“Spoilers ahead,” Sadie Sink cautions.
All three films in Netflix and director Leigh Janiak‘s Fear Street franchise are now streaming on Netflix, with Fear Street Part 1: 1994 kicking things off and both Fear Street Part 2: 1978 and Fear Street Part 3: 1666 mostly serving as prequel tales that build out the mythology and ultimately bring the story to its conclusion. The films pay tribute to ’90s horror and the “Golden Age” of slasher cinema, for starters, with Easter Eggs and fun tributes throughout.
In this new video from Netflix, Fear Street Part 2: 1978 (and “Stranger Things”) star Sadie Sink takes a look at a handful of Easter Eggs, which pay homage to everything from R.L. Stine‘s original teen horror books to Wes Craven’s Scream, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Shining, and even Terrence Malick’s 2005 movie The New World. Go figure on that last one, eh?!
Sink also looks at some of the plot parallels between the three Fear Street movies, which come into much clearer focus when you revisit the first two films after finishing the trilogy.
