00:00La nuova Lì Janiic-directed horror trilogia Fear Street
00:03è intenzionale a lovettere a le horror movies che aveva come before it.
00:06Con tutti i tre filmi nuove streaming su Netflix,
00:09let's take a closer look at the horror movie referenze hidden in Fear Street.
00:12Ci sono sicuramente più sposti.
00:19Fear Street's got a lot of love for Wes Craven's seminal 1997 slasher Scream.
00:23Just like that movie, which shockingly kills off a huge star, Drew Barrymore,
00:27right off the top, Fear Street sees Fate catch up to Stranger Things star Maya Hawke
00:31a lot sooner into the action than you might expect.
00:34Many moments in this opening sequence play out as beat-for-beat recreations
00:38of Scream's iconic intro and, of course,
00:41the skeleton-masked robbed killer is its own homage to screen villain Ghostface.
00:47The Shining gets its moment to...
00:49shine in this scene from Fear Street Part 1 1994.
00:53This shot recreates the most memorable moment from The Shining
00:56when Jack Torrance is breaking into the bathroom
00:58where his terrified wife, Wendy, is trapped.
01:04After the 90s teens discover that Sarah Fears' disturbed gravesite
01:07might be the reason for ghostly killers stalking them,
01:10Simon mentions Poltergeist.
01:11In Poltergeist!
01:13He makes the connection between disturbing human remains in Shadyside
01:17and the Freeling family's home
01:19never a good idea in horror movies
01:21unless you want your pets or kids
01:23to come back as soulless, bloodthirsty husks.
01:29George Romero's seminal zombie movies
01:31get name-dropped in Fear Street Part 1 1994
01:34by the world's worst sheriff, Nick Good.
01:36Would you say he was more, uh, Dawn of the Dead or Night of the Living?
01:41Uh, wait.
01:42Dead.
01:44We get a little nod to one of the most beloved horror movies of all time,
01:48Halloween at the candlelit vigil
01:50where we see a sign advertising good family realty.
01:53Protagonist Laurie Strode's father has a realty business of his own.
01:57It's the reason why Laurie visits the Myers house
01:59at the beginning of the film
02:00and maybe even the reason why Michael targets her in the first place.
02:04It's not the only homage to Halloween in Fear Street Part 1 1994.
02:09Before Kate and Simon are attacked by the skull-faced killer
02:12while they're babysitting,
02:14Kate and Dina have a brief conversation over the phone.
02:16In John Carpenter's 1978 classic,
02:19Laurie Strode and her friend Annie also share a phone call
02:22while babysitting just before Michael Myers' killing spree
02:24in Haddonfield kicks off.
02:291994 isn't the only Fear Street movie
02:32to give love to the horror classic Halloween.
02:34The second film in the Fear Street trilogy is set in 1978,
02:37which is a very special year for horror fans.
02:40After all, it was the year that John Carpenter released Halloween.
02:43Now, while Halloween might not have been the first slasher,
02:46it is the one that cemented many of the genre's most enduring tropes.
02:50Perhaps the most well-known of those is the idea of a final girl,
02:53usually the main character in a slasher movie,
02:56whose purity tends to be enough to leave her alive long after her drug-taking,
02:59sex-having friends are dead meat.
03:02Squeaky clean Cindy Berman sure fits the bill,
03:05but tropes are made to be subverted,
03:07and it's actually Cindy's confrontational sister Ziggy who makes it through to the end.
03:13Fear Street 1978 has another Halloween franchise connection
03:17in the form of Nightwing counsellor Gary, played by Drew Sheed.
03:21Drew played Oscar in 2018's Halloween sequel,
03:24where he has a very meta, one-sided conversation with Michael Myers before he bites it.
03:31Fear Street's 1978 summer camp setting and the fact that campers and counsellors
03:36become axe fodder before long should immediately call to mind 1980's Friday the 13th.
03:41Even though it's the nigh-unkillable Jason Voorhees who's the face of the franchise,
03:45you might remember that he's actually not the villain of the original movie.
03:48Instead it's Jason's mother, Pamela Voorhees.
03:52That dynamic recurs in Fear Street 1978, with Camp Nightwing's Nurse Lane,
03:57whose daughter Ruby fell victim to the curse of Sarah Fear.
04:00She tries to kill Tommy after his name appears on the wall in the tunnels beneath the camp,
04:05signalling that he'll be the next avatar of Sarah's wrath.
04:08Another homage to Friday the 13th comes in the form of some sound design.
04:12You can hear some spooky voices whispering as Tommy gets ready to kill
04:18as well as when other Shadysiders embark on possessed rampages across the three movies.
