Fear Street is a trilogy of films based on the books by R. L. Stine. In a unique move, each film was released just a week apart, with all of them made at once. The plot of each film is as follows.Part One: 1994: In 1994, a group of teenagers find out that the terrifying events that have occurred in their cursed town of Shadyside, Ohio, may be connected to each other. They may also be the next targets.Part Two: 1978: In 1978, Camp Nightwing is divided by the campers and counselors who hail from the prosperous town of Sunnyvale and the campers and maintenance staffers from the downtrodden town of Shadyside. When horrors from the towns' shared history come alive, they must band together to solve a terrifying mystery before it's too late.Part Three: 1666: In 1666, the colony of Union is gripped by a hysterical witch-hunt that has deadly consequences for over three centuries to come. Meanwhile, the 1978 and the 1994 survivors try to finally put an end to the town's curse.The films were released on Netflix on July 2, 9, and 16 of 2021 respectively.

comment
Jacob Marley Apparel: Used somewhat inconsistently. The Skull Face killer actually wasn't wearing his skull mask when he was killed, but the undead version is, and he also has a bullet wound in his head and even looks like a corpse. By contrast, the Camp Nightwing Killer doesn't have any of the wounds he had as a human, and since his mask is never pulled off we don't know if he looks dead or alive. Ruby Lane, meanwhile, still has slashed wrists and looks alive, and does seem to be dressed the same way she was when she died. She's also the only one to talk (or sing as the case may be). As to the other killers, we don't know enough about the specifics of their deaths to know how their undead appearance matches how they looked when they died.

Canon Foreigner: Nearly everyone (including the entirety of Sunnyvale) beside Sarah Fier, and even she has little in common with her literary counterpart outside of being The Scapegoat for the evil force, which has been changed from Sarah Burns to the Goode family (who exist in the books, though none of the Goodes that are featured in the films are directly based on any of the Goodes from the novels).

 Fear Street / int_117d2e1f
comment
Fauxshadowing: In the opening montage of Camp Nightwing and its various activities, the camera noticeably lingers on some kids doing archery. Given that other things in the montage (such as the arts-and-crafts cabin and a snake tank) figure into the story later on, and since the audience knows that a massacre is imminent, it's a reasonable assumption that someone will eventually use bows and arrows to either attack others to defend themselves. Except, they don't. Archery never comes up again.

Anyone Can Die
 Fear Street / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: The films use this, often offing characters that would usually survive at that point. In 1994, Kate and Simon, two major characters who make it all the way to the climax at the supermarket, both die in brutal fashion. 1978 does something similar with characters like Alice. Also, Sam dies, is brought back, then gets possessed.

Villainous Lineage: Solomon Goode's deal with the Devil is inherited by the eldest son of each successive generation, who then becomes responsible for selecting a Shadysider to be possessed and turned into a killer every decade or so. In this generation, it's Sheriff Nick Goode, who took up the mantle as a teenager in 1978 with his first sacrifice being Tommy Slater, aka the Camp Nightwing Killer.

Gender-Concealing Writing
 Fear Street / int_195bec23
comment
Gender-Concealing Writing: For the first fifteen minutes or so after Deena's introduction, her ex's gender is left deliberately vague — she's referred to only by the gender-neutral nickname of "Sam" with no pronouns attached, and when Deena is shown staring jealously at Sam and Peter, it's unclear which one she's focusing on — allowing for the reveal that Sam is a girl to be a surprise to an audience making the heteronormative assumption. The effect is somewhat undercut by the fact that anyone paying attention to promotional material would likely know this already, however.

The Ghost
 Fear Street / int_1ba17583
comment
The Ghost: From the 300 year period of the Shadyside curse, only six killers are seen onscreen. Most notably, the Humpty-Dumpty Killer from 1935, who gets properly mentioned in 1994, is absent whereas killers such as Isaac Milton and Billy Barker from earlier time periods are given a substantial amount of screentime. Deena and Josh's dad is mentioned several times, and even manages to have a completely off-screen Character Development arc, but never appears in person. From his notes and the cans around the house, he is drinking whenever he isn't working long hours to support the family. Even the 1666 version of him is played by Randy Havens, who didn't appear in the previous films.

The Place: A strange example since Fear Street is an Artifact Title and doesn't figure into the plot at all. The one time we do briefly glimpse the street in question, it's called "Fier Street" and only provides a means for the characters to get from Point A to Point B.

Ambiguous Situation
 Fear Street / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: It's repeatedly noted by Sarah's peers that there's something special about her. It starts off with her father noting that nobody in town is better than her at helping make sure animals safely give birth, but she attributes it to luck and having a good knife. He later notes that her mother also seemed to have some kind of special connection to the land as she helped pick where they settled. Mary, the mysterious medicine woman who lives in the woods and the original owner of the occult book Solomon used to cast the curse scares her off by saying that there are powers reaching out to her. Solomon even says he's noticed this power and the way the land calls to her when he offers her the chance to share in the curse's benefits. The nature of this is deliberately kept ambiguous, but it, combined with her grudge, gives a soft explanation as to how she was able to grow in strength over the centuries and eventually call out to anyone who goes near her corpse, illustrated by the spread of her red moss. It's implied but never outright stated that she's slowly been gathering strength from the land and that the sudden nosebleeds the main characters get when near her body parts are her trying to reveal the true source of the curse to them. The extent to which the rest of the Goode family is aware of the family's Deal with the Devil is ambiguous. After Nick is outed as a serial killer his brother claims they didn't know anything about his nefarious activities, prompting Josh to call bullshit. However, the fact that the deal and curse were broken instantly upon Nick's death despite the fact that the rest of the family is still alive would lend credence to the idea that the deal was passed exclusively to the eldest son and the rest of the family need not be aware of it. It's never explained what exactly the in-universe reason is for reusing actors from the previous movies in the 1666 setting, if there even is one. The simplest explanation is that it's just Deena's mind filling in roles with people she knows, but that doesn't explain people like young Ziggy (Constance), Cindy (Abigail), or Tommy (Mad Thomas), who Deena never actually met and were just in a story she was told. Alternatively, they could be the identical ancestors of those people, a theory that's helped by the fact that some of them (Solomon and Elijah Goode, Constance and Abigail Berman) are explicitly in the roles of their previous characters' ancestors, but hurt by the fact that Sarah is explicitly not the ancestor of Deena since we know what the real Sarah Fier looked like and she definitely didn't have any children. A third possibility is that there is some sort of reincarnation involved, particularly since many of them have similar names, roles, and/or dynamics as their 1994 and 1978 characters.

