The official synopsis for Stine’s Prom Queen reads:
A spring night…soft moonlight…five beautiful Prom Queen candidates…dancing couples at the Shadyside High prom — these should be the ingredients for romance. But stir in one brutal murder — then another, and another — and the recipe quickly turns to horror. Lizzie McVay realizes that someone is murdering the five Prom Queen candidates one by one — and that she may be next on the list! Can she stop the murderer before the dance is over — for good?
Fear Street proved massively successful for Netflix; the Fear Street Trilogy debuted in the Summer of 2021 and brought in a ton of positive fan reception along with solid viewership.
