Introduction and Podcast Preparations
00:00:07
Speaker
All right, Shady Siders, welcome back to Based on a Book, the podcast that continues to traumatize one of its hosts. Can you guess which one? I'm Carrie and I'm channeling my inner Lindsay today.
00:00:20
Speaker
Lindsay and I'm the Smee of Scary. I'm Crystal. I hate this podcast and everyone in it.
00:00:29
Speaker
In this special episode, we're getting ready for the new Fear Street movie dropping May 23rd. To prep ourselves, we dove into Netflix's chilling Fear Street trilogy and read Prom Queen by R.L. Stine, the book the new film is based on.
00:00:45
Speaker
Crystal, stop shaking your head. I'm devastated over here.
Nostalgia and R.L. Stine's Impact
00:00:51
Speaker
Now we're ready to dive into all things Fear Street, our nostalgic ties to the series, reactions to the movies, thoughts on Prom Queen book, and all our cheering theory chi chilling theories hello for what the new film might bring at the end of this month.
00:01:09
Speaker
I want to start with our personal history with R.L. Stine, who, according to his website, has been scaring people all around the world for a lot of years, selling over 400 million books.
00:01:23
Speaker
He wrote his first horror novel in 1986 and created the Fear Street series in 1989, which became the best-selling young adult series in history with over 100 books and even more art even being published recently.
00:01:42
Speaker
and In 1992, he became began a series that many probably know called Goosebumps, which became a hit worldwide, including a series and a movie adaptation.
Personal Experiences with R.L. Stine's Books
00:01:56
Speaker
From 2023 to now, R.L. Stine is even publishing comic books and graphic novels. There are even more adaptations, including the Haunting Hour series, which became a TV show, and you know the Fear Street movies, which we will be covering today.
00:02:13
Speaker
On his website, there's actually like an entire bookshelf section of every single R.L. Stine book, including checklists, page numbers, publication dates, series each book is related to,
00:02:26
Speaker
It's super helpful if you want to see where you want to dive into next. I'm actually going to link it in the show notes. I thought it was actually pretty cool. But going through all of this and going through all of our R.L. Stine's backlist, I realized personally, i kind of missed out on all the R.L. Stine hype as a kid.
00:02:46
Speaker
What about you guys? That was my jam. Oh, I know, Lindsay. I'm not even surprised. Yeah, Lindsay, what about you? i Yeah, I've been reading R.L. Stine since probably elementary school. i used to get the books at the Scholastic Book Fair.
00:03:05
Speaker
um And apparently I stole a book. ah Sorry, Brandon Weeks. I stole your goosebumps. and Written on the cover for anyone that's listening.
00:03:16
Speaker
So, yeah, I've been reading this. I mean, this is circa 1994 and circa 1995. yeah. It's been a while. How many do you think that you've read? I can't even tell you.
00:03:28
Speaker
My favorites were always the, I think they're called give yourself goosebumps. They're the choose your own adventure. And okay I would literally read through it and make the decisions. And then I'd go read it again and make different decisions.
00:03:42
Speaker
They were my favorites. I read so many of them. I couldn't give you a number. So you've read Goosebumps. Have you read Fear Street ones? and and Not as many. I've mostly read the Goosebumps. But yeah, this one is a Fear Street.
00:03:55
Speaker
This is Final Grade. I think this is Fear Street number 30. So this is After Prom Queen. Have you read anything like of his most recent stuff at all?
00:04:07
Speaker
No, I haven't. I'll have to actually look into that. her I probably haven't read any since middle school. yeah Probably not even high school. yeah What about you, Crystal?
00:04:18
Speaker
This was... fear Street was huge when i was raid around that like seven, eight, nine age when it was like first coming out.
00:04:31
Speaker
And so I was not allowed to read it because I was, it was just a little bit too mature for me. And then about the time it was really, really popular and I was old enough to read it, I realized right away that this was not my jam.
00:04:48
Speaker
My sisters, my little sisters on the other hand, had a whole collection of Goosebumps and Fear Street and they just loved this. So I read like one or two, like when I would go visit and I would read it to them because that was my thing. Whenever I would go home to visit, I would read to my little sisters.
00:05:07
Speaker
And so this is one of the things that we read after we read some more age appropriate things. i just
Fear Street Trilogy Overview and Reactions
00:05:15
Speaker
I just don't like this kind of stuff. it's not So i didn't I don't have a ton of experience with it.
00:05:21
Speaker
And I felt a little out of my depth trying to read some of these. because I did go back and look at some of them. And I was just like, I don't know. They're definitely written for a younger audience.
00:05:31
Speaker
And so it wasn't as scary to me now as an adult as it probably would have been then. But it just didn't really do anything for me. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
00:05:42
Speaker
yeah So I don't, I don't, I'm, you know, I think at the time when I, when it was popular and I would have been the right age, I realized right away this isn't, this isn't for me, you know? Yeah. I, I think I kind of remember maybe picking up like a Goosebumps book when I was younger, but nothing like significant to where I can remember reading many of his books or anything like that.
00:06:10
Speaker
This is actually my first experience reading a Fear Street book ever. So that was really fun for me.
00:06:21
Speaker
And honestly, i love an author that has like a really big backlist. Like em immediately, like my hoarder brain is just like, oh, I need to collect them and get them all.
00:06:35
Speaker
That's how I feel. Like I've been like researching so much for this episode where I'm like, I see a checklist. Mm hmm. of all the books. And I'm just like, I need all of them on my bookshelf immediately. And I'm such like a thrifter. Like I always go to secondhand bookshops all the time. So I'm like, now this is like an extra thing i can go look on for, look at the shelves for it. I'm just, I'm like, oh my gosh.
00:07:02
Speaker
But yeah this is definitely like a first experience for me personally. But the whole time I was reading these and watching these movies, the entire time i was like, oh, this is so like Lindsay. Love this for Lindsay. oh Whole time I'm like, Crystal.
00:07:19
Speaker
Oh, my God, Crystal. i will i The whole time I really wanted to message you and be like, are you okay? Checking in, Crystal. Are you are you doing well? Thank you. ah appreciate your concern.
