Some fantastic news this evening as Warner Bros. is about to unlock the other dimension and cross over into the Twilight Zone. The studio and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way are moving ahead on the Twilight Zone movie, hiring Rand Ravich to pen a script based on the iconic TV series, which melded fantasy, science-fiction and horror elements. Ravich’s feature credits include directing The Astronaut’s Wife, a film that carried a very Twilight Zone-esque premise and finale. The original “Twilight Zone” series ran for five seasons starting in 1959 on CBS, with Rod Serling creating the skein and writing more than half of the 156 episodes. If you haven’t seen ’em, queue them up on Netflix or Blockbuster ASAP. What you might want to avoid is Warners previous bigscreen incarnation of the property, 1983’s “Twilight Zone: The Movie,” with Steven Spielberg and John Landis producing and directing segments.

Welcome back to Shadyside. Netflix has officially kicked off production on brand new Fear Street movie Fear Street: Prom Queen, which brings the franchise into the 1980s.

Netflix’s Fear Street franchise launched back in Summer 2021 with three movies, the trilogy saga telling one complete story that spanned from 1666 all the way up to 1994.

Coming soon, Fear Street: Prom Queen is based on the same-titled book that R.L. Stine published in 1992, and you can check out first-look behind the scenes footage down below!

In Fear Street: Prom Queen, “Welcome back to Shadyside. In this next installment of the blood-soaked Fear Street franchise, prom season at Shadyside High is underway and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider is unexpectedly nominated to the court, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”

The ensemble cast includes India Fowler (The Nevers, Insomnia), Suzanna Son (Red Rocket, The Idol), Fina Strazza (Paper Girls, Above the Shadows), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty, Cinnamon), Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Chris Klein (Sweet Magnolias, American Pie), with Lili Taylor (Outer Range, Manhunt) and Katherine Waterston (The End We Start From, Perry Mason). Matt Palmer (Calibre) is directing the franchise’s fourth installment.

The Prom Queen was book #15 in R.L. Stine’s teen franchise, originally published on March 1, 1992. If you’d like to read it before the movie comes out, you can always find copies on eBay.

In a first for Netflix and for the horror film genre, the Fear Street Trilogy was released as an epic summer movie event over three consecutive weeks in July 2021. The acclaimed films – Part 1: 1994, Part 2: 1978, and Part 3: 1666 – spent 12 collective weeks on the Netflix Top 10.