Deal with the Devil
 Fear Street / int_1fc8335e
comment
In a platonic version of it, this trope is also partly Solomon’s motivation for bringing Sarah to the townsfolk to be hanged. She had turned on him after discovering that he had made a Deal with the Devil and cursed the town, not moved in the least by his pleas that he “loves” her.

Adaptational Villainy: In the books, the Goodes were generally portrayed as being good with some exceptions such as William. In the films, the entire family are the show's Greater-Scope Villains. In both versions, a curse is started by a Goode, but while in the books he did so out of grief for his killed family, in the movie he does it as part of a Deal with the Devil to make him prosperous.

Generation Xerox: Caleb is as much of a homophobic asshole as Peter. Hannah and Sarah's relationship shares many similarities with Sam and Deena's. Lizzie deals drugs, in this case hallucinogenic berries, but is a genuinely kind girl, just like Kate. She's even close friends with Isaac (Simon). The dynamic between Constance and Abigail is strikingly similar to the one between Ziggy and Cindy. Abigail is mentioned to have slept with Thomas, and Cindy was dating Tommy (though they hadn't slept together).

Mythology Gag
 Fear Street / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The lead character's name is Deena, which is a nod to the protagonist of The Wrong Number. That book is one of the ones featured in the opening of 1994, and the tagline even serves as the first line of dialogue. Ryan/Skull Mask's getup is identical to a costume featured on the cover art of Stine's Point Horror novel Halloween Night II. Sam disturbing the bones of Sarah Fier after a car crash and becoming possessed is taken from the first book in the Fear Street Cheerleaders series. Lights Out, the book the Camp Nightwing setting of 1978 comes from, has a subplot involving the protagnist's fear of snakes. Ziggy also his this fear, althouh it's reduced to just two moments. Nick Goode, the true villain, seems to be based on the duplicitous Robin Fear from the Fear Park trilogy. Martin's address is 99 Fier Street, which was a location in the books that was the center of one of the trilogies. The mayor of Sunnyvale is Will Goode, likely a reference to William Goode from the Saga trilogy. The moment in the school hallway early in 1994 when a boy approaches Deena with a knife and it's framed as if he's about to stab her but then he just carves "RIP" into Heather's locker seems like a nod to the many Bait-and-Switch chapter cliffhangers in the books. Kate and Simon's names likely come from the names of Kate and Simon Fier from the Saga trilogy.

Town Girls: The third act revolves around such a trio. Alice is the butch - with her Boyish Short Hair, hardcore drug habit and tomboyish personality. Cindy is the femme - a preppy Girly Girl who fusses about her ruined clothes, and is particularly devoted to her boyfriend. Ziggy is the neither - as while she's less feminine than Cindy, emphasis is more on her being 'weird' than outright tomboyish.

Ax-Crazy: While Tommy is more of a Brainwashed and Crazy example, Sheila takes the Small Town Rivalry way too seriously. She makes her debut by stringing up Ziggy on a tree with her cohorts, then she personally tortures the girl by burning her arm. She suggested doing worse and it's left ambiguous as to whether she would have gone further had Nick Goode not shown up. She later strangles Ziggy for the bug prank, and Ziggy had to knock her out to make her stop.

Even Evil Has Standards: Becky, Annie, and Will are more than willing to hang Ziggy by her arms from a tree on Sheila's orders, but are a little more reluctant when she has them hold Ziggy still so she can burn her with a lighter. Not reluctant enough to not go through with it, however.

Kick The Son Of A Bitch: Happens multiple times to Sheila during her rivalry with Ziggy: After hanging Ziggy by her arms from a tree, Sheila gets too close to her and receives an elbow to the nose. Sheila ends up locked in an outhouse covered in leeches and bugs in a revenge prank after vandalizing Ziggy's bunk. She attacks Ziggy as the latter tries to warn her of the axe-wielding maniac wreaking havoc on the camp, earning her a punch to the face and loss of consciousness.

Hollywood Healing
 Fear Street / int_329a19a0
comment
Hollywood Healing: Quite a few examples: Alice breaks her ankle during a traumatizing encounter with the victims of the Shadyside Killers in the cavern, but is able to walk around perfectly fine later on, barely even limping. This is all the more egregious when you consider that her bone was jutting out of her skin and had to be shoved back into place. Realistically speaking, Alice should not have been able to walk on that leg AT ALL, and probably would not be able to even hop on the other leg, for the sheer pain of it. Tommy attempts to hack Ziggy to death in the Science and Nature cabin, but is blocked by Nick, whose leg is severely wounded by the axe. The next time we see this character, he is able to walk around as if nothing even happened. In retrospect, this foreshadows The Reveal of 1666: As the beneficiary of the Deal with the Devil, Nick couldn't be allowed to die.

Burn the Witch!: Sheila believes Sarah Fier continues to plague Shadyside because the 1666 villagers failed to kill her this way (indeed, when it's shown in the third film, it's via period-accurate hanging). Thus, she feels justified in burning Ziggy with a lighter.

In 1994, after Deena confronts a cop (to steal his gun,) the cop tells her and Sam to "Call your boyfriends and tell them you need to relax" or You Need to Get Laid, and nothing is remarked on it. Nowadays that would be a fireable offence and grounds for a sexual harrasement suit.

Foregone Conclusion: Well, we know that Tommy ends up being a killer and the sisters fail to stop the curse thanks to events depicted in 1994. Also that Nick Goode doesn't die at the hands of a slasher when he sacrifices himself. We already know that they won't find Sarah Fier's body under the Hanging Tree. Aside from how much time is left in this episode, plus Part III, Part I showed us the Hanging Tree inside what is now the Shadyside Mall, while Sarah's body is in the woods outside town. C. Berman herself tells us that her sister was one of the casualties.

Then Let Me Be Evil: After she and Hannah are falsely accused of witchcraft and Hannah is set to be hanged, Sarah decides to actually make a deal with the Devil in order to save them both. However, once she realizes the cost of such a deal, she's horrified, and likely would not have gone through with it in the end even if she wasn't prevented by Solomon having already made a deal of his own.

