ‘Fear Street’ movie, to be based on his 1992 novel

Horror books author RL Stine, on Saturday, revealed that a new Fear Street movie is in production at Netflix. As per reports, the film is set to take inspiration from Stine’s 1992 novel ‘The Prom Queen’, which is a part of his Fear Street book series.

“Movie News: I can finally announce that a new Fear Street movie is about to go into production for Netflix,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “It’s based on my Fear Street book, The Prom Queen. Good news!”

The new project means that there will be a fourth Fear Street movie that will be adapted from Stine’s popular book series – a trilogy that consists of ‘Fear Street Part One: 1994,’ ‘Fear Street Part Two: 1978,’ and ‘Fear Street Part Three: 1666.’ The trilogy was previously released on Netflix in 2021. Directed by Leigh Janiak, the trilogy followed a ““group of teenagers who discover terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected.”

While only a few details have been released about the new project, the book’s official description, posted on Stine’s website, reads, “A spring night…soft moonlight…five beautiful Prom Queen candidates…dancing couples at the Shadyside High prom — these should be the ingredients for romance. But stir in one brutal murder — then another, and another — and the recipe quickly turns to horror. Lizzie McVay realizes that someone is murdering the five Prom Queen candidates one by one — and that she may be next on the list! Can she stop the murderer before the dance is over — for good?”

Hints about this new project were dropped by Netflix back in November when it confirmed that a standalone Fear Street film was in the works, the movie will be based on a specific book.

“Obviously, there’s a lot of books,” Netflix’s Head of Film Scott Stuber previously said in a Collider interview. “There’s one standalone that we’re working on right now that we’re once again trying to get the script right, but I like it very much, and so does the team. So I feel like if we can get that script right there would be a great kind of extension of that franchise.”
