Hmm... Not anything like the books?

I liked it, but have to admit I never read the books, so adherence to the source material wasn't a factor for me. I did kind of garner that it wasn't a straight up adaptation though.

I read all the goosebumps books but always thought the fear street ones would be weak copies. I didn't realise they were just in a different style and geared towards older readers, Im sure I would have devoured them in my young years.

I know! I was super disappointed that there were only a few nods to fear street books. I really wish they had created the movies based on individual books. The books are amazing and don’t even need changes made to them.

Some nods I caught from the books were the cheerleader trilogy where they have the bus wreck and land on the grave. Character named deena. Some of the books on the shelves.

Other than that it’s not very fear street :(

Not going to lie,I’m a little disappointed.
I think people will love them if they’ve never read the books but for fans of the books it’s a let down

I enjoyed it, but see what you mean. I found myself thinking at the end that there was very little reference to Fear Street itself. "Shadyside" would've been a more apt title.

A lot of movies do that.
Lawnmower Man had to buy the rights from Stephen King even though it had nothing to do with the film. DC Comics gave the producers of Karate Kid permission to use the name. Again nothing to do with the source material.

So the dull prolonged lesbian drama was nothing to do with the books. For some reason that doesn't surprise me

No way was this anything like Supernatural at all, I watched all 10 seasons of that show and read both Fear Street and Christopher Pike growing up. I gave this a 4/10 out of generosity but the characters are unlikable, they should just have set this in 2021 to explain the horrid despicable characters.

I don't know where the 6/10 rating comes from. If you check the reviews most were negative ranging from 1-4/10.

Growing up, I never got into the Goosebumps books, because I didn't really care much for the supernatural stuff. I loved the Fear Street books, because, as far as I remember, they were real human killers and victims. I've always preferred serial killers to ghosts/spirits, because, to me, it's scarier because it can actually happen.

So this trilogy was a letdown for me, unfortunately :( I mean, it was okay for what it was, but they shouldn't have called it Fear Street, in my opinion.
