PEOPLE WHO SAY THAT PROM QUEEN MISSES THE POINT OF FEAR STREET CLEARLY DON‘T KNOW A LOT ABOUT THIS SERIES

That’s not a bad thing. You aren’t required to be an expert on a series to enjoy or have opinions on it, but it does mean that something those generalizations are wrong.

Prom Queen hits the exact tone that basically all the 158 books in the series have, and it really does feel like a Fear Street book come to life. It definitely has a lot of the worse parts of Fear Street on full display (compared to how most of the books are way better), but it fits right in tonally.

Also, people who go on about how Prom Queen misses the point of Fear Street are definitely ignoring (or don’t know) how the movie trilogy took a story about how judging people/making assumptions based on their family is bad and turned into a story about an evil family full of only evil people who did evil things.

I will go out and say from an objective quality standpoint, this movie is worse than the trilogy. It felt disjointed at times and the dialogue wasn’t up to snuff.

That being said this movie is way more tonally similar to the books. People keep saying the this is just a typically slasher movie with the Fear Street name slapped on it, but it’s actually more accurate to say that about the movie trilogy.

THE MOVIE TRILOGY WAS NOTHING LIKE THE BOOKS, AND THIS MOVIE IS CLEARLY TRYING HARDER TO BE A GENUINE ADAPTATION THEN THEY WERE.

And for that I honestly can say I respect this movie, even if I don’t think it’s as good as it could have been.

And the covers (I think) they’re based off of

I’M SO FUCKING READY. I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOVIE SINCE JANUARY 2024. I WILL BE FULLY SEATED ON MAY 23.

And are absolutely hated by fans of the original story despite the limited information.

We’re got our hand on an official source (aka the description of the reprint of the Prom Queen book) that says Fear Street Prom Queen is coming out Fall of 2025. I’m annoyed that it’s going to take so long for it to come out, but I guess that will give the movie time to be more polished.

And it wasn’t just a numbers thing. The female characters were the ones leading the narrative, and the male characters were basically there to be love interests. Funny how that works.
