Speaking about the adaptation, Stine says "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. What
fun to see the horrors of Shadyside come to life!"
