Berman, the past holds clues to the present, as Sarah Fier's dark legacy has touched them both. Much like the mysterious, and for now nameless, C. Towards the end of Fear Street: Part 1 - 1994, we see Sheriff Nick Goode (Ashley Zukerman) slip a note under a random door with a simple message: “It’s happening again.” That story will be told in full during Fear Street: Part 2 - 1978, but for now, we’ll just say that Nick has some personal ties of his own to these horrific goings on. How Fear Street Part 1: 1994 Teases Part 2: 1978 Shadyside, on the other hand, is a town seemingly infected with a sinister legacy, and an even worse nickname: “Killer Capital USA.” This leads many, including Deena herself, to either attempt to flee, or throw up their hands and declare that “shit’s doomed.” The legacy of hatred between both towns is something to keep in mind when watching the Fear Street trilogy, as it already provides one of the links we’ll see fleshed out in Fear Street: Part 2 - 1978. For Sunnyvale, it’s always pleasant and fair, under the watchful eye of the Goode family.Ī founding bloodline that reaches back to the town’s formation, they find themselves in positions of power, constantly leading a charmed life.

Meanwhile, in Fear Street: Part 1 - 1994, that dynamic is exactly what led to Sam and Deena’s falling out, as Sam moved to Sunnyvale and Deena ended their relationship. Both part of a colony known as “Union” in 1666, these two locations would be formed that same year.

Sunnyvale: The Eternal GrudgeĪnother very important thing to consider throughout the Fear Street trilogy (opens in new tab) is the seemingly eternal grudge between competing towns Shadyside and Sunnyvale. And thanks to Shadyside's rather checkered past, Kate and Simon's deaths are used as easy explanations for the rest of the night's gruesome murders. Cheerleader Kate (Julia Rehwald) is put through a bread slicer by a resurrected Ryan, while Simon (Fred Hechinger) gets an axe to the head from the Nightwing Killer. With the army of killers Sarah Fier apparently commands closing in on our teen ensemble, we see two of our central characters die horrific deaths. Surely, the audience thought she would have survived but she’s the first sacrifice as Ryan Torres’ possession cuts her out before the titles roll.Īnd then there’s the honored dead of Shadyside, those Fear Street friends we made along the way.

Plus, in a nod to Scream and even Psycho, we’re introduced to a character named Heather, played by Stranger Things’ Maya Hawke. In terms of the characters that are dispatched, but barely known, we get to see tons of hospital staff and other innocent bystanders mowed down. Horror movies like Fear Street: Part 1 - 1994 are naturally going to have a body count, especially when the carnage involving beloved characters is worn like a badge.
