\u201cAs a big fan of anything horror and also an avid childhood reader of all the R.L. Stine books, this is such a dream collaboration!\u201d says Alice. \u201cIt\u2019s been really cool to be a part of Netflix\u2019s first horror trilogy and I\u2019ve loved encapsulating all the many details of the second volume of the trilogy, Fear Street Part 2: 1978 throughout my poster.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cR.L. Stine gave me my first taste of horror when I was younger and I am a huge fan of old movie posters, so working on this project has been an absolute dream come true.\u201d says Pippa. \u201cI grew up in the 90s, and remember the aesthetic very well, so it was super exciting to revisit that era with the Fear Street artwork. It\u2019s been a real treat to be involved in a project that pays homage to such an iconic time period. I remember going to video stores when I was younger, and I cannot wait to see the pop-up recreate that experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cCollaborating with Netflix on such an exciting project has been a dream come true!\u201d says Cori. \u201cThe Fear Street trilogy has everything I love; it’s retro, witchy, and has all the gory vibes of the classic slasher movies I was obsessed with growing up. It was such a treat to explore the more grim themes of the 1600s in my artwork, but also to draw inspiration from the bright vintage VHS covers of the 1990s.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