00:07:32
Speaker
These movies are Way different from the books. Yeah. So let's, yeah, let's get into some adaptation stuff, starting with a little spoiler warning from here on out. We will be diving into major plot details and twists from the fear street trilogy and prom queen by RL Stein. So if you want to avoid spoilers, stop the episode now, watch the movies, read the book and come back to us. So you won't miss out on all the fun for some of us, not one of us. but but
00:08:07
Speaker
Note that the movies are graphic and gory and rated R, which is very different than its young adult books. Young adult books, fiercely books are graphic, but not rated R slash or movie graphic.
00:08:24
Speaker
So please be aware of that. going into the movies if you watch them. For reference, I would let a 12-year-old, 13-year-old read the books. I would not let a 12- or 13-year-old watch the movies. Yeah.
00:08:37
Speaker
That's just... Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. So I want to get into this Fear Street trilogy first, starting kind of with a quick overview of what the Fear Street trilogy is of like what Netflix did with this trilogy.
00:08:57
Speaker
Which we kind of picked up this trilogy because, you know, they're coming out with a new movie. This trilogy is technically not based on a specific story, right?
00:09:08
Speaker
No, it's inspired by. It's inspired by the prequel trilogy. It's like the Fear Street Saga spinoff.
00:09:19
Speaker
which specifically talks about Shady's side and how it came to be. That's like the fears, the goods, all that stuff, and the rivalry but rivalry between them.
00:09:31
Speaker
That's kind of what they're playing off of in this trilogy, but it's not based off a specific story, kind of like what its new spinoff Prom Queen is going to be.
00:09:44
Speaker
So we watched all three movies to kind of prep ourselves for this new release. And I'm just going to kind of go an overview of what they're about. So it's three different parts, 1994, 1978, 19, or 1666. Part one.
00:09:57
Speaker
nineteenth sixteen sixty six part one And they're all related to each other. Part one is about a group of teens in the cursed town of Shadyside discovers that their community's gruesome history of mass murders is tied to a witch named Sarah Fear.
00:10:14
Speaker
When a group of killers returns from the dead, they must uncover the truth to survive. Then it goes to part two, back in time to 1978. The story flashes back to 1978 at Camp Nightwing, where a summer camp turns deadly.
00:10:31
Speaker
as another massacre unfolds, the origins of the curse become clearer as the current days the current day teens from part one learn more about Sarah Fier's past.
00:10:46
Speaker
And then we jump to part three in 1666, where the final part travels back in time, 1666, revealing the origins of the curse.
00:10:57
Speaker
Tells the story of Sarah Fear herself, the events that led to her being labeled as a witch. And then the truth about who actually cursed Shadyside is uncovered.
00:11:08
Speaker
And the trilogy returns back to 1994 for a final showdown with like the main villain of the story. So it's kind of an overview of all three. There's a really good overview.
00:11:20
Speaker
Oh, thank you. Thank you. Quite nicely. in my head, yeah, yeah. So in my head, I kind of have a ranking of all three movies, watched all three movies, which ones I enjoyed the most to, I mean, personally to me, I really, I felt like Netflix, Netflix was in their bag.
00:11:43
Speaker
With these movies. They were in their Everyone knows Crystal doesn't do scary. Yeah. I liked these movies. They were terrifying.
00:11:54
Speaker
i am having nightmares. i I don't. but I enjoyed them. I hated them. I hated them. They were awful. But also kind of the best.
00:12:05
Speaker
Yeah, like they were low-key kind of like smart. Yes. And like entertaining and just like kind of fun. And also vibe like the 1994 to the 1978, whatever that was.
00:12:20
Speaker
it Like those two like eras with the soundtracks and the pop culture references. Like that's my jam as an 80s baby, 90s kid like – loved that you know and so like it it kind of matched that vibe that perfect like the 1994 and the Shadyside mall and the like the look of the mall and the clothes they were immediately the bookstore coming in and we've got like the different even just like the different books that were in and the gadzooks there was a gadzooks and I was like like just a little crystal history one of my first ever grown-up jobs was at a gadzooks all I did was fold t-shirts
00:13:03
Speaker
But like, so it was really like, eat I felt like taken back. Like I was immersed in that and it was so well done. Although the music didn't necessarily match with the 1994 year.
00:13:18
Speaker
it was still Really, really enjoyable. The books
Favorite Elements and Horror Adaptation Techniques
00:13:23
Speaker
in the bookstore, they were written by um Robert Lawrence, which is what RL stands for. huh so i liked that.
00:13:30
Speaker
they There were so many small little details that they put in.
00:13:35
Speaker
noticed that and i'm I noticed a couple small little details throughout and I'm hoping that they do the same for Prom Queen, that they sprinkle, you know, some of the like small little random things that don't necessarily matter, but are fun to see. I hope we see that in Prom Queen too. Yeah. I even at the end part three, where she's wearing all the books as like a shield.
00:14:02
Speaker
my Whenever she took that off, i was like, oh my gosh, that's amazing. Love that. Yep. So good. Yeah. I just like the vibes. Like, the vibes were just fun. The soundtrack is so good.
00:14:18
Speaker
i mean, there was definitely, I know in, like, the 1978 one, there was, like, different, like, phrases that they were using that was like this the things that they were saying was like okay this doesn't feel like that's 78 but it's fine whatever like they were doing a little much there was like phrase they were like saying things that was like very like 60s yeah i think uh one of the characters used the phrase shagadelic yes yes and i was like oh okay sure
00:14:49
Speaker
Yeah, there were a couple of moments. like You could tell that they changed the language. They changed the music. they changed like When they took you back to the 70s, they tried to get the 70s vibe.
00:15:00
Speaker
And it's the same with the 90s, right? Because like we discussed it earlier. the so the music from the 1994 movie, some of it actually... was clearly trying to fit the 90s vibe, but it came out after 1994. So if you're looking for like perfect authentic...
00:15:14
Speaker
This isn't it. If you're looking for the vibe, though, they got it right. And they did that with the 70s movie, too. They got that 70s vibe really well. Yeah, for sure. So I want us to each, like, rank, like, favorite to least favorite, even though we all enjoyed it.
00:15:34
Speaker
Like, what was, like, your top one out of the three? And then, like, your least favorite at the bottom. Like, to me, my ranking, my top favorite was 1978.
00:15:44
Speaker
Part two that was the top. Love that one. So, so good. Second favorite 1994. Third favorite was 1666. Same.
