Dalton (!) bookstore at Shadyside Mall, where a cashier-played by Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke-is ringing up her last customer of the night: a middle aged woman buying a copy of The Wrong Number, a teen horror novel by Robert Lawrence. But this film isn’t a nostalgia trip, like Netflix’s ’80s-worshipping SF/horror series Stranger Things its references are, for the most part, subtler and more entertaining.
Hawkins’ “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover,” among other tunes. Fear Street had Stine's knack for unconventional scares and sharp sense of humor, but aimed at an older teen audience, they were darker, more violent horror tales set in the fictional town of Shadyside, Ohio where all kinds of nightmares lie in wait.As the title indicates, the first film takes place in the ’90s, and director/co-writer Leigh Janiak drives this point home by somewhat excessively loading up the soundtrack with classic songs from the era-the movie’s first 20 minutes, for instance, feature Nine Inch Nails’ “Closer,” Bush’s “Machinehead,” Portishead’s “Sour Times,” Cypress Hill’s “Insane in the Brain,” and Sophie B. The trilogy is inspired by the horror book series Stine launched before his career skyrocketed with the similar, but aged-down horror series for kids, Goosebumps.

We don't know the details on what Fear Street stories Janiak's films are turning to for inspiration, but reportedly headed up a writers room to craft three stories that take place in different time periods. As previously reported, Honeymoon helmer Leigh Janiak is directing the first and third films in the planned Fear Street trilogy, which will be released in theaters next year as a series, each film released a month after the previous title as a sort of "bingeable" film franchise.
