Completing the trilogy of Fier is Fear Street 1666. This trilogy was filmed way back in 2019 and released as weekly films in 2021. I’m obviously a bit late to the game on watching them, but I’m certainly not the only one.

The third installment explains the back story of Sarah Fier, the witch behind the curse that has created a string of serial killers in Shadyside for over 300 years. Well, sorta. Learning about what happened in 1666 gives lie to the reality we have been shown so far about Shadyside and Sunnyvale. And Sarah Fier. 

Very quickly we see that the world of 1666 is not what we have been led to believe. Sarah Fier is pretty much just a typical teenager (hard to say how old she is supposed to be) in a small village. There is a “witch” of sorts on the outskirts of town that the youth buy berries from. The sort of thing to enhance the senses, much like the meth of today except herbal and less tooth decay side effects. 

What seemingly starts as a scorned love interest, when Caleb tries to sleep with Hannah only to be blocked by Sarah, takes a turn for the worse. Sarah and Hannah are seen kissing, which leads to condemnation by the village. There is a little extra weird thrown in first, because suddenly everything in the part of the village that will become Shadyside turns rotten. Food is moldy and infested with bugs, the water winds up with a dead animal in the well (although it’s funny because they instantly are like “the water is poisoned” but in the Walking Dead show, they attempt to pull a bloated zombie out of a well so they can get access to the water), and some other things happen. But none as terrible as the pastor gouging out the eyes of a dozen village children, and his own as well, and killing them. 

All this leads to some of the village claiming a witch is causing this and that Sarah and Hannah are the witches.

Sarah escapes as they capture Hannah, and she discovers that Solomon Goode (progenitor of the police line of Goodes we see throughout the movies) is actually the witch! He cast a curse upon the village and Pastor Miller was the first of the serial killers to attack Shadyside youth. The idea Solomon implemented was for there to be an individual sacrificed roughly every decade or so (they don’t specify) to become a serial killer. This then fueled the boons that allowed Sunnyvale to prosper. Nevermind that it was never “one” death, because that individual always killed enough people to qualify as a serial killer. The story resolves in confrontation between Sarah and Solomon. Obviously Solomon gets the upper hand and Sarah loses her hand before getting hung. Sarah chooses to confess, even though she did nothing, in order to spare Hannah from also being hung.

And so ends the movie. Nope. At this point we get a new title card saying Fear Street 1994 Part Two.

Yeah. How cool is that? It now picks back up with the modern day storyline. Where Deena (remember her?) is now fully informed after having the vision that showed her all of the first hour of the movie. A plan is formed to take down Nick Goode, because he is the current end of the bloodline that started the curse. I won’t go into all the details of 1994 Part Two, suffice to say that it was a fun ride to a resolution for Sarah Fier and Nick Goode. Nicely wrapping up over 325 years of witchery and killery in the artificially divided city area composing Sunnyvale and Shadyside.

Did they stick the landing on this? Lets just say that the judges didn’t all raise placards with 10 on them (that damn Russian judge always knocks a few points down.) But this was absolutely a satisfying ending to the story of Sarah Fier.