00:15:56
Speaker
Yeah. yeah No, you got that right. And the thing is, I want to say that like, 1666 was my favorite because it ties everything kind of yeah together and you start to see the pictures go and i like that but you wouldn't have even needed that without so like the camp nightwing and like yeah i think you're right yes something about camp nightwing yes that was peak that was peak out of all three like I think, well, so part one is very much like Scream vibes, right?
00:16:30
Speaker
Mm-hmm. There was definitely the Scream, the scene where he's chasing her and grabs her from behind and stabs her, which is like almost scene for scene from the first Scream with Drew Barrymore's character. yeah They changed the stab scene slightly because I think in Scream, he reaches around and stabs her from the front.
00:16:50
Speaker
And then... This one, I think he stabs her in the back. But yeah, that's... it's yeah Even with... There's the calling as well. a lot of like situations like that. too that was But okay, so I was alive during the 90s.
00:17:05
Speaker
and I remember the scary movies that were out during the 90s. And I did watch a couple at the time when they came out. And I can say that 1994 didn't just set the scene of the 1990s, but it really kind of fit the very typical nineteen ninety s scary movie progression that that that framework i think that's part of what really took me back to loved i and love i love just i love these yes yes you guys are getting me into scary movies and i don't know how i feel about that but she loved it here's the problem though i'm gonna go to bed tonight after talking about this and i'm not gonna sleep
00:17:49
Speaker
I'm going to listen to all the sounds going around outside my apartment. And I'm going to think, is that a killer? is that Ruby Lane? but Is that who's singing? Right? yeah No.
00:18:02
Speaker
Nobody better be singing outside your window. I'm telling you. Is that Tommy? like and It's not going to be good. Yeah. Part two is very much Friday the 13th, very Camp Crystal Lake with Jason running around.
00:18:16
Speaker
Okay, I have a confession. I've actually never seen Friday the 13th. Me neither. Dream Club. But i watch so i have this thing where I love watching people do like gameplay all the time.
00:18:30
Speaker
I love watching people do video games. And my one of my favorite things to watch is people play the Friday the 13th video game. Not the original or the original?
00:18:41
Speaker
Like the old school 8-bit or the more recent one? The more recent one. The more recent one. I love watching people stream that and play that. And so I'm just like obsessed with watching that. So then that's the only way I know any type of lore about it.
00:18:58
Speaker
So whenever I was watching the movie, I was like, yes, this is the vibe. This is the vibe. I love, I just love like, um... Like a summer spooky vibe.
00:19:10
Speaker
The summer slasher movie. yeah Summer slasher. Like that is the way to go for me. I love that. So good. Kane Hodder was my favorite Jason and I have his autograph.
00:19:21
Speaker
ah Wow. oh But it's funny. Jason Voorhees isn't my favorite. Even though I know a lot about Friday the 13th. I have his autograph, but I don't really like him. is that my favorite Well, Kane Hodder is my favorite Jason, but Jason's not my favorite serial killer. Yeah, yeah.
00:19:38
Speaker
Okay. So part three, according to the director, they compare it to the new world, which I haven't seen that, so I couldn't tell you how accurate that is.
00:19:52
Speaker
So also all three movies came out in 2021 and they all came out like same month, like right after the other. And I'm just like thinking about like, oh my gosh, like that would be so much fun to experience all of these coming out the same. Like what, what was I doing in 2021?
00:20:11
Speaker
not living it up, watching these movies with everybody else.
The Cast and Film Techniques
00:20:16
Speaker
We were at work. Yeah, I'm disappointed in myself. I'm disappointed myself. And the cast was great. I want to talk about the cast because acting, top tier, absolutely loved it.
00:20:30
Speaker
I'm actually surprised. There were two cast members. I only recognized two cast members from Stranger Things. Sadie Sink, who is mostly in part two and a little bit in part three whenever they flashback.
00:20:44
Speaker
And Maya Hawke, who's in it for one second in part one. See her. She's like the first person that's killed off in part one, ah which is I was literally shocked by. was like, oh, my gosh, Maya Hawke's in it.
00:20:58
Speaker
She's probably like a big name person that's going to be in it for ah lot of this movie. See ya. yeah Drew Barrymore. Just like Drew Barrymore. Yeah.
00:21:09
Speaker
Yeah. But there's a lot of like, I mean, the girl who plays, a um is what's her name? Dina? Yeah. Dina, the main character, one of the main characters.
00:21:22
Speaker
I think she does an incredible job throughout all these movies And the girl plays Sam does such a great job.
00:21:36
Speaker
ah I just, like, really loved it. I was, like, so invested in all the relationships, all the – just all the characters ah with the girl who plays C. Berman and, like, the sister relationship in part two I loved it. What do you guys think about the cast?
00:21:56
Speaker
I didn't recognize anyone, but yeah that's just because I don't watch a ton of newer stuff until you you guys force me to. So I didn't recognize anybody, but there was at no point was I taken out of the story because it wasn't believable, like, or the acting wasn't believable, which happens...
00:22:16
Speaker
So much even with bigger name actors, you know, sometimes they just don't quite hit it. And so you don't fall into the story. But with all of the acting in this, I fell right into the story. It was all believable.
00:22:30
Speaker
They were the cat character they were portraying. And it was really awesome, especially from the 1994 storyline to the 1666 storyline. We see some of the same actors playing different characters because we they're like flashing back or being shown, you know, the true story or whatever.
00:22:50
Speaker
yeah. No, italy like it even took me a second to realize that's what was happening because they were playing the character so well. I was like, oh, wait, that's that's isn't she say if that Sam like, you know, it took me a second to catch it.
00:23:05
Speaker
Yeah. And I think that's really genuinely a sign of some great acting is that they play multiple parts in the same series. And I didn't even freaking notice at first, you know. Yeah, whenever they were... So, in the part three, 1666, they're flashing back, like you said, to Sarah Fear trying to figure out everything that's going on in the past that's caused originally caused this curse.
00:23:34
Speaker
And all of like the people in the past that's like their bloodline are played by the actors...
00:23:46
Speaker
In parts one and two which I thought was like so good. Yes. And so fun. i really enjoyed that. And I thought it was I i just love that.
00:23:57
Speaker
I like I've seen that happen before in other movies. But back to the future. Yeah. yeah Yep. This really had like hardcore back to the future vibes. And it was amazing.
