By now, you’ve likely heard. This summer, Netflix is releasing three “Fear Street” films based on R.L. Stine’s best-selling horror series. One of the more interesting elements of the trilogy of films coming up is that they’re all connected and all directed by one filmmaker, Leigh Janiak. Janiak broke out with the 2014 horror indie “Honeymoon” starring “Game Of Thrones” star Rose Leslie that was met with much acclaim.

“We filmed all three Fear Street movies over one crazy, bloody summer,” Janiak said in a statement. “It’s a dream that audiences now get to experience the story in the same way – back to back to back, with only a week of waiting in between. I can’t wait to welcome everyone into the world of Fear Street in 1994, 1978, and 1666!”
