The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Fear Street: Prom Queen is a 2025 American slasher film directed by Matt Palmer from a screenplay he co-wrote with Donald McLeary, loosely based on the novel The Prom Queen (1992) from the Fear Street book series. Produced by Chernin Entertainment, it is the fourth installment in the Fear Street film series. The film stars India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, David Iacono, Ella Rubin, Chris Klein, Ariana Greenblatt, Lili Taylor, and Katherine Waterston. Set in 1988, the plot focuses on a masked killer who targets the prom queen candidates of Shadyside High School on the night of their senior dance. Following the release of the original trilogy, discussions began about future films set within the same continuity. In October 2023, R. L. Stine announced further films to be in development, with the fourth installment being a standalone story and Chloe Okuno expected to direct. By March 2024, casting had been announced for principal characters, with McLeary and Palmer hired to adapt The Prom Queen and Palmer as director. Filming took place in Toronto and Hamilton from March to May 2024. Fear Street: Prom Queen was released on Netflix on May 23, 2025, and was panned by critics, who named it inferior to the original three films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