00:24:10
Speaker
Yeah, I guess. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I was thinking more of the village, but yeah. Yeah. It was like, okay, so in Back to the Future, they filmed all three parts back to back to back and then released them, I think, a year apart. But they were all filmed continuously using the same actors and in three different timelines.
00:24:28
Speaker
Four different timelines. Four different timelines. So... it's it kind of the same style, right? We have these three different timelines, but we get the same characters through each of the timelines.
00:24:41
Speaker
Well, through two of the timelines. But it's really still kind of neat, especially since they were all, they had to have been filmed together to have been released as quickly as they were together. You know what i mean?
00:24:52
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I am curious before we get into a little game that we're going to play. ending is kind of leaves not necessarily like a cliffhanger. The ending of the third movie or part three, necessarily a cliffhanger, but there is this moment at the very end of part three where, you know, everything comes out that,
00:25:22
Speaker
Serafier is not the one that's cursing everyone Shadyside. It's actually the Goods, ah which is ah originally started with, I can't remember. Solomon. Solomon. Started with Solomon Good.
00:25:41
Speaker
And then its entire bloodline has always been cursing Shadysiders since then. and they using this book... That's basically like contacting Satan to make a sacrifice.
00:25:56
Speaker
Right. Some sort of grimoire or something. Yeah. Yeah. So at the end, basically, you know, they finally get rid of this guy but the book is grabbed away and the end.
00:26:11
Speaker
So I'm wondering if either you have any theories of like who took this book at the end. I don't think it matters. But I think the idea of the book is that even though we we end up finding out that it was Solomon Good and the Good family that ultimately used the book, the book itself is the evil.
00:26:35
Speaker
The book itself is the problem. Yeah. so that doesn't end the
Ending Speculations and Graphic Violence Discussion
00:26:41
Speaker
story, right? Until the book is destroyed Mm-hmm. Anybody can can pick this up again, which I think is going to help hopefully bring more Fear Street movies to us.
00:26:53
Speaker
Yeah, definitely. Because I need them. need that. honestly love this so much. And it was an excellent date night movie. I watched um the first one with a date, and it was really fun, especially since we're right around the same age, so we were totally vibing with the 90s stuff.
00:27:10
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I watched the other two alone and seriously, I still hate you guys for that.
00:27:18
Speaker
i need more. I'm not going to watch these alone. Okay, so the second one, actually, was – the second one I love. I love the second one, but it was honestly to me –
00:27:31
Speaker
Out of the three, the most gruesome. Because I could not believe that they were killing kids. kid The killing kids actually sent me.
00:27:43
Speaker
I was like, wow, they're actually killing young children in this. It was pretty messed up. But in the first one with the meat slicer, the bread, whatever the hell that was. The bread cutter.
00:27:56
Speaker
Yeah, no. I was like, oh, they won't show it. They won't show it. They showed it Oh, yeah, they showed every little slice of meat on that covered my head and made my date like tell me when it was clear.
00:28:09
Speaker
And I was like are you sure? was like, yeah, do you want pause it? Do you need to take a break? And I was like, maybe. It was so bad. it was funny because there was actually a big debate on whether or not or whether or not a bread cutter could do that.
00:28:23
Speaker
So they practiced And there was only one person who was like, oh, this is going to work. This is going to work. And yeah, it worked. It was funny. Having worked someplace where we had like meat slicers and bread cutters and all that stuff is incredibly freaking sharp.
00:28:41
Speaker
I did not know. that one They were the ones that cheered when it actually worked. So don't I don't think I would cheer. Yeah, that one was pretty... that was But like the axe, Tommy in Camp Nightwing with the axe and they were just showing heads split open like melons. it was yeah I just like could not believe like little kids. like They were young kids.
00:29:05
Speaker
That was the biggest difference between the first movie and the second movie is that in the first movie they explain the killers are only after the people who came into contact with the witches bones.
00:29:18
Speaker
Right. But in the second one, he was just killing anybody. Yeah. Well, but in ok so but in the first one the first killer in the very opening scenes at the mall was killing just anyone they could get their hands on.
00:29:33
Speaker
And so I think those are two separate things that happen. You know what I mean? but They were also in the mall. And what else was in the mall?
00:29:44
Speaker
Yeah. The tree. The bones. Which was crazy. Like putting that. wow, we're going to put this tree that like literally traumatized every single person. has all this terrible thing that happened to everyone in the middle of this mall.
00:29:57
Speaker
Also, there's no way that tree was 300 years old and looking as healthy as it was in the mall. There are plenty of trees in the world that do live many, many, many years, hundreds of years.
00:30:08
Speaker
But like your typical oak or elm tree is not one of them. Just saying. I was like, there is no way that is the tree from 1660. The minute they came they shot back to that, I was like, mm-mm.
00:30:23
Speaker
That's when they lost me. So back to... So I think the reason why we have Like Sam was being chased by all the killers because she. Because she came into contact with the bones. she came in contact with bones. But she wasn't someone that was being sacrificed.
00:30:42
Speaker
Right. so Well, because, okay, so we have the good family curse, right? The goods that are causing, they're putting the names up for someone to become a serial killer.
00:30:53
Speaker
Right. And that person is like possessed by the devil and the devil uses them to kill people. But then we have Sarah fears curse and there was one who come in contact with her bones. She is going to haunt you.
00:31:06
Speaker
and or she's going to try to show you right She tried to show them what happened. hu But then the goods, the the Satan possessed people were like, we can't let the story out. So now we have to kill the person who knows the story or who saw part of it. Whoever Sarah told.
00:31:25
Speaker
yeah And so that's why anybody who had Sarah, like, if because the blood got in the bone, and so that was their blood that the serial killers were after.
00:31:35
Speaker
and so if you bled on someone else, and they were going to come after you, it was... Except they also killed the people in the hospital, which they may or may not have come in contact with Sam and her blood. Who knows?
00:31:46
Speaker
well but And let's just point out that, like, I don't understand how someone was getting blood everywhere on everything. It was like, oh, my blood is on my shirt.
00:31:58
Speaker
And now it's also on your shirt. And now I drop it on your shoes. And like, girl, if you're bleeding, stand still. Let's clean this up. Just saying. Yeah. Bloodborne pathogens are real, folks.
