Following its teaser trailer debut back in May, the official trailer has now been revealed for Leigh Janiak's adaptation of R.L. Stine's Fear Street books, coming to Netflix over the course of three weeks this July!
Growing up as an avid Goosebumps lover, I kept my eyes peeled at countless garage sales for R.L. Stine's other popular book series, Fear Street (in addition to his Point Horror titles and Christopher Pike's novels), because those spooky tales geared towards slightly older readers seemed more foreboding and dangerous than my beloved Goosebumps books that I devoured at the local library.
I couldn't be more excited, then, that at long last we'll see Stine's Fear Street books get their time in the adaptation spotlight this summer, and you can get an idea of what to expect in the new trailer and quotes below!

[To help get you into the spooky spirit this October, the Daily Dead team thought it would be a great idea to spotlight some of our favorite witchcraft movies that just might cast a spell on you and make your Halloween season a "hexcellent" one!]
We were methodical trick-or-treaters. Every Halloween night, after hitting every house with a light on for what seemed like endless blocks of suburbia, my sister, cousin, and I would haul our plastic pumpkins into the living room of my parents' house and pour our sugar-coated contents onto the floor. It was there that the sorting—and eating—of each type of candy would begin, and it would always happen in the glow of whatever movie happened to be on TV that Halloween night. Sometimes it was a Friday the 13th film and other times it was Halloweentown. One year, it was The Witches, and let’s just say that it was a little harder to focus on organizing my Reese’s Cups on that All Hallows’ Eve.
Although considered to be a film that’s fun for the whole family, The Witches is wholesome entertainment with teeth—a big set...

Apparently, 2018 is the year we'll all become re-obsessed with our favorite '90s franchises. Between the Charmed reboot and another shot at Sister, Sister, we thought all of our nostalgic series dreams had already come true . . . but then came the news that Party of Five will return to screens sometime soon.
If you're envisioning picking up where the original story left off - which was like Seventh Heaven meets The Boxcar Children - think again. The Hollywood Reporter reported back in January that Freeform had picked up the series, and now it's officially moving forward with a pilot order for the reboot, so we'll get at least one episode of the new series. Although original creators Christopher Keyser and Amy Lippman penned the script for the drama, they're adding in a pretty fresh twist - this take on the story will follow a new group of siblings in the wake...

Forced to live together in a confined space and depending on each other for survival, the Dollanganger siblings from 1987’s Flowers in the Attic have always reminded me of the kids from The Boxcar Children book series I grew up reading, although instead of solving mysteries on fun adventures, they were busy dealing with a scissors-wielding grandma, a murderous mother, and some intense incestual feelings—not exactly the type of material you’d find next to Gertrude Chandler Warner’s books in the library.
Published in 1979 and featuring evil parental figures, inter-family violence, and sibling incest, V.C. Andrews’ Flowers in the Attic was a sought-after page-turner for readers drawn to its controversial elements, and its viability in the bookstores paved its way to the cinemas in the mid-’80s. A story about four siblings—two brothers and two sisters—locked away in a gothic mansion’s upstairs room (and the...

If you grew up in the '80s or '90s and had a library card, I'm guessing you remember The Boxcar Children series of books. They followed orphaned siblings Henry, Jessie, Violet, and Benny, who lived in an abandoned train car they found in the woods before ultimately moving in with their rich grandfather, who moved the boxcar into his backyard.
Variety reports that Shout! Factory and a company called Legacy Classics are teaming up for three new animated movies based on the beloved books, and their ambitious plan is to release "at least four" new movies in the next two years. There are over 100 novels in the series (though only the first nineteen were written by original creator Gertrude Chandler Warner), so the producers will have plenty of material to mine for theatrical stories.
