Unlike the Goosebumps books, R.L. Stine‘s Fear Street novels were geared more towards a teen audience, and it looks like the property has done even more growing up over the years.
Directed by Leigh Janiak (Honeymoon) and based upon the groundbreaking teen horror Fear Street books by Stine, Netflix’s Fear Street Trilogy has officially been rated “R”!
Thus far we’ve been provided with ratings for two of the films…
- Fear Street Part 1: 1994 – “Rated R for strong bloody violence, drug content, language and some sexual content.”
- Fear Street Part 2: 1978 – “Rated R for bloody horror violence, sexual content, nudity, drug use, and language throughout.”
Stine had recently noted, “Fear Street fans are in for a treat – and some major surprises. Readers know that the book series is rated PG. But the movies are rated R. That means a lot more thrills – and a lot more terror! I have seen Leigh Janiak’s epic trilogy releasing on Netflix in July and I can tell you the scares and the SCREAMS are more than I ever expected.”
In the Fear Street trilogy, “In 1994, a group of teenagers discovers that the terrifying events that have haunted their town for generations may all be connected — and that they may be the next targets. Based on R.L. Stine’s best selling horror series, the trilogy follows the nightmare through Shadyside’s sinister history.”

Janiak said in a recent statement, “As a filmmaker making Fear Street, but also just as a movie lover, I was so excited to pay homage to some of the great eras of horror movies. For 1994, Scream stood above all rest — it’s peak ’90s horror and, I think, one of the most brilliant movies ever made, period. Then for 1978, I got to look at the heyday of slasher films — Friday the 13th, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street. For 1666…I found the best inspiration for me lay in the beautiful world made rotten of Terence Malick’s The New World.”
