What does the Fear Street: Prom Queen trailer reveal about the film? Details revealed

The Fear Street franchise is back with another addition to the slasher series and this time, things are getting gruesome in a high school full of popular girls who are aiming for the top spot. Joining the Fear Street franchise that's based on a book franchise of the same name by R. L. Stine, Fear Street: Prom Queen is based on the novel The Prom Queen by Stine. It's the fourth installment in the film series and is being released four years after the last three films which were a part of a trilogy.

Fear Street: Prom Queen is set against the backdrop of 1988's Shadyside High School where a group of girls are competing against each other to become the Prom Queen. Among them, one girl emerges as the top contender and things soon take a bloody turn as a masked killer joins the prom party.

The trailer starts off with a videocam film of prom preparations. Glitzy and glamorous dresses and sparks surround the air as the girls buckle up for one of the shiniest days of the year. Soon enough, one girl is being chased by a masked killer who chases her through hallways. We later see that he has the school yearbook with him which has photos of all the prom queens that have preceded the years.

India Fowler's character, Lori Granger, quickly discovers that several attendees have been absent from the event. She asks where all the prom queens are as bloody violence fills the screen.

Talking about the film, director Matt Palmer told Tudum,

“We're back in Shadyside and the year is 1988. With Senior Prom just two days away the race for prom queen is already heating up, but when somebody starts slaughtering the prom queen candidates, all hell is set to break loose. Think classic 80s slasher and all the fun that entails, but with compelling characters, needle drops, dancing and a whole lot more!”

Fear Street: Prom Queen features an ensemble cast that includes India Fowler as Lori Granger, Suzanna Son as Megan Rogers, Fina Strazza as Tiffany Falconer, Ariana Greenblatt as Christy Renault, and Ella Rubin as Melissa McKendrick. They are joined by Chris Klein, David Iacono, Lili Taylor, Katherine Waterston, Brennan Clost.

The film's official synopsis reads,

“Prom season at Shadyside High is underway, and the school’s wolfpack of It Girls is busy with its usual sweet and vicious campaigns for the crown. But when a gutsy outsider puts herself in the running, and the other girls start mysteriously disappearing, the class of ’88 is suddenly in for one hell of a prom night.”