00:32:08
Speaker
Yeah. let's I've taken too many first aid trainings to to know like why you let your blood just get everywhere like that. Freaked me out. All over the mall.
00:32:19
Speaker
It's all over
The Final Slashdown Game
00:32:20
Speaker
the mall. like Y'all did not get the like AIDS education that I got in the ninety s Don't do that. yeah they knew better They all knew better too. Yeah.
00:32:30
Speaker
All right, so now it's time for game I created called the Final Slashdown. Also Traumatized Crystal. It's the Final Slashdown.
00:32:49
Speaker
Oh, Lord. So in the movies, like we said, we encounter many Shadyside killers. So I created tournament bracket. where all the slashers will go against each other.
00:33:03
Speaker
are going to vote and see which slasher would end up on top at the end. Now, these are the obvious slashers. Like, we're not putting the entire good family bloodline on here.
00:33:15
Speaker
all right? So just the obvious campy ones. But to be fair, they were technically all possessed and sacrificed to Satan by someone in the good bloodline.
00:33:26
Speaker
All right? So I'm going to give an example. so for like the first one we're going to say like Humpty Dumpty Killer versus The Grifter. We're going to decide which one would win against each other.
00:33:41
Speaker
And then when we decide that, they'll move on to the next round and go against two other ones. And then they'll go against each other. And eventually we're going down to only one slasher who would just defeat them all.
00:33:54
Speaker
All right. um ready. Okay. All right, let's start. The final slashtown. Thanks, Lindsay. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready. Let's do it.
00:34:09
Speaker
So I totally shuffled these. So I don't even know what's being compared to what. So these might be completely obvious, but eventually they'll get more difficult.
00:34:21
Speaker
So I'm going to start with The first two slashers that will go against each other is the Camp Nightwing Killer, which we know is Tommy Slater from 1978 era.
00:34:37
Speaker
He uses an axe. He was the counselor who was turned into murderous slasher at camp. And he's going to go against Billy Barker.
00:34:48
Speaker
He's from 1922. nineteen twenty two He uses a bat with spikes. He's that he was little creepy boy with a porcelain mask.
00:34:59
Speaker
His lore, he was smashed his brother's head. is He had several brothers. He smashed their heads while they slept with his bat with spikes.
00:35:12
Speaker
So they're going to go against each other. going to say Tommy. I'm going Tommy. Yeah, because like You know, the whoever this is, the kid, Billy Barker, waited until his brothers were asleep.
00:35:25
Speaker
Tommy you had to chase chase people down. Also, that's a kid. Like, he could literally, like, dropkick that kid. Okay. See ya. All right.
00:35:36
Speaker
This man has an axe. All right. yeah He's gone. He's a little kid with a little... Mask, he's fine. See you. Bye. Bye. All right. Next one.
00:35:49
Speaker
Going against each other in our tournament. The Skull Mask Killer, which is Ryan Torres in 1994. He was in the mall. He's the possessed mall employee, and he had a knife.
00:36:00
Speaker
Going against the pastor, Cyrus Miller, from 1666-17. sixteen sixty six He was technically considered the first possessed killer and he was gouged out the eyes of children.
00:36:16
Speaker
So we got to see who who's going to win in this one. I'm going Miller or the skull mask killer. I'm going skull mask. I think you're right because literally Cyrus was taken down by being stabbed. Yeah.
00:36:31
Speaker
With a pitchfork. but True. But just got nice yeah Skull Mask was smart. He was fast. He was fast. was brutal.
00:36:42
Speaker
I think the only reason the pastor got all those kids was that they were probably afraid to say no to the pastor at first. You know what mean? Like we're supposed to trust this guy. i feel like he was more psychological yeah than anything.
00:36:56
Speaker
Absolutely. I agree. Alright next up we have The milkman, the milkman is Harry Rooker from the 1950s, used a meat cleaver, would kill housewives while delivering milk and smiling.
00:37:16
Speaker
And if you remember, the way he was walking was scary. And whenever he was trying to attack them, when all the killers were going against each other, and did not like that man.
00:37:27
Speaker
Going against Ruby Lane. Oh. From 1965, she used a straight razor, sang lullabies as she cut her seven friends and then eventually killed herself.
00:37:41
Speaker
These two are, this is a hard matchup. yes this Yeah, this is difficult. Yeah, this one's hard. I don't like the milkman, man. I don't like him. He really scares me.
00:37:52
Speaker
He was creepy. Like a straight razor versus a meat cleaver. like I feel like with a meat cleaver, too, he could throw it. Whereas a straight razor, even if she were able to throw it with great aim or whatever, like she's also smaller than him. He's probably got a bigger reach on her.
00:38:12
Speaker
She's probably faster. She's probably faster. That's that's my only like hang-up here. Also, Ruby, I feel like, is more likable. like Ruby definitely tried to sneak up up on people. yeah She she was assuming would sneak up and like kind of...
00:38:27
Speaker
work her way in, gaslight you into thinking she was nice, and then kill you. Yeah, totally. Whereas Milkman dude would just, like, get it done with. Well, you would look at him and know he was creepy, like. Yeah.
00:38:39
Speaker
That's true. There ain't trick in there. Just the way he would, like, smile and, like, slowly walk up to them, it's, like, terrifying. Mm-mm. I don't know on this one. and I'm gonna say Milkman just because he's bigger, and I think, you know, she'd have to, like, really reach up pretty high to get to that throat.
00:38:57
Speaker
I'm gonna to Milkman too. I'm going Ruby. um Really? ah yeah interesting. Even the way they treated her in the movies. They were scared her. She was always like final boss. Like they'd step aside and let her come through and do like the final kill. That's so true. You're right. Yeah. Honestly.
00:39:18
Speaker
okay I'm switching to Ruby. I'm gonna switch to Ruby. Okay. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. That actually makes complete sense. Okay, next one.
00:39:30
Speaker
Okay, we've got the Humpty Dumpty Killer. We never saw the Humpty Dumpty Killer. This was actually supposed to be in the 1994 movie, but it actually got cut.
00:39:41
Speaker
The Humpty Dumpty Killer's name appears on the wall in part two of the 1978 movie as a past murderer. The clippings on the newspaper say that he killed his victims by dismembering their body parts and would mishmash them.
00:39:58
Speaker
their different body parts together. That is the Humpty Dumpty Killer. We don't know what weapon they used, but that's how they dealt with their victims. Against the Grifter from 1904, used a switchblade.