Nothing but Hits: Part One leans heavily into its '90s Period Piece setting, and nowhere is this more true than with its soundtrack, filled with rock, metal, and hip-hop hits from that decade. Like Part One, much of the soundtrack for Part Two is popular songs from the time period in which it takes place, in its case the 1970s, such as "Carry On Wayward Son", "Slow Ride", "(Don't Fear) The Reaper", "Ever Falling In Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've?)", and "Sweet Jane".

"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot
 Fear Street / int_44989f6f
comment
"Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: The curse goes beyond the typical mass killing and goes up to resurrecting past killers because Deena gets the car Sam and her boyfriend were in to crash, causing Sam's blood to come into contact with Sarah Fier's bones. This also makes Sam the primary target. However, it's later played with when we see signs of the nosebleed that made Deena slip before she stopped herself may have been Sarah Fier's doing. Later films reveal that the nosebleed definitely wasn't an accident or even malicious, and it's implied to be Sarah's way of reaching out to people near the parts of her body to try and reveal the true nature of the curse. The resurrected killers coming after them was the actual curse trying to hide itself from anyone who would go after the ones maintaining it. It's never explained in detail, but Sarah is only able to reveal parts of the truth when someone's blood touches her body.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ziggy is introduced as an aggressive ball-buster, whose abrasive personality makes her a prime target for bullies. She however is the first character to sympathize with Nurse Lane, and refuse to believe she's just 'crazy'. She also risks her life to save Sheila, who's locked in the outhouse with a killer on the loose. Alice is presented as a mean stoner who demeans Cindy at every opportunity. But she shows her Hidden Depths very quickly, and becomes Fire-Forged Friends with Cindy and Ziggy. Despite being a major Jerkass throughout the film, Kurt proves to have a heart when he drives the surviving campers to safety during the Camp Nightwing Massacre.

comment
CPR: Clean, Pretty, Reliable: In 1994, Deena and Josh give CPR to Sam after she has been forcibly overdosed on over-the-counter medication and then drowned. It takes a while and looks somewhat forceful, but doesn't break her ribs and she then only pukes up a little water (and no vomit) and is good to go without further need for medical attention. Ziggy is saved via CPR in 1978, despite having multiple stab wounds and the same injuries that killed her sister Cindy. Subverted, in that it's implied that Nick Goode "saved" her via supernatural means, though that's not revealed until the third movie.

Artistic License – History: Fear Street 1994 features the characters listening to numerous songs: "Your Woman", "More Human Than Human", "I'm Only Happy When it Rains" and "Firestarter", all of which were released in 1995-1997. Likewise, Josh uses an AOL Chatroom with sounds that didn't exist until 1997, and the Calibri font (clearly labeled as such onscreen, to boot) that wouldn't be created until 2007. In the films, Ohio is not in it's normal location but in fact geographically where New Jersey is. This is shown in the opening sequence which uses a colonial map of New Jersey to show historical Shadyside and Sunnyside (located near real world Chatsworth, NJ.) This is because a frequent point of contention amongst fans of the books was that Ohio had no European Settlers in 1666. In fact European Settlement didn't even begin until 1745, and the town of Shadyside wasn't founded until 1879. As such, in order to keep the settling, Ohio was pushed to the East Coast which had been extensively colonized by 1666.

It's used both in the mundane, realistic sense and in the supernatural sense: In the realistic sense, Shadyside is a Wrong Side of the Tracks town, something like a cross between The City Narrows and a bizarre form of Urban Segregation based on the fact that the town is plagued by a repeated problem where Shadysiders, who are otherwise decent people, break out into slasher villains. Despite this, it's a Close-Knit Community with a lot of hometown pride, and compared to the arrogant Sunnyvalers, they're easy to root for. People from Shadyside engage in a lot of casual criminality, sure, but the main drug dealer we meet, Kate, is a friendly, empathetic person, and everyone from Shadyside is much nicer than people from Sunnyvale; perhaps the best example is during 1978's Color War, where the Shadysider "prison" is run by a very friendly kid, and the Sunnyvale prison by a cruel one. Even in the distant past, Sarah Fier and the "witch" in the woods nearby come off as much friendlier and more heroic than the Puritan townsfolk. In the supernatural sense, Sarah Fier's ghost is the Big Good of the entire series, despite being a terrifying ghost associated heavily with blood-red moss and darkness.

Hero of Another Story
 Fear Street / int_581f6468
comment
Hero of Another Story: Mary Lane (mother of possessed killer Ruby Lane) clearly has a lot going on in her life, most of which is unknown to the main protagonists. After a short cameo in 1994 her role is expanded upon in 1978, where it's suggested that she took a job as the camp nurse in order to investigate the circumstances of her daughter's killing spree. What led her to Camp Nightwing specifically is a mystery, but she was clearly on the right track, as this was the location of Sarah Fier's hanging. It's discovered that she's been exploring the area in search of Sarah's missing hand, and had discovered the underground cave where the names of the killers were etched into the stones (including Tommy's, who she then tries to kill in order to prevent another massacre). The intel she leaves behind is crucial to Cindy and Alice escaping the caves and piecing together parts of the mystery (though they come to some wrong conclusions) and the fact that her ancestor was Widow Lane (as played by the same actress in 1666, and the original owner of the book that can summon the devil) brings yet more material to the table, which is only vaguely gestured at in the film itself.

Police Are Useless: Downplayed. Sheriff Goode's genuinely trying his best, but he refuses to accept how serious things are until it's far too late (he mistakes Deena and Sam's pleas for just another one of the avalanche of fake tips he's been getting after Heather's death). As a result, he's unable to prevent anyone dying, and what help he does finally offer is rejected because the teens don't trust him. The best he can do is accept the survivors' clearly untrue cover story. Ultimately subverted. Nick Goode is the villain, and is deliberately letting the killings happen; and then letting any convenient explanation explain it away.

Erudite Stoner: Arnie eventually remembers that L484, the print on the mysterious unlabeled pills found amongst Nurse Lane's possessions, is nothing but Tylenol (he even knows its medical name), ruling drugs off the list of reasons the nurse attempted to murder Tommy. Unfortunately for Arnie, it's one of the last revelations he ever has... Alice loves drugs as much as Arnie, and is able to locate the hand of Sarah Fier after piecing together its location from the map in Nurse Lane's journal.

It's All My Fault
 Fear Street / int_5ad80bf8
comment
A subtler example from 1666 is Sarah's father George Fier. While he's not physically abusive like Grace, he makes clear that he disapproves of her sexuality. Though unlike Grace, he views it more as a failure on his part rather than seeing it as Sarah "bringing shame on the family." Not that his diminished-by-comparison disapproval is any less devastating to Sarah.

