FEAR STREET (2021) Trilogy Explained 

I'm still chuckling at the fact that Sunnyvale is about to probably get hit by a load of misfortune to make up for all the shit Shadysiders had to put up with for centuries.

The fear street books were often extremely gory, especially the death scenes. They were nothing like the goosebumps series except that they were both technically horror for kids. But fear street was more for teenagers leaning towards young adults while goosebumps was more for 8 to 12.

I was so upset when Kate and Simon died, they were my favorite of the friends. Especially Simon. “We have to clear her air way”

Josh was the best character in the trilogy. I liked his lowkey character arc that they gave him of gaining more courage. Also, they would literally have not gotten through anything without his plans.

man that breadslicer scene really made me recoil at just how gruesome and shocking it was because up until that point we hadnt really seen someone important get doinked and I thought this movie would cheesily let them survive now that theyve atleast gotten this far and had so much character development. Boy was i wrong

I feel this trilogy is very different from any other trilogy in that connected, it feels like one long 6 hour movie. And that's exactly how I watched it. I get how Netflix spread it out over three weeks, but the flow of it and payoffs from previous movie when watched all at once, makes for a way better and more satisfying experience.

This really felt like a love letter to the adults who were R.L. Stine fans as kids, which is why I appreciated the adult content. It was nostalgic enough to bring me back to being terrified while reading one of his books under the covers, but definitely didn't feel like it was meant for a younger audience.

I'm still in shock from Kate's death. I loved her as a character, but goddamn her death was bloody gruesome and creative.

Really enjoyed this trilogy! It’s like a rated R Goosebumps experience! Definitely a great introduction to horror for people curious about the genre while also having solid atmosphere and references for veteran Horror-Heads. Would love more of these "extended" movies going forward! Now to watch the vid lol!

We also finally get a Netflix movie for teens where the "teenagers" don't look like early 20s Instagram models

and they're the only ones who figured out the truth, since Sarah hundreds of years ago

“Put the hormones on hold, kids, there’s a Killer on the loose!” Riverside in a nutshell

I LOVED this trilogy I felt like they did a thorough job of connecting everything and explaining/showing all the little details that came full circle. I felt like every moment was important to absorb to piece everything together and things moved quickly because of that (didn't think the story dragged). As others have mentioned I'd love for the other notable serial killers that were prominently featured on screen to have their stories told but only if they're told in order and open and shut such that they don't create holes in the trilogy. However, wouldn't mind seeing the domino effect each has after the other as far as how it impacted the residences like Ruby Lane clearly did with her mom.

I love that the ending was a call back to Sarah saying that one day her and Hannah would live out their promise of being together in the daylight :’)))

I was so confused why everyone gets stabbed in the stomach and run around like it was a flesh wound

It’d be pretty cool if they made another movie solely for the killer’s backstories, I’d really be interested in the Grifter and that Babymask dude with the bat

1978 was my favourite too! Not for the nostalgia though, I just thought all the emotional beats were the strongest in the second part, Cindy really carried all of them for me personally (conversations with Alice in the caves, her reconciliation with Ziggy, her memories of Tommy as she killed him, etc etc)

That Kate kill really threw me off. I did NOT expect any of them to die because of the nature of the genre. I was ecstatic for a second cuz they weren't cowards and killed 'em, but then I realized I like Kate and was like awe man wait a second

I've personally never seen the trilogy for myself, but after watching this, it really is reminiscent of the Goosebumps books I read as a kid.

I really wanna see Billy's story and ruby's although ruby basically just killed her boyfriend and friends at a party so technically its just "scream" lol but I think the trilogy was very well executed and the actress who played younger ziggy is definitely gonna be a well known actress throughout her life!

It's important to note that adults do NOT step in at all during the events of this show.

At first it seems like younger horror, until you see the deaths. They get freaking graphic.

Anyone else realize that the curse ends when Sam, a former Shadysider but now a Sunnyvaler, is targeted by the curse?

Anyone else notice at 40:09 the video plays the same audio twice lmao!

We need more horror trilogies like this good plot, great pacing, and that twist *chefs kiss*

I throughly enjoyed how the story was told. Anyone notice how the killings at first felt like someone’s nightmare and then you are hit really hard with how real they were?

Characters changing their names from "Fier" to "Fear" feels like someone going from "Eval" to "Evil."

1666, Solomon didn't give Sarah a knife, he gave her a case. Though I'm glad you caught the "blood will fall" point of the nose bleeds

Foundflix repeats the line “and they’re are the only ones to find out since Sarah hundreds of years ago” I wonder why

Fear Street is basically Goosebumps meet Halloween

American horror story needs to take notes. This was really well done. I love horror movies/shows that show character development and have an actual good plot.

