This track record for the series gives Fear Street 4 big shoes to fill, as the initial films have set a high precedent.

Three years out from the release of the original Fear Street, Fear Street: Prom Queen has had ample time to focus on crafting a quality fourth installment.

With a long marination time for the story, a strong cast of characters, and a period setting ripe for playing with tropes, Fear Street: Prom Queen may be situated to be another great installment of the horror franchise.
