We were joined on the Popternative show by India Fowler (The Agency) and Fina Strazza (Paper Girls) who star in the latest Fear Street film on Netflix, Fear Street: Prom Queen. The film premiered on the platform on May 23 and takes takes viewers back to 1988 at Shadyside.
In this new Fear Street installment, 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.
The cast also includes Suzanna Son (Red Rocket), Chris Klein (Sweet Magnolias), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Ella Rubin (The Idea of You), Ariana Greenblatt (Barbie), Lili Taylor (The Conjuring), Katherine Waterson (Inherent Vice), Darrin Baker (Painkiller), Rebecca Ablack (Ginny & Georgia), Ilan O’Driscoll (Believer), Damian Romeo (Ginny & Georgia), Dakota Taylor (Sullivan’s Crossing), Eden Summer Gilmore (Family Law), Brennan Clost (Tiny Pretty Things), Cecilia Lee (My Dreams of You), and Ryan Rosery (Mayor of Kingstown).
Aside from the many gory kills, Fear Street: Prom Queen is also filled with classic 80s music and dancing – including a dance off between Lori (India Fowler) and Tiffany (Fina Strazza) to the 1982 song, “Gloria” by Laura Branigan.
“There was a lot of movement in this movie. On one of our dance days, India and I were really really excited about it leading up to it. It was, I believe it was a thirteen hour shoot for our dance off scene and by one in the morning, we were like on each other’s laps on the ground just crying and laughing and not aware of how much time had passed,” Fina says.
“For the prom [scenes], we were in that hall for maybe twelve days in total. Because each day was a different scene, for me, it felt like I went to prom for twelve days,” India adds.
