Excitement is building for Netflix’s next horror release, “Fear Street: Prom Queen“, based on R.L. Stine’s cult-favorite novel. Set during prom season at Shadyside High, the film mixes high school drama with full-on slasher chaos, as a mysterious killer starts picking off prom queen contenders one by one.
“Fear Street: Prom Queen” Premise
The story follows a group of popular “It Girls” whose fierce rivalry takes a dark turn when a bold outsider joins the race for the crown—and classmates begin to vanish. A masked killer in red latex and an axe adds an extra layer of panic, and the tagline says it all: “One hell of a prom night.”
Directed by “Ready or Not’s” Matt Palmer, who co-wrote the screenplay with Donald McLeary, Prom Queen blends ‘80s slasher vibes with sharp, dark humor. The cast includes India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, Ariana Greenblatt, plus Chris Klein and Lili Taylor, promising strong performances and plenty of thrills.

The trailer teases classic prom night glam turned into a nightmare, with neon lights, glittery gowns, and brutal murders. With nods to films like “Jennifer’s Body” and “Heathers”, it’s packed with nostalgic energy and suspense. Even better—it’s a standalone story, so you don’t need to have seen the earlier Fear Street movies to dive in.
Dropping May 23 on Netflix, Fear Street: Prom Queen looks like the perfect mix of camp, chaos, and horror. Whether you’re here for the kills, the ‘80s throwback, or the teen drama, this one’s shaping up to be a bloody fun ride.
