My last slot went to Stine's holiday-themed books, which seemed like they'd fit well serving a single story while offering up their own individual strengths and iconography. So the beach and the snow prevailed, as did two of Stine's most popular series - the super-chiller Cheerleaders stories and The Babysitter books that aren't part of the Fear Street franchise. Setting and atmosphere are an important part of horror movies and Stine has always had a knack for capturing the odd feeling of being in a new place, a feeling that kept readers on their toes and would likely do the same for viewers, I imagine. The first two kinds of Fear Street books that came to mind were vacation-themed stories set on either the beach or some kind of skiing trip. That said, given my own personal Stine fandom, I think it would be smarter to combine certain titles with similar settings and themes, which is how I approached this list of five directions that Netflix should take the Fear Street franchise next. The buzz is definitely strong out there among my fellow genre fans, but Netflix may want to mine individual titles for solo films going forward.

Don't get me wrong, I admire the ambition behind the Fear Street trilogy and think that overall, these three movies turned out to be a successful experiment in terms of both genre content and release strategy. Well, for starters, I think they need to plan some standalone movies and traditional franchises, rather than a series of interconnected films from different eras, featuring different casts and styles. Which begs the question, what do Netflix and Chernin Entertainment do with R.L. The horror film launches a pretty solid trilogy that continues to unfold this weekend and next, but once it concludes with Part 3 - 1666, the story of Sarah Fier has come full circle and reached its natural conclusion. If you're reading this, you've probably watched Fear Street Part 1 - 1994 by now on Netflix.