00:40:13
Speaker
He wears a skull mask, but it almost looks like a gas mask. ah We saw him kind of terrifying is lore going off newspaper clippings targets single moms and murdered four women at a shady side tavern i don't like that guy yeah fuck that guy yeah pretty much pretty much both of these are actually really scare me i don't like either of these guys nope I don't know what to do here.
00:40:46
Speaker
Mishmashing body parts of people or the guy going after mothers. You know what? You know what? Okay. So this Humpty Dumpty killer with the mishmashing. For all we know, he just runs up to you and whacks you really fast.
00:41:02
Speaker
But like the grifter seems like he's insidious and would try to like. also uses a switchblade. I don't know if I said that or not. You did. i don't I don't like that. The idea that he would like.
00:41:15
Speaker
stalk me, figure me out, try to... I don't like that. I would rather just be like off me right away. so I'm gonna...
00:41:24
Speaker
I'm gonna say the Humpty Dumpty Killer is gonna come out on top in these two. Yeah. The grifter, the mask though, the mask really scares me. Freaky. I don't like that mask. He reminds me of Ryan Torres.
00:41:40
Speaker
So I assume... his abilities would be very similar to Ryan Torres. So I'm assuming he's fast. I'm assuming he's smart and brutal. Probably.
00:41:50
Speaker
um did move really fast in the movie. Uh-huh. Do we know how many killers each or how many murders each one of them did? That's where I'm like, well, maybe we just, it's obvious. But Grifter murdered four women. Okay.
00:42:03
Speaker
But we don't know about the Humpty Dumpty killer. Yeah, we know very little about the Humpty Dumpty killer. Which means he probably got away with an awful lot. or he Or he was killed and only got like a few.
00:42:18
Speaker
I don't know. don't know. I'm going to trust Lindsay's judgment on this one. Yeah. Yeah, I agree. yeah I'm going Grifter. All right. Let's go Grifter. All right.
00:42:29
Speaker
All right. Now we're in our next round. Yeah. Next one. We're going to go the Grifter versus Ruby Lane. So, Grifter... A switchblade versus a straight razor.
00:42:45
Speaker
Grifter... Versus Ruby Lane. oh no. I don't know why I kind of want to say Ruby Lane. I'm going Ruby Lane. I'm going say her. The more I think on it, Ruby Lane is the one that everyone was scared of the most. Yes. They were. i were. I'm thinking 1994 when they're in the the supermarket, the drugstore,
00:43:09
Speaker
and And everyone stops for Ruby. Yeah, everyone's running around and they literally stop and she comes out of the back room. Yeah. like yeah Ruby. And they hear, just hearing her sing, they're just terrified.
00:43:22
Speaker
Alright, let's go Ruby. I like it. Alright, this one is actually really hard for me. Skull Mask Killer versus the Camp Nightwing Killer.
00:43:36
Speaker
ah Camp Nightwing Killer, Tommy. Yeah. Yeah. yeah yeah i'm gonna to agree i think i know who's gonna come out on top here i don't know because now last round yep tommy versus ruby yep versus tommy camp nightwing killer um i'm gonna have to go with camp nightwing killer yeah i'm going i'm going tommy on this one yeah okay here's the thing tommy moved kind of slow I felt like he was running so fast. when In the movie, he was, I was like, oh my gosh.
00:44:08
Speaker
He was like stomping and climbing. He swung the axe fast. he did He did actually run though. Yeah, he was running with that axe. And I was like, I hate that.
00:44:20
Speaker
You don't normally see it, but yeah, he was running. Yeah. But nobody, okay, so also at the end of, like, in when they're in the mall and they're all battling, Tommy got, like, choppered by the others pretty quickly. Mm-hmm. And they were all still scared of Ruby.
00:44:35
Speaker
I'm just saying. Yeah. She's, she might be the... It was the fact that Tommy was decapitated, but then still came back. True.
00:44:47
Speaker
Also, that axe has a much better reach on it than street razor would. i totally agree. I don't know. i had I feel strongly about the Camp Nightwing killer. that i think it's really wild that these two particular killers are back-to-back in the timeline, too. Ruby Lane was the serial killer, and then the next one in the line of things was Tommy.
00:45:10
Speaker
And then the the Ryan Torres, the mask killer. So, i ah okay, I think you're right. Probably Tommy. That axe, really.
00:45:22
Speaker
Yeah, the axe, really, i think that's going to be... The end all. It's mostly because he he gives ah Jason Voorhees energy and he just keeps coming back.
00:45:33
Speaker
Yeah. He sure knew. doesn't die. And he, the way that, I don't know, like he was, at one point he was just like stomping with the axe. I'm like, oh, we can get away from this guy. No problem.
00:45:45
Speaker
Then one time he was sprinting with it. was like, I can't get away from this guy. There's no way. This guy really freaks me out. And I don't like it. Well, whenever we were in part two and ah it was very obvious, I was like, okay, so we're learning this is like the origin story of the guy with the axe, right?
00:46:03
Speaker
And then there was a point where like he doesn't have like the sack over his head. yeah And then one point they throw the sack over his head and it like comes together. like We all know that it's the guy, but just like you get who the killer looks like in the end.
00:46:21
Speaker
ye I don't know. It was so good. just love that. It was so good. I love how all the pieces slowly trickled, started yeah coming together. It was really so well done.
00:46:32
Speaker
And the burlap sack, Jason Voorhees had the burlap sack before he had the hockey mask. So that was, yeah. Yeah, totally inspired. i I love that. So now have our final slasher who won.
00:46:47
Speaker
We've got our Camp Nightwing killer. ah Now that we have relived the trauma that was the Fear Street films, let's talk about Prom Queen. which is the newest Fear Street spinoff movie releasing by Netflix at the end of May.
00:47:04
Speaker
And the first movie in this film series that they are doing that is actually based on a specific story rather than just the franchise as a whole or pulled from pieces of the books.
00:47:14
Speaker
And because of that, we read the book. The Prom Queen was published in 1992 and is book number 15 in the Fear Street series. From my understanding, ah Fear Street series can be read on their own individually, but you can read it. i think there's some little bits and pieces that you can understand if you read it in order, but mostly it can be read by itself.
