Goosebumps aside, author R.L. Stine’s most famous series is Fear Street. Aimed at teenagers, each book offers a new story set in the fictional town of Shadyside, Ohio, with more than 80m copies shifted since the publication of the first novel, The New Girl, in 1989.

But where movie... and like buses, now three come along at once. is set – duh – in 1994, as a gang of teens led by Deena (Kiana Madeira) and her ex Sam (Olivia Scott Welch) band together to take on a masked killer (among other menaces). offers more stalk ‘n’ slash in the kind of summer camp where Jason Voorhees likes to ki-ki-kill, with Sadie Sink making a likeable Final Girl as Ziggy. And travels back in time three-and-a-half centuries to see what became of teenager Sarah Fier (Madeira again) – the key to why Shadyside has notched up a higher body count than Midsomer.