Agonizing Stomach Wound
 Fear Street / int_5d6f4033
comment
Agonizing Stomach Wound: Generally subverted in all three movies. Over the course of 1994, people get stabbed in the gut three times, but it's not shown to be a particularly debilitating wound, as the characters keep going and fighting back after sustaining it. In 1978, Ziggy is stabbed god knows how many times by the Milkman, but hangs onto life long enough to make an eventual full recovery. In 1666, when Sarah discovers Solomon's Deal with the Devil and he tries to convince her to join him, she refuses by stabbing him in the stomach. This barely slows him down for long, and he seems fine shortly after. Nick also stabs Deena in the gut when the story returns to 1994, though here, Deena walking it off is justified by the fact that she had made a stab-proof vest out of Robert Lawrence books.

Freeze-Frame Bonus: The opening credits montage at the start of 1994 can be paused at any time: some of the writing is from Nurse Lane's journal and all the newspaper clippings can be read as actual reports on the massacres. Pausing on any shot of the stones where the killers' names are etched reveal dozens and dozens more individuals who fell prey to the Shadyside curse, of whom we know nothing about.

Hourglass Plot: Minor example. In 1978, Cindy died while her sister Ziggy survived. In 1666, their past counterparts are the other way around; Cindy's counterpart Abigail lives, while Ziggy's Constance dies. At the point in the story where we flash back to 1666, Deena and Josh are the only protagonists of 1994 still alive or unpossessed. In the 1666 portions, Sarah and Henry (played by their actors) die, while their friends survive. Further more, Sam in the 1994 portions is possessed and her life in danger. But her 1666 counterpart Hannah isn't possessed, and Sarah lies that she is to save her.

If I Can't Have You…: Caleb, still resentful that he was rejected by Hannah, decides to accuse her and Sarah of witchcraft to destroy their happiness, even though it was clear he was obsessed with her. In a platonic version of it, this trope is also partly Solomon’s motivation for bringing Sarah to the townsfolk to be hanged. She had turned on him after discovering that he had made a Deal with the Devil and cursed the town, not moved in the least by his pleas that he “loves” her.

Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple
 Fear Street / int_734c5ed2
comment
Masculine–Feminine Gay Couple: The series gives us Deena and Sam. The former is a Tomboy and Action Girl, while the latter is a more feminine cheerleader. The third film 1666 reveals their relationship parallels the supposed villain Sarah Fier's with Hannah Miller. Sarah was an unconventional farmhand who was "raised like a boy" and Hannah more traditionally feminine.

comment
Recursive Canon: The series begins with a parent buying one of the books, and we see other entries on the shelf. This is an interesting example, as the Fear Street branding is absent, implying that in this universe they are standalone works without the titular location. The books later reappear in the third movie, when Deena uses a bulletproof style vest made out of the books to protect herself.

Saved by Canon: Given that C.

The viewer is led to believe Cindy will survive, since she only goes by 'C Berman' in 1994, but it turns out to be Ziggy (whose real name is Christine).

Hearing Voices: The first sign that someone is being possessed is that they start hearing a voice whispering their name, as shown with Ryan in 1994 and Tommy in 1978. This also happens to anyone who gets near the pulsating mass at the center of the witch's mark, though in this case it doesn't indicate upcoming possession.

The Ending Changes Everything: Once learning that Sarah Fier was an innocent victim that Solomon Goode used as a scapegoat for his own crimes absolutely everything that we've seen in the previous two films is flipped on its head: most of Nick Goode's dialogue, the discrepancy in the socio-economic status between Sunnyvale and Shadyside, the reason behind all the Shadyside serial killers — even the true nature of the red moss, which is initially depicted as something strange and sinister, and is instead a symbol of the love between Sarah and Hannah.

Politically Correct History
 Fear Street / int_7e74d66f
comment
Politically Correct History: Zigzagged. The 1666 Puritans have a very low (period appropriate) opinion of same-gender relationships, but don't seem to have any racial bias, as Black people are living among them without any notable signs of discrimination. However, since the entire 1666 segment of the story is framed as a vision by Deena imagining herself in the role of Sarah Fier, and the real Sarah shown later in the film is played by a white actress, it is implied that the cast are just playing parts assigned to them by Deena's vision. Solomon is shown treating Sarah as an equal and a friend. And although he lacks the vocabulary for it, he shows a 21st century view of homosexuality. This is a Bait-and-Switch to the viewer (who probably until then assumed they would be like him if they lived back then) for when he is revealed to be the Big Bad.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: When Ziggy bleeds on Sarah Fier's freshly recovered hand, she inadvertently revives Tommy and multiple mass murderers who plagued Shadyside in the past, resulting in the deaths of Alice, Cindy, and nearly Ziggy herself. Later films later imply that the blood was Sarah trying to reveal the curse's true nature to anyone she could reach out to, and the killers targeting whoever's blood touches her body was the true source of the curse trying to stop her.

Revival Loophole
 Fear Street / int_84fe7b3a
comment
Revival Loophole: Anyone who who gets their blood on the witch's bones becomes a target for the resurrected past killers, but they'll stop being chased once they die, even if they get revived afterward. This happens to Sam in 1994, and the group figures out how to save her thanks to it also having happened to C. Berman in 1978. Due to the real nature of the curse, it seems this is because death and resurrection prevents Sarah Fier from revealing the truth, and as such the undead killers have no reason to pursue their targets anymore.

Wrong Side of the Tracks
 Fear Street / int_87572663
comment
In the realistic sense, Shadyside is a Wrong Side of the Tracks town, something like a cross between The City Narrows and a bizarre form of Urban Segregation based on the fact that the town is plagued by a repeated problem where Shadysiders, who are otherwise decent people, break out into slasher villains. Despite this, it's a Close-Knit Community with a lot of hometown pride, and compared to the arrogant Sunnyvalers, they're easy to root for. People from Shadyside engage in a lot of casual criminality, sure, but the main drug dealer we meet, Kate, is a friendly, empathetic person, and everyone from Shadyside is much nicer than people from Sunnyvale; perhaps the best example is during 1978's Color War, where the Shadysider "prison" is run by a very friendly kid, and the Sunnyvale prison by a cruel one. Even in the distant past, Sarah Fier and the "witch" in the woods nearby come off as much friendlier and more heroic than the Puritan townsfolk.

