To the surprise of many, Netflix’s Fear Street trilogy took an ambitious approach to the adaptation of the R.L. Stine book series, opting to instead craft an entirely original three-film narrative that honored the spirit of the source material instead of lifting specific narrative elements from any particular entry. While it might not have featured overt references to the original book series, eagle-eyed Fear Street fans surely picked up on some of the more obscure references, with the films also featuring a number of references and nods to iconic and beloved horror properties, with star Sadie Sink pointing out some of the Easter eggs you might have missed in the above video. All three Fear Street films are currently streaming on Netflix.