R.L. Stine's "Prom Queen" Discussion
00:47:41
Speaker
The book is about prom queen candidates that are selected for Shadyside High Prom, but one brutal murder in another and another quickly turns this prom into something that no one is looking forward to. Our main character, Lizzie McVeigh, realizes someone is murdering the five prom queen candidates one by one, and she might be next.
00:48:05
Speaker
So I kind of want to get into our ratings that we each got for the book. I want to start with Lindsay. Okay.
00:48:17
Speaker
ah So my rating for this book is four scream queens. Oh my gosh. Okay.
00:48:30
Speaker
I thought it was, it's it's all my fault. I thought it was predictable because I knew who it was immediately.
00:48:41
Speaker
But also, ah ah just, the characters really got on my nerves. so i did not know who. Of course not.
00:48:51
Speaker
I knew it. I knew that. I'm going to keep going, Lindsay. I'm sorry. You all figured that part out, too. I didn't want you to think I was laughing at you. oh I knew exactly what you were laughing at.
00:49:04
Speaker
They just... played into the whole plot of the story, but these people were really not friends. No. Yeah. So, they got on my nerves.
00:49:18
Speaker
But, yeah, I really enjoyed the story. I love ah love a good whodunit slasher... kind of thing so hu yeah yeah what about you crystal i give it three maria von trapps
00:49:34
Speaker
for similar reasons it was really predictable to me i knew right away who done it like pretty dang instantly i was like oh that's obvious huh it was
00:49:48
Speaker
i Lindsay, you're like, these girls were not friends. And I'm over here like I grew up in a so small town where even when you weren't friends, these were the girls in your class and your age range.
00:50:01
Speaker
You hung out with them if you didn't absolutely freaking hate each other, you know. So I kind of get where they were forced to to be friends to to make themselves friends or feel like they that's what friendship should be like or is but it still was really grating on my nerves the way they treated each other so ah yeah yeah Carrie okay
00:50:27
Speaker
I gave it four shady friends and shady side i really liked it a lot I had a lot of fun.
00:50:37
Speaker
i did not predict a damn thing in this book per usual. hate myself.
00:50:47
Speaker
I really tried so hard. I really did.
00:50:54
Speaker
I love it I did. literally was I literally reading it and I was like, wonder if Carrie's going to get this one.
00:51:06
Speaker
Nope. absolutely not i can't wait and i was like this is so obvious i can't wait to the day to be like you guys i actually got it this time you'll get there ah believe in you i was really trying so hard i was like oh i'm so gonna get this like because it's a little gray book girl you are not getting this one again There were two shoes and you made me cry.
00:51:42
Speaker
Oh my gosh. I was so mad at myself. But I also like, I mean, maybe I'm just living my naive life and just enjoying myself. i don't freaking know. Who did you be think it was?
00:51:56
Speaker
i thought the entire time. well like I had my suspicions that it was Justin. Of course she did. But was literally. i No, no.
00:52:09
Speaker
It was literally from the very beginning. Like, no joke. The second the guy was introduced, i'm like, it's this guy. This guy right here. It's this guy. The whole time. I'm like, it's always the boyfriend. Always this guy.
00:52:24
Speaker
And then it wasn't. yeah It was not that guy. they They pushed it a little too hard. Yeah. Well, they pushed it at the end and then I was second guess. They pushed it hard at the end. They weren't pushing it the beginning. It wasn't a push in the beginning, but there's this scene where they're at the the diner or the pizza place and she sees him outside flirting with a girl and she runs out there and they get in sort of a little confrontation. Yeah.
00:52:50
Speaker
So they they were like sprinkling. It was like Yeah. But then they like sprinkle literally everyone in the story. She's it could be this person because blah, blah, blah. Or it could be this person because blah, blah, blah.
00:53:01
Speaker
What if it's that person because blah, blah, blah. And the whole time I'm like, not that person. It's not that person either. Me? I'm like, well, what if it is?
00:53:13
Speaker
so lord Oh my gosh. I really was. I was having the time of my life reading this. I literally, don't know. Maybe I'm just easily pleased.
00:53:24
Speaker
I think also because when I read things outside of my normal genre, I just like, because you guys are used to reading like a mystery or, you know, catching like clues and things like that. I'm just not used to reading that.
00:53:41
Speaker
So I'm just like eating it up every time. Like, oh my gosh, this is just so much fun. and then I'm like, oh, I didn't catch on to any of that. Wow. Like, it's literally like a book for kids.
00:53:56
Speaker
like middle schoolers carrie what are you doing but it's fine carrie begins hoarding every thrifted goosebumps and fear street for the next 20 years coming it's really a goosebumps book right 76 books in she finally gets one she calls us up I got it.
00:54:17
Speaker
I got it. We're like, what are talking about? Yeah. No, I did not know who the killer was. So like the book is very much like it's set in high school.
00:54:28
Speaker
you know, we find out that they are, you know, candidates for prom queen. And then eventually these prom queens are either missing or they're eventually...
00:54:42
Speaker
murdered and our main character Lizzie is trying to investigate and see what's going on and just the way it's written feel in my personal opinion i feel like it was very fast paced And the way that the chapters were, each chapter ended on like a little mini cliffhanger where you like have to keep reading the next chapter.
00:55:05
Speaker
Yes. yeah And it was, I thought that was super fun. And there's just like little silly drama in it and like high school drama So, I don't know. i thought I just think it was, like, a fun little mystery book.
00:55:21
Speaker
it is It is kind of, like, corny, but, like, in a fun, like, nostalgic way, if that makes sense. That's how I felt about it. Yeah, for sure. What were, like, everyone's, like, main suspects besides...
00:55:36
Speaker
Who the obvious one was. Just the one Literally just the one.
Anticipation for Prom Queen Movie
00:55:41
Speaker
Just the one. I was like, what was everyone's... Who did you think the killer was? The killer. You're the only one who had like ideas. It's fine. That's hilarious.
00:55:55
Speaker
I enjoyed Lizzie, the main characters, like thinking through who the other killers could be. I enjoyed that. I enjoyed...
00:56:06
Speaker
The parents. And the parents reactions. To what was going on. And how like different parents were like. You have to be home. the Getting really strict. Whereas other parents were like. Common sense safety things.
00:56:19
Speaker
I love how as per usual. All these teenagers. Do the opposite of. Common sense safety things. When there's a serial killer on the loose.