Back from the Dead: Cindy actually manages to kill Tommy as he's on the verge of ending Ziggy and has become fully consumed by the persona of the Camp Nightwing Slasher, putting him down for a few minutes, only for Ziggy to accidentally bleed on the severed right hand of Sarah Fier, invoking the witch's curse, which then revives all the Shadyside killers, including Tommy, who still has his old body at that point, rather than being formed from Ominous Obsidian Ooze like the others. Tommy is again put down by being decapitated via Shovel, but by that point has become a full-on Implacable Man like the rest of the killers, and returns shortly thereafter with the rest to finish off Cindy and Ziggy.

Identical Grandson: Solomon Goode is played by the same actor as his descendant Nick Goode. This is likely also the case for the rest of the 1666 characters played by the same actors as characters from 1994 and 1978 (aside from Sarah/Deena, and thus also Henry/Josh), particularly since Constance and Abigail Berman share the same last name as Ziggy and Cindy. Taken up to eleven during the montage of several generations of Goodes sacrificing Shadysiders to the devil, as they are all played by the same two actors who played Nick Goode, with different hairstyles and facial hair.

Asshole Victim: Played with. Peter plays this straight as he's homophobic and sexist to Deena and threatens her anytime she's near Sam, his sole redeeming quality is he's genuinly concerned for Sam after the crash. Meanwhile, Kate is a drug dealer who seems apathetic towards the fact that a person she knew overdosed and appears negligent of her young charges (though does shuffle them off to a neighbor when someone breaks into the house, presumably for their safety) - but then we learn that she's selling drugs because she desperately wants to get out of Shadyside and comes from a bad background, not unlike Deena.

Karmic Death: The kids plan to enact this on Sheriff Goode, dousing him with Deena's blood so that the Shadyside killers his family have created over the years will turn on him and attack him instead. It fails because he manages to get some of the blood on Ziggy, forcing Deena to expose herself to distract the killers away from her as well. Then Deena succeeds in pushing Goode to touch the black mass in the caves beneath Shadyside, causing him to witness visions of all the victims his family have created over the generations, with the last one he sees being Sarah Fier swearing her Dying Curse to never let Solomon's family go before Deena stabs him through the eye.

Rule of Symbolism
 Fear Street / int_916c72b3
comment
Rule of Symbolism: The red moss from the woods outside Shadyside appears in all three films for symbolic value as well as practical in the second film. The nature of it isn't revealed until 1666 though. In 1666, it's reveal to be a symbol of the forbidden love between Hannah Miller and Sarah Fier, as it's where they shared their first "dalliance" in the woods; Sarah even making Hannah a crown made from it. Hannah places the crown in Sarah's grave and the moss grows over it as a way of ensuring that love isn't completely lost to history. In 1994 the moss is right above Sarah Fier's skeleton (the reasons are revealed later) but, following on from the above, it's where the two lesbian characters first reconcile after their messy break-up and argument earlier. In 1978, Cindy and Alice, who are implied to have unresolved feelings for each other, have their heart-to-heart when they're sitting where the moss grows.

The only exception is once again Ruby, who is said to have sung as she killed her friends.

Adaptational Diversity: The books primarily feature white characters with only the occasional non-white character. In the films, the main protagonist Deena is black, and there are a few other black characters as well, most notably her brother Josh. Additionally, Deena and Sam are a gay couple, as are Sarah Fier and Hannah Miller in 1666.

Rewatch Bonus

Rewatch Bonus: When C Berman starts telling her story of the events, the first scene from 1978 follows Ziggy, who's actually telling the story, rather than Cindy. C. Berman's dog is named Major Tom, a David Bowie reference. Another clue to her actually being Ziggy. Nurse Lane's little rant about how sometimes killing might have a good reason takes on a new light once the viewer knows that she's already found Tommy's name on the wall and is planning to kill him to prevent him from becoming the next Shadyside killer. Nick seems a little concerned with Ziggy's playful ribbing of him not being as normal as everyone thinks. After talking about his father's ambitions for him, he mentions the things he'd like to do instead and says "too bad we'll never know". For the former, he's possibly worried about Ziggy seeing through his ruse. For the latter, he knows he can't turn his back on his family legacy, as he's already marked Tommy to become the next killer. Nick reassures a scared Ziggy by saying "I know I've let a lot of people die tonight..." Kurt finding Nick outside the arts and crafts cabin with blood on his hands momentarily asks "did you do this?" Alice gets a vision of Cindy covered in blood and screams about her being next, which Cindy reassures her is just a false vision. Since it's Cindy that dies and not Ziggy, Alice's vision was quite apt. Ziggy miraculously gets revived with CPR after suffering several horrific stab wounds. Nick is later revealed to have made the Deal with the Devil, meaning he had the power to bring Ziggy back to life. Even before he performs CPR, he says "don't die on me"; on the first watch, seems like simple Please, Don't Leave Me, but on the second...

Foreshadowing: When Sarah tells Solomon about how she fears that her being in love with Hannah was what cursed the town, he tells her that it's impossible to accidentally make a deal with the Devil, that you have to intentionally reach out to him to let him in. He'd know, since he was the one who already did that and cursed the town. The chant the village children say about Pastor Miller at the start goes "Pastor Miller, blind as a bat, tried to read the Bible and his eyes went splat" - foreshadowing that he'll gouge the eyes of the children out before doing the same to himself. It's even Constance Berman who's chanting, while wearing a blindfold, and she's among the victims.

The End... Or Is It?: Midway through the credits, after it appears everything is fine and the curse has finally ended, someone offscreen grabs the book that Solomon used to curse the land, setting up the potential for a sequel. The director has confirmed that they intend on doing more horror films in a sort of shared universe setting. She's also spoken about wanting to make a television series, though whether this will come to fruition remains to be seen.

Homage: All films continue specific homages to their inspirations: The first death in 1994 is of a young, female Dead Star Walking with Hollywood pedigree (Maya Hawke) in a scene where she's harassed over the phone before being dragged to her death, unmasking the killer in the process. It's an homage to Casey Becker's death in Scream (1996). 1978 is a more general homage to Friday the 13th Part 2, being a slasher film in which Sex Equals Death set in a summer camp about a Sackhead Slasher primarily targeting teens and hacking them up.

