Before it was a Netflix movie series, offered in three installments – 1994, 1978 and 1666, street of fear is a collection of novels written by RL Stine, author of Goosebumps.
After the success of the feature films released in 2021, the platform wants to renew the franchise with a fourth part, independent of the previous three, with new characters and a new story.
The information was published by Scott Stuber, director of Netflix’s film department. In an interview with Collider. The Fear Street collection contains more than 50 volumes, so obviously the platform is not lacking in options. The CEO says that the team is currently working on the script for the new film.
By relaunching this franchise, Netflix hopes to find its own horror icon: “I want us to find our own Freddy Krueger, our own Jason, this icon of horror, but we’re not there yet. The team is working hard because I believe this opportunity is real. There are so many good characters.“
It has to be said that while the horror genre has sometimes fallen on hard times, especially in the 2000s, it has never been as popular as it is today. The recent success of Blumhouse movies and the Scream reboot, among others, is testament to that.
On Netflix, this is even more true, as every creepy offering very often ends up in the top spots.
Author RL Stine continues to inspire movies and series. Recently, the Disney+ platform launched a new, darker and scarier version of Goosebumps as a series. A great surprise.
All three Fear Street movies are still available on Netflix.