I also thought it was interesting how the person who does the summoning isn’t automatically protected from the killers and can be put in harms way. When the young Nick summoned Tommy and Tommy almost ends up killing him.

Them being the only ones to find out the truth since Sarah hundreds of years ago was so important it was said twice

I hope the rest of the ghosts get their own stories in the series. Like that creepy mask wearing kid with the baseball bat *shudders* 😳

My 1 sole question is how the f*** does Simon walk and run just fine after his achilles tendon gets clearly sliced without any real medical attention?

I felt the series as a whole was *chefs kiss* The twists, the kills, the suspense. Loved it.

My favorite of the trilogy is 1978 too, which is odd for me cause I never liked summer camp horror, but the supernatural side of this won me over. And I kinda fell in love with Tommy Slater and his super sad story, and the fact that’s it’s one of my fear, that my boyfriend turns on me

I was waiting for this video ever since I finished the series, I love how you summarize movies and explaining the endings

Respect to them for also killing off main characters. A lot of horror movies in this style tend to keep the good guys alive for the entire film. It takes balls to do that and they pulled it off.

I really liked how they gave Sam a gender neutral name and for the first 15 minutes you thought Sam was a boy. Very exciting surprise to see the main characters being gay and it not being used as a personality trait!

As a avid book reader I don’t like how the Fiers are treated as innocents. In the books both families did bad things and that would have been the only thing I would change

One day at Horrorland was really unsettling to read. It was a psychological thriller and I felt panic as soon as they lost their parents. I hope they make a movie about it

Ruby and that little boy was the scariest to me. Omg it gave me chills. I really hope they make a show explaining how they became killers. Like episodes dedicated to each killer and their life leading up to the killings.

i just realized the attempt at bookends with the first knife attack being 'dodged' by a book, and Deena using a similar tactic at the very end of the trilogy.

Compared to Goosebumps, the fear street books were NOT tame. There’s a handful of deaths in them that still are super memorable to me. The gateway was definitely already opened if you were reading Fear Street. Haha.

Yeah everybody was telling me they like the 1978 short. Even though it was the 1970s it definitely had a 1980s slasher vibe to it.

That pastor scene with the thudding he was doing really got my skin crawling

In my opinion, these people were definitely the most pivotal part of uncovering Sarah's whole truth and story and need all the love they deserve: Deena: She literally possesses Sarah Fier to learn the truth and kills Goode....I think that's enough said. Sam: Was technically the one who found where Sarah's body was really buried. Alice: Solved the whole nursery rhyme part about her hand and found it so that Deena and the others could reunite it with the body and go back to 1666 to learn the truth. Christine(Ziggy) and Cindy: While Cindy did die, she was still the one who uncovered the whole cave and navigated her way through it in 1978. Ziggy basically told the whole events of 1978 and was the one who told Deena and Josh were the hand was. Nick (no, this one doesn't need love): If you think about it, it was technically Nick who brought his own downfall by choosing to revive Ziggy in 1978, helping Deena and Josh learn the truth about the Goode Family

The third movie/entry was my favorite. I loved seeing the 1600s and how things happened. I cried buckets when Sarah Fier was hung! She had been through so much. She deserved a happier ending.

I loved reading the Fear Street Cheerleaders when I was a teen! The 3rd book is my fave!

The trilogy was actually interesting…I watched it with my parents who weren’t impressed until 1978…after the opening to 1978 they were hooked lmao

two things i have noticed after watching the trilogy & then this: initially it seems merciful that nick doesn't want ziggy dead, but she lives the rest of her life in complete fear & isolation. there could have been much more he could've done to help & comfort her, instead he continues to be entitled & selfish & doing the bare minimum. practically psychological torture to leave the note "it's happening again"... why tell her if she's not in direct fire of the undead. they only care about getting that one person, so why tell ziggy? second thing that intrigues me is ruby lane's self harm cuts she used to commit suicide. every other undead being had to be taken out by outside means or otherwise demanifested i assume. does this means that ruby was able to snap out of it at some level? whether she was was just horrified by the killing & wanted to end things or, thought that suicide might be the only way to end the killings because she otherwise knew she didn't have control for much longer? much to think about.

I love how the ending track, The Man Who Sold the World (both Nirvanas cover and David Bowie’s original) for both 1994 and 1978 hinted at the reveal at the end.

I love this trilogy, the only problem for me is that they kill good characters (like Kate or Cindy).