My God, What Have I Done?: Solomon Goode has a look of pure horror as he sees what Pastor Miller did to the town's children because of his curse. His guilt doesn't last, though, as he becomes a Misanthrope Supreme upon seeing the town whipping itself into a frenzy to lynch two innocent young women, one of whom he is in love with. Downplayed, but the townsfolk collectively quieten down from their mob frenzy at the sight of Sarah's body hanging from the tree and there are a few perturbed faces as they silently leave.

Due to the Dead: After Sarah is hanged, Hannah, Lizzie, Isaac, and Abigail move her body to the woods so that they can give her a proper burial. After breaking the curse, Deena carves "Sarah Fier, the first Shadysider" into the rock next to where she was buried, to commemorate her sacrifice, since she really was just as much a victim of the curse that she was unjustly blamed for as the other Shadysiders who suffered because of it. She after this makes a point of kissing and dancing with her own girlfriend out in the open without shame, this being the impossible dream the two of them had.

And I Must Scream
 Fear Street / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: The curse doesn't only get violent people to give into their cravings. It transforms innocent people into killers, traps their souls in slavery, and drains prosperity out of Shadyside. All while hunting the people close to learning the truth. The killers themselves are mere puppets at the hand of the curse and can be stopped only by being killed, but it's implied they're still in there somehow. Ruby Lane killed herself by slitting her own wrists, Pastor Miller took out his own eyes after killing the kids in Union in a form of self-punishment, and Sam was able to stop herself from choking Deena out of love for her.

Deliberate Values Dissonance
 Fear Street / int_aabe2fb
comment
Deliberate Values Dissonance: It's made clear pretty early on in 1994 that Sam and Deena were dating and that part of the tension between them comes from how difficult being gay is in Ohio in the mid-'90s. In 1994, after Deena confronts a cop (to steal his gun,) the cop tells her and Sam to "Call your boyfriends and tell them you need to relax" or You Need to Get Laid, and nothing is remarked on it. Nowadays that would be a fireable offence and grounds for a sexual harrasement suit. In 1666, nobody, not even Sarah herself, comments on the age gap between Sarah Fier and Solomon Goode when people suggest they get married. In fact, she only seems mildly annoyed by her father suggesting they get together, and otherwise likes and respects Solomon. Such relationships weren't out of the ordinary in colonial America. Also in 1666, Sarah's ostracization by the town starts when rumors about her being gay start going around.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Sheriff Goode would have been able to get away and maintain the curse with none the wiser had he not gone the extra mile of cursing Sam. This is ultimately what pushes the survivors of the previous movies' events to put Sarah to rest, giving her ghost the chance to reveal the true nature of the curse. His decision to frame an innocent man for vandalizing the mall also gets the gang a key extra ally against him.

Final Girl
 Fear Street / int_ad4c74ed
comment
Final Girl: Downplayed in 1994: Deena is the courageous, resourceful, and determined heroine of the trilogy's overarching narrative, the lone female survivor of the first movie (with Sam ending it possessed), and the one who ultimately faces off alone against the Big Bad in 1994 Part 2. However, she stretches the traditional limits of the archetype, as she's not white, not straight, not virginal (and actually has a love scene on camera), has a somewhat abrasive personality, and has four other people survive alongside her at the end of the trilogy. Subverted in 1978: Cindy seems clearly set up to be the final girl, projecting the image of the rule-following good girl who doesn't swear or do drugs and won't even let her boyfriend squeeze her ass much less sleep with her, in contrast with her rebellious sister Ziggy, who is close to getting kicked out of camp for misbehavior (including stealing from other campers) and has a romance with a counselor, and her former friend Alice, who slacks off, does drugs, and is introduced having sex with her boyfriend. Crucially, Cindy also has the first initial "C", which seemingly indicates that she is the C. Berman who's already established to have survived. However, Cindy ends up dying, and Ziggy (whose real name is Christine) is the one who survives.

Stupid Evil: Justified. The Shadyside killers are little more than mindless puppets of the curse, with no thought or agency of their own. Accordingly, they can be easily distracted or led around by the blood of their current target, as the kids used against them in 1994, and again here, where they trick them into getting trapped inside the mall shops, attacking each other when doused with the blood, and almost killing Sheriff Goode once they dump a bucket of the stuff on top of him, even though his death would destroy the killers as well.

Abusive Parents
 Fear Street / int_b11ac9f5
comment
Abusive Parents: 1994 has Sam's mother, who is of the emotionally abusive variety. She makes it clear during her phone call with Deena that she doesn't approve of her daughter's sexuality and scolds her at the police station—apparently more concerned about Sam being with Deena than about her having apparently narrowly avoided being murdered by her friends. When Sam comes out to her by kissing Deena, Ms. Fraser sternly drags her away afterwards. Hannah Miller's mother Grace from 1666 is arguably worse than her 90's counterpart (both women are fittingly played by Lacy Camp). When word of Hannah and Sarah's relationship gets out, Grace slaps Hannah when she tries to defend Sarah as her mother is physically and verbally berating her for "corrupting" her daughter. While Grace is later shown to be dismayed when Hannah is accused of witchcraft and set to be hanged, she doesn't do anything to stop it and offers her daughter no sympathy when she breaks down as Sarah is executed. She even looks to be scolding Hannah some more as she watches Sarah die. A subtler example from 1666 is Sarah's father George Fier. While he's not physically abusive like Grace, he makes clear that he disapproves of her sexuality. Though unlike Grace, he views it more as a failure on his part rather than seeing it as Sarah "bringing shame on the family." Not that his diminished-by-comparison disapproval is any less devastating to Sarah.

Blood from the Mouth: After being in a car accident, Sam coughs up blood onto Simon's shirt and Deena's shoe, which is why the Skull Mask Killer stalks both of them the following night.

 Fear Street / int_bacf8e98
comment
Preserve Your Gays: Deena and Sam both not only survive to the end of the trilogy to get their happy ending, when many of the other (straight) main characters do not, but also prove themselves remarkably resistant to being (permanently) killed. Sam survives a car crash, being hunted by undead killers, being intentionally drowned and then resuscitated, and then spending the majority of the second and third movies possessed by the Devil. Deena, on the other hand, survives being hunted by undead killers, a satanic sheriff, and her possessed girlfriend, as well as being stabbed in the stomach twicenote the second time she got smart and was wearing makeshift armor made of books duct taped to her torso.

