Now, we're not saying the other two movies in the Fear Street trilogy aren't worth watching because each has its moments as well. However, there's just something about 1978 that hits differently.

However, the common denominator is the setting, the town of Shadyside. Based on R.L. Stine’s novel, Fear Street: Prom Queen transports audiences to 1988.

Fear Street: Prom Queen fails to channel both the outrageous aesthetics and the brutal violence of the films it’s imitating, making this indifferently made exercise in YA horror supremely skippable.
