R.L. Stine’s Fear Street franchise is finally back with a new movie on Netflix, and it lives up to the first word in its name.
Fear Street: Prom Queen throws it back to the ’80s slasher movies that were more fun than scary with their kills. So it is a good thing that it takes place in 1988.
Not just any time of that year, but prom night in Shadyville, a town that is way too familiar with death. There are six girls gunning for Prom Queen. But one by one, they go missing. Well, not missing, they are getting murdered.
There is the outcast Lori Granger (India Fowler). She is a long shot, but is not stopping her from running, and her best friend, Megan (Suzanna Son), is going to support her. Just like she does when their classmates make fun of Lori because her mom was accused of killing her dad when he rejected her and her pregnancy, but she claims she is innocent. Does killing run in Lori’s blood?
Tiffany Falconer (Fina Strazza) is the school bitch. Everyone wants to kill her because again, she is the school bitch. But is she also the school murderer?
Then there is Tiffany’s lap dog, Melissa (Ella Rubi). Is she sick of living in her BFF’s shadow and thinks that winning will change everything?
Debbie (Rebecca Ablack) is their friend, but is also invisible. Is this her way of finally getting seen?
Linda (Ilan O’Driscoll) seems to be nice and sweet, but is she the opposite?
Finally, there is Christy (Ariana Greenblatt), the school bad girl. Murderous bad?
One of those Prom Queen wannabes won’t make it to the prom because she will be murdered by a cleaver-swinging person wearing a red leather full-body cape and a black scary mask.
After her dead body lies in the street, it is time for the prom and the killings to start. One by one, the nominees and their dates have their final dance until someone is finally named Prom Queen. And then it is time for the mass murdering to begin, giving Carrie’s prom a run for its money.
The best kill comes from a victim who has both their hands chopped off and tries to escape the killer by opening the door with their bloody stubs. That is something that is not possible, so don’t feel bad laughing. I didn’t.
The kills are creative and original, and like I said, very ’80s.
What is also very ’80s soundtrack, you will hear songs from Duran Duran, Roxette, and Melle Mel, to name a few.
You don’t want to turn down a date with Fear Street: Prom Queen! I have to admit, you will not be able to Netflix & Chill with it because it is not a chill movie. It is a Horror movie, after all. But you will have a fun night watching it. And these days, that is all we can ask for.
You can watch Fear Street: 1994, Fear Street: 1978, and Fear Street: 1666. Every one of the Fear Street movies is enjoyable to watch. But I have to admit that Prom Queen is my favorite one so far. You say, it takes the crown!
PBS could not afford to produce new episodes of Sesame Street, so HBO Max (Is that what it is called these days?) saved it.
Then David Zaslav, who is known as C is for Cheap, lived up to his name and cancelled the educational series.
Well, today Big Bird and his friends got some G is for Great news! Netflix picked up the show for its 56th season.
Sesame Street’s reimagined 56th season will include the following new segments and format changes:
New ways to play along. Cookie Monster opens his very own Cookie Cart on Sesame Street. Will there be cookie chaos or a sweet treat with every adventure? Abby’s Fairy Garden is home to surprising and delightful magical creatures. What could possibly go wrong when Abby helps care for them?
To-camera moments. The characters speak directly to the viewers and invite them into the action—capturing emotions and interactions.
Animation overlays that highlight music, action, humor, and important story moments while adding visual excitement. Visual effects like wand sparkles, bubbles, and confetti will add a touch of anything-can-happen magic to the storytelling.
One 11-minute story. The longer format provides the opportunity to tell stories with even more character-driven humor and heart.
A new animated segment, Tales from 123 that takes viewers INSIDE the most famous apartment building in the world where they can discover the wacky and whimsical building that Elmo, Cookie Monster, and friends call home.
The return of fan-favorite episodes of Elmo’s World and Cookie Monster’s Foodie Truck.
New episodes will be released later this year in three separate batches.
I have two words for Netflix, and they are thank and you! Thank you for letting another generation enjoy Oscar the Grouch!
Between 1983 and 1995, several stars, including Britney Spears, Beyoncé, Kevin James, and Drew Carey, were contestants on Star Search before they became stars. And now Netflix is looking for the next Brad Garrett or Usher.
Each week on Star Search, emerging performers in music, dance, comedy, and kids’ acts will take the stage to compete for a shot at the spotlight. The competition unfolds over time, with eliminations raising the stakes and plenty of surprises along the way. It’s part talent showcase, part high-stakes drama — and it’s all live on Netflix.
If you think you have what it takes to be the next Norm MacDonald or Billy Porter, then you can apply here.
As of now, the streamer has not named who will be the new Ed McMahon or Arsenio Hall, so I have two suggestions. They should ask Martin Lawrence, who competed on the show, or Marc Summers, who did the warm-up.
Netflix released the first trailer for Ginny & Georgia’s third season, and it looks like we are going to have to binge it all in one day because wow.

It’s always been Ginny and Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite like this. Now, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove – Is the two of them against the world something Ginny really wants to sign up for?