Cool Mask
 Fear Street / int_bb067aba

Cool Mask: An inadvertent example. When Ziggy and Tommy are struggling with each other, he starts chocking her with his bare hands, only for her to grab a nearby potato sack, stuff it over his head and then return the favour, strangling him into submission for a few seconds before he throws her off. He leaves it on afterwards (possibly because he's too mindless to remove it), and it thereafter becomes part of his 'look' as a Shadyside killer, with him still wearing it when he's resurrected in 1994. It also makes him resemble the original 'Sackhead Jason' from Friday the 13th Part 2.

Subverted
 Fear Street / int_bc103f8b
comment
Subverted in 1978: Cindy seems clearly set up to be the final girl, projecting the image of the rule-following good girl who doesn't swear or do drugs and won't even let her boyfriend squeeze her ass much less sleep with her, in contrast with her rebellious sister Ziggy, who is close to getting kicked out of camp for misbehavior (including stealing from other campers) and has a romance with a counselor, and her former friend Alice, who slacks off, does drugs, and is introduced having sex with her boyfriend. Crucially, Cindy also has the first initial "C", which seemingly indicates that she is the C. Berman who's already established to have survived. However, Cindy ends up dying, and Ziggy (whose real name is Christine) is the one who survives.

Ambiguously Bi: While Alice and Cindy do have boyfriends in both Artie and Tommy respectively, and are labelled as former friends, they also spend a lot of time growing closer while traversing through the witch's mark tunnels. Alice's main gripe, that Cindy focused on integrating with the Sunnyvale crowd while Alice became pessimistic and suicidal, is also significantly similar to how Sam and Deena, a canonical lesbian couple, grew apart and broke up. The fact that Cindy is shown to be more broken over Alice's death in comparison to Tommy's possession, screaming at and decapitating him with a shovel not long afterwards, just adds more fuel to the fire. As a matter of fact, both the director and Alice's actor have confirmed that she's gay in the film.

Ghost Memory: Deena relives Sarah Fier's memories of the events leading up to her hanging in 1666, which are given to her after she reunites Sarah's hand with her body. This is revealed to have been what Sarah was actually trying to do when Ziggy and Sam had previously bled on her bones, but she wasn't able to give them more than a confusing glimpse while her missing hand was still elsewhere.

Good Colors, Evil Colors
 Fear Street / int_c32201f6
comment
Good Colors, Evil Colors: During the Color War, red is assigned to Sunnyvale and blue is assigned to Shadyside. Red and Sunnyvale are explicitly referred to as the "Good" side, leaving blue Shadyside as the "Evil." This color dynamic is also shown in the Berman sisters: Ziggy, who believes in the witch and accepts that her town is cursed, wears a blue-and-white striped tank top; Cindy, who dismisses supernatural explanations and strives to be good enough to leave Shadyside, wears a red-and-white striped polo shirt. However, the Shadysiders as a whole tend to be nicer and friendlier, while the Sunnyvalers are rude and dismissive.

Hope Spot: Heather tricks the killer into stabbing her friend's blow-up doll instead of her, then bashes them over the head and flees. For a second it looks like she's going to make it out of the mall...until she gets slowed down by the food court and the killer catches up to her. The kids lock Sarah Fier's undead minions in the bathroom and set them on fire, seemingly killing them in the subsequent explosion. A few minutes later, however, they reform from their remains. The curse's hold on Sam is seemingly broken thanks to her Disney Death, as the undead killers disappear. But then Sam herself is possessed the curse and tries to kill Deena.

Shout-Out
 Fear Street / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Sunnyvale is one letter off from Sunnydale, the setting of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and a town with a high mortality rate thanks to being located over the mouth of Hell, much like Shadyside with its regular spree killings caused by a deal with the Devil. Given that Sunnyvale is an invention of the movies, this is likely an intentional nod. 1994: The kids liken the disturbance of Sarah Fier's bones to Poltergeist (1982). The police officer Nick Goode finds a note in his mailbox that says "It is happening again", which is also the message that Coop heard from the Black Lodge in Twin Peaks. Kate promises her charges they can watch My So-Called Life. Simon refers to Josh as “Rain Man” when he explains his knowledge of Ruby Lane. When Simon finds out that the witch is hunting Sam's blood, he compares it to Jaws. 1978: Ziggy shares her name with David Bowie's alter ego, Ziggy Stardust. It's a nickname, indicating that she likely chose it herself because she's a fan of Bowie, especially given that, in 1994, she has a dog named Major Tom in keeping with the theme. When Ziggy is trying to get back at Sheila for her trashed bunk, she tells Nick that she didn't have pigs' blood handy. He says that Carrie is his favorite Stephen King book after 'Salem's Lot. Ziggy later dumps slugs on Sheila, in imitation of Carrie. Ziggy and Nick joke about starting a Judy Blume book club.

Heteronormative Crusader: Sam's mother in 1994 is totally opposed to her sexual orientation, which is made clear when she talks to Deena over the phone, accusing her of ruining Sam's life. She is also very disapproving of their relationship later on at the police station, and drags Sam away after she kisses Deena. Hannah's mother in 1666 reacts violently upon learning that Sarah and Hannah were having sex in the woods together. She physically throws Sarah out of the house, accusing her of corrupting her daughter, and even hits Hannah.

Genre Throwback: Each entry in the trilogy takes inspiration from a different era of horror. The first, 1994, takes inspiration from the more meta slashers of The '90s like Scream. The second, 1978, is a more traditional '70s/'80s summer camp slasher like Friday the 13th. The final entry, 1666, is evocative of period-centric horror films such as The VVitch.

Implausible Deniability: After the Sunnyvalers chase the Shadyside bus and crash because the Shadysiders throw a cooler at them, the kids on both sides all insist it was just an accident. Sheriff Goode clearly doesn't believe that two groups of teens from famously antagonistic towns just happened to be extremely close on the same stretch of road—which is in the opposite direction from the one the Sunnyvalers should be going—and just happened to crash, but since none of them will admit it he has nothing to go on. The cover story the police intends to go with for the hospital massacre doesn't resist the slightest scrutiny as both Kate and Simon died in ways that are absolutely impossible to be self-inflicted or accidents, so any attempt to pin the hospital murders on them cannot account for who killed them. Later films make this more justified in that once the Goode family's Satanic worship is revealed, Sherriff Goode is soon rightfully blamed for the killings.