This was an AMAZING trilogy, me and my roommate binged the whole thing in one sitting. It was a genuine experience both of us trying to piece together the mystery; screaming at the twists and cheering when we guessed right; not to mention all the characters were compelling & the gore effects were impressive. Finishing it, we loved pointing out all the foreshadowing and connections from the very beginning. There was never really a dull scene, unless you count the sex scenes which were kinda softcore porn i didn't really like, but otherwise it had a good mix of adult and young adult themes. I used to read these sorts of series as a kid and personally Goosebumps were for younger kids getting into horror while Fear Street was like the next level- relating more to teens growing into young adults. Which the movies really reflected.

I watched this as soon as it came out lol.I read R.L.Stine religiously when i was younger. I also couldn't help but notice that in the camp episode, shadyside had more people of color and wonder if that was an intentional or unintentional production choice. Either way I plan on owning this trilogy. It actually had me on the edge of my seat.

This series was sssoooo good. When I saw R.L. Stine's name but that it was a rated R horror trilogy? I was in! Kate's death was definitely the most shocking even above the childrens deaths. I loved that twist ending I never saw it coming.

I wouldn't touch the Goosebumps books as a kid because the covers scared me so much, but my favorite Fear Street books (out of the three or four I've read, lol) are The Runaway and The Prom Queen. I have my fingers crossed that they get adaptations some time soon!

Say cheese and die again was my favorite goosebumps book. They truly outdid themselves on this trilogy and i hope to see more!

i love how they made it into 3 movies instead of a series. imagine waiting for the seasons to come out

What if the R. L. Stine Cinematic Universe is a combination of Goosebumps stories and Fear Street stories all set in one universe of terror?

I'll be honest I saw this was a trilogy and thought to myself "I can't wait till Foundflix does a video on this". Goosebumps for the win people!

I would love to see another trilogy based off the 99 fear street trilogy of books. It's dedicated to a single house on fear street with a crazy history and a curse of its own. I loved reading it when I was younger. It has a very serious tone but it's easy for teens to relate to it.

NGL, while I figured out the Goode Family had something to do with the curse origins, the Camp episode made me think that while young Nick knew about it, he didn't want to be part of it and it was his brother carrying on the "tradition". So the truth did catch me off guard.

"And they are the ONLY ones that found out the truth since SARAH hundreds of years ago" When he said that i felt it

I really enjoyed it. I read a lot of the Fear Street books when I was a teenager and they were new. I loved a few of the easter eggs that were sprinkled through the trilogy, like the name Deena being a reference to one of the main characters in The Wrong Number (the book seen at the beginning of the 94 chapter).

This series is the first horror media in years that actually had me unsettled. The second part was my favorite, I love the ‘retro summer camp horror’ aesthetic. Makes me miss reading RL Stine’s book as a kid

I love how the characters are immune from dying by getting stabbed.......

My favorite goosebumps books were the ones with Slappy the dummy and the one with the evil sponge 🧽🤣

Love the fear street series. I didn’t expect it to be that brutal but good. 1978 is my favorite out of the "three." The ending… made me question if there might be more or just a never ending cycle with the book.

I wonder how many people actually understand how much time and effort this video must have taken to make.....all I have to say is .... INCREDIBLE

I like how it isn’t afraid to get a bit gruesome. They know their audience well. Goosebumps always felt like a great entrance into the horror genre because it didn’t underestimate kids intelligence or bravery, and I like how this stayed true to the books.

i actually really enjoyed this trilogy even though i normally hate netflix original movies

Sam went through so much abuse in these movies lol the fact she's still standing at the end of even the first one is ridiculous. But I adored this trilogy

The actor who plays Dina - her characters always get the crappy deal in life. I really like her as an actor.

Dude I want Dead Meat to cover this trilogy so badly JUST to hear James go “oh tats naice” anytime Deena and Sam have a moment

Yeah "One Day at Horrorland" was a wonderful and hilarious book.

This gave me everything I would’ve asked for. I appreciated it so much, plus there was essentially no plot armor and everything made sense. I loved it.

At 40:10 i thought i was stuck in the matrix😂💀

Just watched it yesterday and I have some questions and thoughts. Why didn't all the killers appear? Why only some. And how many killer were there? There seemed to be 3+ stones full of names on them, the names of the killers. But this can't be as there was alot of names per stone. The victims names aren't written so it wasn't them. Why did the killers avoid some people are then kill others? The killer ran past Josh, Simon and Kate in the hospital and Josh in the woods, but killed the cops in the mall and the nurses in the hospital, as well as Sam's bf. Its not like these people had Sam's blood on them. Seems if you have plot armour, you won't get killed, even if you were fighting the killers minutes before. Why doesn't bleeding on Sarah Fier's bones give more info and why didn't Ziggy get more info? Surely the one person who survived the killers would be a good asset to take down Goode, especially since he was so young. If Nick wanted to be with Ziggy, why didn't he date her? He knew the killers wouldn't come after her, but he let live in fear anyway. What happened to Nick Goode's brother, the mayor? Just because Nick died, doesn't mean his brother can't continue the legacy. I would've thought because their is still an heir, the curse wouldn't just dissappear.

