‘Fear Street’: Sadie Sink Uncovers the Easter Eggs You Might’ve Missed in Netflix’s Trilogy [Video]
“Spoilers ahead,” Sadie Sink cautions.
All three films in Netflix and director Leigh Janiak‘s Fear Street franchise are now streaming on Netflix, with Fear Street Part 1: 1994 kicking things off and both Fear Street Part 2: 1978 and Fear Street Part 3: 1666 mostly serving as prequel tales that build out the mythology and ultimately bring the story to its conclusion. The films pay tribute to ’90s horror and the “Golden Age” of slasher cinema, for starters, with Easter Eggs and fun tributes throughout.
In this new video from Netflix, Fear Street Part 2: 1978 (and “Stranger Things”) star Sadie Sink takes a look at a handful of Easter Eggs, which pay homage to everything from R.L. Stine‘s original teen horror books to Wes Craven’s Scream, Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Shining, and even Terrence Malick’s 2005 movie The New World. Go figure on that last one, eh?!
Sink also looks at some of the plot parallels between the three Fear Street movies, which come into much clearer focus when you revisit the first two films after finishing the trilogy.

In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
