Watch the first five minutes of Netflix's Fear Street horror trilogy
The trilogy begins in Shadyside, 1994, and features Maya Hawke's Heather being chased by a masked intruder.
Netflix has released a preview of the first five minutes of Fear Street Part One: 1994 featuring Stranger Things star Maya Hawke, and it's every bit as terrifying as we had hoped.
The trilogy begins in Shadyside and follows a group of high-schoolers first accidentally coming across the ancient evil responsible for a series of brutal murders that have plagued their town for over 300 years. It's loosely adapted from the books of the same name by R.L. Stine, creator of the Goosebumps and the Point Horror series, and looks a bit like a supernatural version of the hit '90s franchise Scream.
The trailer features Hawke as horror book fan and bookseller Heather, suddenly pursued by a masked killer at Shadyside Mall. It also features co-star David W. Thompson as her goofball friend Ryan.
The Fear Street cast also includes Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink, Trinkets star Kiana Madeira and Unbelievable's Olivia Scott-Welch.
Joining them will be Community’s Gillian Jacobs, A Teacher‘s Ashley Zukerman, The Wire’s Darrell Britt-Gibson, and Ozark‘s Jordana Spiro.
Fear Street Part Two: 1978 is set at Camp Nightwing, where staff and campers from both Shadyside and its neighbouring town Sunnyvale unite in a fight for survival when a Shadysider is possessed with the urge to kill.