Hoist by His Own Petard: Attempted twice. The first idea is to dilute Deena's blood in water and then dump it on Nick Goode so the killers will turn on their own master. It fails because he manages to grab Ziggy and gets Deena's blood on her, forcing Deena to draw the killers off so Ziggy isn't killed. After that, Josh gets the idea to spray the killers themselves with Deena's blood to turn them against each other. It works, but they're immortal, so it only serves as a stalling tactic.

Symbolically Broken Object: Cindy's red-and-white striped polo shirt is repeatedly refrenced as symbolic of her desire to better herself and leave Shadyside. Early on, it's stained by moss which is growing from Sarah Fier's hand, symbolizing how Sarah's curse lingers in Shadyside and will prevent Cindy from truly escaping the town's evil. After the Camp Nightwing Killer has been awakened, she tears a hole in the sleeve and bemoans that the shirt is ruined. After making up with Alice and accepting her place in the cursed town, she tears the shirt up herself to make bandages for Alice's broken ankle.

Futureshadowing: In 1978, the witch's hut where Sarah Fier made the pact with the devil is far away from the main settlement. In 1666, Sarah lives in the main settlement and Solomon Goode, the person who actually made a Deal with the Devil, lives in the "witch's hut." In 1994, Sheriff Goode walks with a bit of a limp. In 1978, this is revealed to be because he got axed in the leg by the Camp Nightwing Killer while trying to protect Ziggy.

comment
History Repeats: A major theme of the trilogy, with events, actions, lines of dialogue, relationship dynamics, themes, and even camera shots echoing across the three time periods. Made most explicit in 1666, with the majority of the main casts from both 1994 and 1978 returning to play different but similar characters during the events surrounding the origins of the curse on Shadyside.

Know When to Fold 'Em: Kate and Simon are willing to help Sam stay alive. But, when the undead killers show they cannot die and will keep coming after Sam until she is dead, Kate, Simon, and even Sam herself believe that letting them kill her to save everyone else is the best option. They quickly change their minds once they learn it's possible to save Sam.

Expy: Simon of 1994 is the Plucky Comic Relief with an over-the-top personality and a slight resemblance to Matthew Lillard, making him rather like Stu Macher from Scream. Except he's not a killer. Sheila of 1978 is a raven-haired Alpha Bitch at a summer camp, shamelessly avoids any punishment from counselors, and torments a less-conventional girl. She seems rather like Judy from Sleepaway Camp. The latter film also has a character getting locked in a bathroom with bugs dropped on them, although it goes to a different character, and the bugs in that film are bees that kill the person they were dumped on.

Light Is Not Good
 Fear Street / int_e543a655
comment
Light Is Not Good: Much like its sister trope in Dark Is Not Evil, this is used both in mundane fashion and in supernatural fashion: Mundanely, Sunnyvale is a bright, sunny, Everytown, America that is bright, successful, lovely... and seems to be populated entirely by The Proud Elite. Every athlete is a Jerk Jock, the Carload of Cool Kids in the film are introduced attacking a Shadyside bus, the only homophobes tossing the slur "dyke" around like it's going out of style are from Sunnyvale, and everyone from Sunnyvale engage in repeated Abomination Accusation Attack against Shadysiders, claiming they're all just serial killers waiting to happen. Even when ostensibly just playing a game with each other, Sunnyvalers go out of their way to be assholes to Shadysiders. The past shows that the people who would found Sunnyvale weren't much better, being fanatical Puritans ready and able to Burn the Witch! (well, hang the witch, anyway, given this is America, where no witches were ever burned.) Supernaturally, the prosperity of Sunnyvale is entirely unnatural; it's born of the leading Goode family's deal with the devil, meaning that Sunnyvale's glory is directly related to the worst supernatural evil. Further, the first Satanist Goode was Solomon Goode, who used the local church-going Puritans as his personal army to kill Sarah Fier.

Star-Crossed Lovers: Sarah Fier and Hannah Miller were lesbian lovers in 1666, and a tryst witnessed by a spurned Caleb leads to the town blaming the curse on their romance. Both are accused of being witches, and Sarah has to pretend she was actually a witch and Hannah was under a spell to save the latter's life. She was hanged for witchcraft, leaving Hannah broken-hearted.

Ambiguous Disorder: C. Berman requires a large number of alarm clocks to regulate every aspect of her daily routine, from eating to checking the locks in her house, to feeding her dog. This implies that she's not capable of functioning without them. The way Josh reacts to the reveal that she was Ziggy also implies that she told the entire story of the 1978 events in the third person.

Promotion to Parent: Seemingly common with Shadyshiders, possibly to emphasize the general crappiness of their situation. Deena and Josh's father is rarely around, always drinking when he isn't working long hours. Deena is the one who's responsible for getting Josh to school, making dinner, and so on. She's not very good at it (they eat pizza almost everyday), and clearly resents this, but she doesn't have a choice. Simon is apparently the sole breadwinner for his family, and has been for years. In 1978, Cindy claims that she's the one who's really raising/taking care of Ziggy, due to their mother being an alcoholic and their father gone. It's really messed up their relationship.

Sarah is definitively uninterested in the prospect, because she's gay and in love with Hannah. Solomon doesn't seem inclined either, having lost his wife and child some time before. Sadly, their friendship ultimately ends in tragedy after Sarah discovers that Solomon made a Deal with the Devil that has already caused her brother's death and likely soon her lover's as well. Solomon then ensures Sarah's death to prevent her from revealing what he did.

Zigzagged. The 1666 Puritans have a very low (period appropriate) opinion of same-gender relationships, but don't seem to have any racial bias, as Black people are living among them without any notable signs of discrimination. However, since the entire 1666 segment of the story is framed as a vision by Deena imagining herself in the role of Sarah Fier, and the real Sarah shown later in the film is played by a white actress, it is implied that the cast are just playing parts assigned to them by Deena's vision.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Nurse Lane had been researching the curse after her daughter went on an unprovoked rampage. She'd discovered the origin site of the curse and the names of the killers carved into stone, and had figured out that someone's name will appear on the stone before they become possessed and go on a rampage all before the film even starts. As such, she knows who the film's main killer is going to be and tries to murder him before he can kill anyone innocent, as she hadn't fully figured out the curse's true nature and how to free a possession victim. Nobody does until 1994, in fact.

Then 1666 reveals that Solomon framed Sarah Fier for his Deal with the Devil, and the victims' blood were for a ritual to suck prosperity out of Shadyside and to Sunnyvale. After the curse disappears, the two towns' roles is reversed.