FoundFlix being a Talking Heads fan warms my soul. We all need More Songs about Buildings and Food.

Wait, they DIDN'T immediately try suffocating Sam and giving her mouth to mouth? Like yeah, it's rough, but you can do it with a plastic bag and you just need chest compressions and mouth to mouth to revive her?

“Oh no, she drowned! What should we try, the Epi-Pens or CPR?” “Hm, try the Epi-Pens.” “Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.”

The details in this were pretty good. For instance, after the hospital scenes in 94, when the sheriff notices the blood down the street where the kids shot Ruby Lane, you can see he walks with a slight limp. Then in 86 we find out why. Pretty cool

I read allll the goosebumps books I could get my hands on and tons of the fear street books. I still have mine thankfully. My favorite goosebumps book is Ghost Beach freaked out 7-8-year-old me! Would love to see a rated R version of all the goosebumps books & fear street books.

I grew up reading every fear street book I could get my hands on! I must of read almost every single Fear Street book written by RL Stine except 9 books. This movie or should I actually say all 3 movies, where done very, very well. I absolutely loved it! Thankyou also for putting this on your list. 🥰💖👍 love your channel as always! Foudflix is the best! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Really enjoyed the trilogy. The beginning of the first reminded me a lot of Scream, probably my favorite horror trilogy (original 3). Edit: Lol, the Casey reference.

It sucks how many lame rip off channels popped up just to steal ur idea and use a robot voice. It honestly would be quite endearing if not for the fact that every one f the recap channels are doin it the most profitable least amount of effort content, some of the copy cat Chanel’s that just took ur whole thing, are all over the place and they mostly do it lazy as possible. None of them credit u either even tho it’s clear the idea was to just take ur content copy paste it to less known movies and use a robot to avoid anyone realizing that it’s some foreign group of peoples no do not care one single iota about making good content for their subs, they are looking for $$$ thats it. No soul no love or passion In their videos. You are the first and the greatest ! Keep it up FF

The first entry in the trilogy I felt was the weakest, mainly because of Deana. I don't mind the fact that they made her into a gaslighter in the beginning as that is an opportunity for character growth, but the movie never really addresses and brings it to a resolution so there is no real arc in her character. I will say though it is a refreshing change of pace to have the trilogy get a happy ending. I like that Deana patched things up with Sam, and that Josh (aka the best character) got to finally meet Queen of Air and Darkness....Although, if they make a sequel trilogy, I hope that they don't mess with her and josh's relationship.

Dude I LOVE Fear Street (especially part 2) I wish they showed more of the killer fight scene. I think the sequels should focus more on the other murders. There were like 50 names on the wall, they could make a TV show with each episode making up one of the murders... Or something like that. I just want to have them go into more detail about the previous murders

The trilogy was a blast. I definitely liked how they were telling the story backwards as the characters revealing the story, takes you on a ride.

“A mustache cop,” lol. Definitely a must watch because it’s so good. Kates death definitely got me because it was so gruesome but original.

I really enjoyed this movie, it was fresh and really liked the three parts and ending was great to me.

do you have any intention of covering Old? It doesn't really need one but I'd listen to you talk about anything really.

My Inner Gordon Ramsay: *Finally, some good fucking food!* these movies are just right.

Always will be a top 10 for me. This series was golden. I forgot about the books so I'm absolutely devastated att they years I coulda been reading this series, and the goosebumps books I missed along the way. There's always down the road

my suspension of disbelief is always broken when the 95 lb MC gains the ability to throw around the killer who has been taking down full grown adults. Sadge.

I really liked this trilogy. Really interesting story.

I remember going from RL's C.Y.A. goosebump series to Fear Street: The Girlfriend. To keep it spoiler-free, it was fucking jarring compared to any of the goosebumps stories.

This show is based on a book by RL Stine called Betrayal! All 3 stories are in the book but it starts with the 1666 story and fleshes it out from there. Also there are no weird killers in the book but the Feir (Fear) family is ALWAYS killed in some brutal fashion with no real killer in sight…they just assume they’re cursed (they kinda are) but in the end we find out that the Goodes have been behind everything that happens to the Fear families every single time
