\n\tNetflix<\/a>\u2018s Fear Street<\/a>: Prom Queen has allowed fans to immerse themselves in high school nostalgia \u2014 onscreen and in real life.<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on author R.L. Stine\u2019s books, the fourth film in the streamer\u2019s slasher series began streaming Friday. Writer-director Matt Palmer\u2019s feature stars India Fowler, Suzanna Son, David Iacono, Ella Rubin, Ariana Greenblatt<\/a> and Rebecca Ablack. Set in 1988, the movie centers on teen girls disappearing from a popular clique at Shadyside High. <\/p>\n

\n\tDuring an interactive event that ran May 17-19, Netflix created a terrifying prom experience for visitors to the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles<\/a>. On May 18, Palmer and the cast attended the Shadyside High Senior Prom \u201988 experience as guests explored versions of the gymnasium, lockers, girls\u2019 bathroom and more locations designed to frighten fans. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFear Street is a beloved franchise, so our main goal was for the experience to mirror everything the fandom loves about the films in real life \u2014 terrifying jump scares, solving a mystery and wall-to-wall fun,\u201d says Netflix vp of films marketing Jonathan Helfgot.<\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix\u2019s previous Fear Street movies were each set in a different decade, and Prom Queen\u2019s 1980s milieu serves as an appropriate fit for this throwback event. The film series started with Fear Street Part One: 1994, released in July 2021.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEach film is set in a distinctive year, so we meticulously recreated Shadyside High circa 1988 so that fans could fully immerse themselves in the world of the story,\u201d Helfgot continues. \u201cThe payoff was magic. Whether it was cheering along to an impromptu dance-off or getting reprimanded by a strict teacher, everyone loved being at high school in the \u201980s for a night \u2014 even the fans who got chased out of the janitor\u2019s closet by an axe-wielding murderer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tFor The Hollywood Reporter\u2019s review<\/a> of Fear Street Part One: 1994, critic Lovia Gyarkye wrote that the project \u201cplays it relatively straight with its source material\u2019s tone and mood, honoring the delicate balance between horror and humor that continues to draw generations of young readers to Stine\u2019s work, while also paying homage to modern horror classics like\u00a0Scream.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix\u2018s Fear Street: Prom Queen has allowed fans to immerse themselves in high school nostalgia \u2014 onscreen and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":127191,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[56151,77,920,56152,556,3943,451,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-127190","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-ariana-greenblatt","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-events","11":"tag-fear-street","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-netflix","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114561193549071216","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127190","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=127190"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/127190\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/127191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=127190"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=127190"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=127190"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
