Trailer For R.L. Stine's Horror Thriller FEAR STREET PART TWO: 1978 - "One Way or Another, You're Gonna Die Tonight"
Netflix has released the trailer for the second film in the upcoming Fear Street horror trilogy, Fear Street Part Two: 1978. These films are based on R.L. Stine’s classic YA horror novel series, and I’m excited to watch the next chapter of the story! I enjoyed the hell out of the first movie, and this second chapter of the looks like it’s gonna be great!
In Fear Street: 1978, “Camp Nightwing is divided by the campers and counselors who hail from the prosperous town of Sunnyvale and the campers and maintenance staffers from the downtrodden town of Shadyside, but when horrors from their towns shared history come alive, they must band together to solve a terrifying mystery before it’s too late.”
The trilogy of films was directed by Leigh Janiak, and the ensemble cast includes Sadie Sink, Emily Rudd, McCabe Slye, and Gillian Jacobs. The film has an R-rating, and when talking about that rating, the director said:
"For me, they were always R-rated. That was always part of my vision of what the movies should be. I think it's important that slasher movies are very violent and very crazy with blood and gore and all of that. Also, just thematically, for me, I wanted the experience of the movies to be really fun and scary, but I also wanted the moments of violence to be real and disturbing and remind the audience that there's a real evil happening in Shadyside.
"It was always part of it, even though the books are a little more PG-13, I thought it was important to push us over into R. There were certainly conversations that happened, where people questioned and wondered, 'If we had a PG-13, would our audience be bigger?' Ultimately, everyone creatively understood that this is what makes sense and I feel really lucky that it was never a battle or anything, it was just a conversation that we would have."
Netflix will release Fear Street Part Two: 1978 on July 9th.
The three films are being released over the course of three weeks, and they will tell one killer story about the sinister history of the town of Shadyside. In 1994, a group of teenagers discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected. It’s a murder mystery horror story, and the group of teens that the story centers around may be the next targets.
In 1994, which is currently available to watch, “in the aftermath of a brutal tragedy in Shadyside, Ohio, a group of teens discover that a series of horrifying events that have plagued their town over many years might not be random, and that they may be the next victims.”
Fear Street - 1666 - In 1666, a colonial town is gripped by a hysterical witch-hunt that has deadly consequences for centuries to come, and it’s up to teenagers in 1994 to try and finally put an end to their town’s curse, before it’s too late.
Netflix will release Fear Street Part Three: 1666 on July 16th.