04:23And that's a clear nod to the famous
04:25that signals that death is near for the victims of whichever Voorhees is coming for their blood.
04:34While Jason Voorhees is best known for the hockey mask that covers his very gross face,
04:39his first outing as the big bad in Friday the 13th Part 2 actually has him sporting a more DIY
04:45face covering solution. A good old fashioned sack. It's one that Tommy Slater ends up with by the end
04:50of Fear Street Part 2 1978 because honestly nothing screams hot boy summer like burlap.
04:56Friday the 13th homages go so deep that Camp Nightwing was filmed on location
05:01at the same shooting site as Camp Crystal Lake in Friday the 13th 6 Jason Lives.
05:08Fear Street's attention to detail and how it celebrates horror runs deep,
05:12all the way down to editing choices. Case in point, there's a very brief silent
05:17flash of Sarah Fear's face. This nearly subliminal appearance was used to great effect throughout
05:22The Exorcist where a demonic floating face in the darkness pretended the spiritual showdown
05:26coming in the film's finale. This actually happens in Fear Street Part 1 1994 as well.
05:31There's another nod to The Exorcist in the form of a piece of graffiti on Ziggy's cabin wall which
05:36offers some mean-spirited information as to what Ziggy may suck and where she may be doing that.
05:41It's the same thing that the demon possessing Regan McNeil in The Exorcist says to Father
05:46Caress during the climactic exorcism. 1983's Sleepaway Camp is another stellar and deeply
05:55weird entry into the sub-genre and helped establish some character archetypes that are
05:59present in Fear Street Part 2 1978. Sleepaway Camp sees Angela, an introverted girl with a dark past,
06:06going after her bullies one by one. Chief among them is an especially cruel teen named Judy. See,
06:13it's there on her shirt. Fear Street's 1978's Sheila seems to have a similar single-minded focus on
06:18making Ziggy's life hell. She should be wearing a t-shirt with her name on it. There's also quiet
06:23nerd Jeremy whose innocence doesn't save him from Tommy's axe. His bespectacled appearance and low
06:29position in the camp pecking order may call to mind Sleepaway Camp's Mozart. At least Jeremy doesn't
06:35go after anyone with a knife for pranking him with shaving cream. Though not strictly speaking a horror movie
06:42reference, we'd be remiss if we didn't mention that the work of horror maestro Stephen King comes up
06:46a few times, with Nick Goode being a big fan of his novels. Ziggy also takes a page out of
06:51Carrie's
06:52book, intending to douse Sheila with red paint but settling for giant cockroaches instead. Oh, and that
06:57new Pretty Good King novel coming out that Nick mentions? That'd be 1978's The Stand, widely regarded as
07:04as one of King's crowning literary achievements.
07:12While Lee Janiak told the New York Times that her filming style for 1666 was inspired by Terence
07:17Malick's The New World, fans have also been quick to draw visual comparisons to Robert Eggers'
07:212015 horror movie The Witch. The Devil's Book that appears through all three movies has the
07:28traditional look of a spooky book used for evil in horror movies, including one of the most famous
07:33bad books of all time, The Evil Dead, The Necronomicon. Sarah Fears' recitation of the incantation in the
07:40book before she is found by the widow especially evokes the Evil Dead scene where the archaeologist's
07:45tape recording of him reading from the Necronomicon sets off all the traumatising events that happen
07:50in the 1981 Sam Raimi horror classic.
07:57We'll carry him.
07:59The carry reference is right in the Fear Street 1994 part 2 dialogue. Both a reference to Ziggy and
08:04Good's cockroach dumping in 1978 and a reference to the Stephen King classic, Ziggy is of course
08:10referring to dumping a bucket of blood on Good, except instead of mortifying him in front of all his
08:15classmates, they use Dina's blood to send all the Shadyside killers after him. Who's laughing now?
08:23Though not technically a horror movie, we couldn't let a list of Fear Street's horror
08:27references go without giving a shout out to the man we have to thank for even having this trilogy,
08:31R.L. Stine. His books appear in the Shadyside Moors B. Daltons under the pen name Robert Lawrence,
08:37aka what the R.L in R.L. Stine stands for. One of the books featured, the wrong number, is
08:43a real-life
08:44Fear Street book. It's fitting then that Robert Lawrence's books are also literally what saved
08:49Dina's life when she gets stabbed by Good at the end of the third movie, and one even stops a
08:54knife
08:54turned on poor doomed Heather buying her a precious few seconds for escape in the opening scenes of
08:59Fear Street Part 1 1994. What were your favourite Fear Street horror movie references? Let us know
