What could be the plot of Fear Street: Prom Queen?

The plot is set in a school named Shadyside High, and takes place in the year 1988. On the most glitzy and anticipated night of the seniors in the school, something unexpected happens. A non member of the school gets a prom nomination, and on the day of the prom, all the rest of the girls competing for the title gets missing one by one.

The story of the film is jointly penned by Donald McLeary, along with the helmer Matt Palmer. While speaking to Tudum, the director talks about the plot of the film as he mentions:

“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!”

Palmer also elucidates about the relevance and the socio-cultural significance of the film, especially in relation to the time period the story is set in, as he adds:

“I love that Shadyside feels so relevant to our world now; it could really be any present day blue collar town in America,”

“We dig much deeper down into high school and family life in this installment and find that, again, so many of the challenges that ’80s kids faced still seem to totally resonate today.”
