I think it’s led to the real resurgence in horror.Īlso, I’m on Twitter and everyone on Twitter, they’re all in their twenties and thirties, and they’ve been begging me to bring Fear Street back. I think now, well, it’s not a great time. I think it’s just a way that people with anxiety about the real world. I always think that in scary times horror becomes popular. And now I see horror is popular again in many ways. I did about 80 of them and we had a spin-off series and the sagas. Well, I thought I had killed off enough teenagers. Why did you stop the series? And what made you decide to bring Fear Street back? There were the two families, the Fears and the Goodes, and this horrible wicked feud they had over generation after generation. It went back in history, all the way back to the colonial days and how Fear Street became Fear Street, this cursed place. We did the first trilogy of the Fear Street saga - those were three of the best books, I think. There are a lot of stories like that.Īnd then there was this whole historical aspect of Fear Street. So they realize something really bizarre is going on. And they call where their parents work and they’ve never heard of them their. At first they think it’s great, but after a night or two they get really worried. One of the very early ones I remember was called Missing, these two teenagers come home from school and their parents never come home. But she is about to learn that Fear Street is where your darkest nightmares live.But I would say about half the Fear Streets were supernatural. But sometimes romance gets in the way of common sense.īesides, all those scary Fear family stories are ancient history-aren’t they? She should know there are risks when you get involved with a Fear. She should know better than to venture off with Brendan Fear to an all-night party at his family summer home on Fear Island. Shadyside High senior Rachel Martin has lived in Shadyside her whole life. The woods-and the winding street that bears their name-are places to be avoided by all.

Or maybe it’s because everyone in town has heard the unexplained, inhuman howls and shrieks that echo off the tall trees late at night.Įveryone in the pleasant, suburban town of Shadyside knows about the Fear family, early settlers of the town, who practiced the black arts and were cursed with a history of untold evil. Or maybe they know the odd fact that no birds ever venture into these woods or perch on the trees.

Maybe they know the story of the two girls who were found in the woods- with all their bones missing. But few Shadyside residents would ever hike or picnic there.

The woods are beautiful, fragrant, and quiet. Tall, leafy maple and sycamore trees, centuries old, make the woods shadowy and cool, even on the sunniest days.

The Fear Street woods stretch for hundreds of acres at the eastern end of the town of Shadyside.
