It's episode 300 Part 1…and stop being mad at me for wanting a different future.

Fear Street Part One: 1994 (2021) introduces us to the crime-ridden city of Shadyside, the supposed 'murder capital' of the United States. Amidst the latest killing spree, star-crossed lovers Deena and Sam become embroiled in the town's mysterious and macabre history after accidentally disturbing a witch's grave.

We talk about our hopes and fears for a coherent trilogy of 'My First Horror' films, discuss a particularly gruesome bakery-related death, query the power distribution practices of the Shadyside Mall, and run the risk being added to a watchlist while wondering what the least destructive way to kill someone (and bring them back) is.

All of which leads to one question: How would you survive?

Whatever happens, one thing's for sure: it began as a prank... and ended in murder.

Next time it's (unsurprisingly) time for Part 2 of our Fear Street triple bill: Fear Street Part Two: 1978 (2021)
