    Horror films have always been about more than the plot. Crushing grief, fear of globalism, and anxiety over female empowerment are just a small smattering of what lies beneath films like Hereditary, Dracula, and Ginger Snaps.

    After four years, Netflix returns to Shadyside with Prom Queen, a new installment in the Fear Street franchise.

Based on the beloved Y.A. book series by R.L. Stein, Prom Queen borrows from the author’s 1992 book of the same name.
