Fear Street: 1666 Highlights the Link Between Witch-Hunts and Persecution of Queerness By Stefania SarrubbaJul 16th, 2021, 5:37 pm The final installment in Netflix’s film saga inspired by R.L. Stine’s book series, Fear Street Part Three: 1666, takes protagonist Deena (Kiana Madeira) back to where it all began. She inhabits the body of Sarah Fier, the witch who is said to have started the curse plaguing the town of Shadyside, tying together the loose threads left behind by the first two films, set in 1994 and 1978. In a long vision that makes for the film’s strongest act, Deena relives the last days of Sarah’s life and makes valid points about the dynamics at play between powerful, straight men and rebellious, queer women.
