One of the coolest things that happened last year was Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, which gave us three different slasher movies set across three different decades, released onto the streaming service in three consecutive weeks. While everyone had their personal favorites, most horror fans agreed that Fear Street was a three-week event that held many […]
Here on Bloody Disgusting we’ve published several articles (find them all here) covering *our* favorite horror movies of last year, but it’s always interesting to take a look at year-in-review roundups from other places as well. Letterboxd, for example, kicks off each new year by spotlighting the previous year’s top hits, and their full 2021 Year […]
Between a global pandemic that we’re still in the midst of and the increasing library of titles available for streaming, 2021 has been a strange comeback year for the movies.

Making a movie is a truly intimate experience that can often be likened to summer camp. While it is work and oftentimes grueling, the cast and crew form bonds that can last a lifetime. Netflix was a participant in the San Diego Comic-Con virtual edition, and since the streamer’s Fear Street trilogy is already out, […]
Queer Street. It’s not often that a popular IP gets adapted with explicit queer content added in, but that’s exactly what happened with Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy, a groundbreaking event that puts two queer characters front-and-center in a major horror release. Now that all three films have been released, we’re releasing a spoiler-filled interview with the […]
A woman fearful she’ll lose all she holds near and dear. A man with a knife or an ax or a couple of lacerating words as his weapon. That’s usually how most horror flicks start. The woman runs for dear life only to not run fast enough. The killer catches her; cue the opening title […]
One of the more ambitious horror projects to come along in recent years, Netflix‘s three Fear Street movies were shot back-to-back by director Leigh Janiak, who played with different tones, styles, time periods, and subgenres throughout the trilogy. The story wrapped up in Fear Street Part 3: 1666, but there’s endless potential for the future […]
With the entire trilogy now streaming on Netflix, Waxwork Records has announced today that the soundtracks for all three Fear Street movies are being released on vinyl.
