RL Stine confirms "rumours" of more Fear Street movies on Netflix
Are you ready for another trip to Shadyside?
Horror novelist RL Stine has addressed rumours of future Fear Street movies, following on from the trilogy of films released last summer featuring Stranger Things stars Sadie Sink and Maya Hawke.
Based on the novels of the same name, the first three Fear Street movies told stories set in 1994, 1978 and 1666 respectively, all of which were linked by their shared setting: the cursed town of Shadyside.
Stine is best known for his child-friendly Goosebumps series, but Fear Street is aimed at older audiences as it depicts more graphic acts of violence and darker storylines.
Last year's adaptations earned a positive response from critics and drew in strong viewership, with Stine now revealing that rumours of future Netflix instalments are not unfounded.

"There's still talk about more Goosebumps movies, and I also hear rumours about more Fear Street movies for Netflix because the first ones did so well last summer," he told Yahoo! Entertainment.

"Those films kind of shocked me, because they were all R-rated, and I've never done anything R-rated! All those teenagers were getting slashed. I was like, 'Suddenly, I have a slasher movie!'"
If more Fear Street movies were to be produced, the anthology format means they could very well have an all-new cast, although no doubt Netflix would love to tempt back Sink following her star-making turn in Stranger Things season 4.
Arguably, she was the biggest breakout star in a season that had several, with viewers gripped by her heart-wrenching storyline which touched on themes of depression and made powerful use of Kate Bush song Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God).