00:56:31
Speaker
Yeah. I have to. Disagree with the parent part. Because there's the scene in the book with Lizzie when she comes home and her parents are gone.
00:56:42
Speaker
And Justin's just sitting in her kitchen eating cake. Yeah. Yeah, that was weird. What was that about? I will say, for her parents, too. Because she was supposedly had the parents that were, like, super safety conscious parents. And they had security system and everything, didn't they? Right. Right.
00:57:00
Speaker
So that was weird. They just left some kid sitting in the house. I don't think they did. Honestly, i don't think they did. i think he let himself in somehow and was eating cake or whatever.
00:57:14
Speaker
and then she came home and then he left before the parents got home. Yeah, he's still a weirdo. He's still a weirdo. Well, he's a jerk, too. He was like cheating on Simone all over the place. dating everyone in the friend group.
00:57:28
Speaker
Like, not okay. Okay. You're going to that. you can't date the same social. You have to like go out of that social circle. Yeah. Also just don't do that. He did go out of the social circle. Well.
00:57:39
Speaker
Stayed in it. Stayed at everyone. Wherever he could find a date, I guess. Yeah. So the movie that's coming out, the screenwriter and director will be different.
00:57:55
Speaker
Producers are the same, which I think is going to be interesting. Could be good. Could be bad. I wonder when they're going to set it. Because this book was in the 90s. It's going to be set in the spring of 1988. Okay. Which is going to be really interesting.
00:58:13
Speaker
Because, well, this is supposed to be like a spinoff. But the fact that it's set in 1988. Between parts and of the trilogy. the trailer. Yeah. and if you look at watch the trailer It shows like a little like poster of camp Nightwing really quick.
00:58:32
Speaker
You would think they would have closed that camp. Yeah. Yeah. I ain't sending my kid there. will. Like, I think maybe it was like possibly maybe a poster talking about what happened at camp Nightwing just like they came across it or something like in the school.
00:58:52
Speaker
But I think it's really interesting that it's between parts one and two. I'm very curious if we're going to... If they're... Instead of following... Like, I'm wondering how much they're going to be following this book.
00:59:07
Speaker
Right. And if they're going to actually associate all this curse stuff that's happening in the original trilogy to... Right. The killings that actually happened in the book. Because there's...
00:59:20
Speaker
I mean, I can't really say too much about the curse relating to this book because I haven't read that spinoff series about the curse and how much it relates to Shadyside.
00:59:32
Speaker
Or the cheerleaders with Sarah Fear, like which is completely different... like Yeah. So I can't talk too much about that. And like if the curse is related to her...
00:59:46
Speaker
Simone, is that her name? Mm-hmm. She's the one who killed the prom queens. It was also spread out over, like, six weeks, whereas the serial killers that are possessed by Satan, they just kill, kill, kill, kill. kill Yeah. so Are we going to have it where Simone is the killer, but it's it's because she is going to be somebody that was, like, sacrificed by...
01:00:14
Speaker
Right. Or is this going to be a completely different storyline altogether? Who knows? yeah Yeah. So I am curious what they're going to do with that. I am curious if like there's going to be characters in it that are maybe descendants of like the good family.
Conclusion and Listener Engagement
01:00:29
Speaker
who Maybe. Maybe we might see some characters that we know from parts one and two. what do you guys think? Do you have any movie predictions? Yeah.
01:00:40
Speaker
I honestly, i I feel like the the movies were so loosely inspired by the books that there's a part of me that's like, i i kind of have a feeling that this is going to be the same, that this is going to be super loose. Like there's going to be a prom and there's going to be a prom queen and there's going to be murder.
01:01:02
Speaker
Yeah. but But maybe that's it, you know, set in Shadyside. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think, Lindsay? I'm hoping it is more of a a direct adaptation.
01:01:17
Speaker
I think it would be really neat to see some characters from the original trilogy. So maybe we see Dina in the background or Dina and Sam at the beginning of their relationship.
01:01:28
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Or Nick Good makes an appearance. I'm thinking he probably will because he'll be like the sheriff. Mm-hmm. Or maybe he won't.
01:01:41
Speaker
Or his dad. Yeah. Because his, well, I guess his dad died in the beginning of 78. Yeah, so he might be like, maybe he'll be like in training or something. Right, yeah.
01:01:55
Speaker
i I want to see some nod to toward the original trilogy. Mm-hmm. I'm at the cast list, and some of the character names are on here, and they are not the character names from the book, so...
01:02:09
Speaker
so I only recognize one and that's actually, I might be wrong. It's Principal Wayland, but I don't think his name, but i don't remember what his name was in the book. I was kind trying to go in blind, but yeah. i was i i wasn't I was just kind of looking for character names. and um Yeah, I thought I saw that as well, so I'm curious.
01:02:32
Speaker
and i mean, they might have just changed names. Yeah, if you notice in the trailer, they there's a lot of like prom night going on and in the book we're barely i think we're hitting one page of prom night at the very end yeah like it's mostly leading up to the prom right i mean it it could still technically be like a direct adaptation with just different character names yeah really could be yeah yeah i think that they're gonna try to connect it more to the trilogy
01:03:05
Speaker
That's really what I want. I just want a connection. Yeah, I think they're going try to connect it. I think I have a prediction that they're going connect it to whoever took the book. Oh, wait, no, it won't be because it'll be in between.
01:03:16
Speaker
It won't be at the end. But it might be somebody connected to the good family somehow. Yeah. Or like yeah starting to try to piece it together. but because you want to also have the same deal the goods have.
01:03:27
Speaker
o Who knows? You know what I wish would have happened? I wish we had like In 1994, when we had all, like, the killers coming together and like, going after them, we had a killer that we didn't really know.
01:03:46
Speaker
and then that killer, like, k was going to be the pro the one in Prom Queen. And we got, like, but and then we could, like, connect that killer to 1994. Mm-hmm.
01:03:56
Speaker
Yeah. I honestly, I want, like, the origin stories of all of them. Kind of like how we got the Camp Nightwing one. Mm-hmm. And like get origin movies of all those killers.
01:04:08
Speaker
but i think That would have been really cool. But yeah. So anything else? Any other thoughts? No, I'm just excited to watch this. know. I'm so excited. With you guys. I know.
