Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Fear Street Part 3: 1666.
Things took a surprising turn in Fear Street Part 3: 1666, with Sheriff Nick Goode revealed as the Big Bad, but there were actually hints to the twist reveal throughout. Inspired by R.L. Stine’s popular novels, director Leigh Janiak brought Fear Street to life in a unique fashion. Despite being cinematic in nature, each installment of the Fear Street trilogy was released weekly. As such, it effectively blended elements of movies and television. Furthermore, despite each chapter exploring a distinct era and genre of horror, one killer story served as a throughline across each movie. That move was celebrated by the actors involved and welcomed by fans, who didn’t have to wait long for more gory action and overall answers.
Kicking off with Fear Street Part 1: 1994, Deena (Kiana Madeira), Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.), Kate (Julia Rehwald), Simon (Fred Hechinger), and Sam (Olivia Scott Welch) learned that an ancient curse said to haunt their town was entirely real. That knowledge came from being hunted by killers from Shadyside’s dark past. By the ending of Fear Street Part 1: 1994, only a trio of them were left standing — and Sam herself was possessed and transformed into a would-be killer. The twist led perfectly into Fear Street Part 2: 1978, where Deena and Josh met with Ziggy Berman (Gillian Jacobs) and learned about the tragic events of Camp Nightwing. Simultaneously, deeper layers of the Shadyside Curse were peeled back, culminating in Deena being transplanted into Sarah Fier’s body back in 1666.
Picking up where things left off, Fear Street Part 3: 1666 treated Deena (and viewers) to the truth of Sarah Fier’s tragic life. Rather than being a witch and source of Fear Street’s carnage, she was merely the victim of lies and the close-minded, aggressively superstitious town. Equally, Sarah discovered that the real guilty party had been Solomon Goode (Ashley Zukerman) — who struck a deal with The Devil for prosperity following the death of his wife and child. After Sarah Fier (Elizabeth Scopel) sacrificed herself to protect Hannah Miller (also Welch), the responsibility of maintaining the curse was passed down through the generations of the Goode family. As a result, it was revealed the real witch behind the events of Fear Street Part 1: 1994 and Fear Street Part 2: 1978 had been Sheriff Nick Goode (also Zukerman) all along. Here’s a breakdown of all the hints to that twist.
Sunnyvale’s Football Team and Unnatural Good Luck
Throughout the Fear Street trilogy, much attention was given to the Shadyside Curse and the overall impact it had on holding its residents down. That, however, subtly obscured the fact that the opposite was occurring in the neighboring town of Sunnyvale. The opening of Fear Street, featuring Maya Hawke, quietly established that Sunnyvale had been free of accidents and crime for 30 years. Equally, it was subtly revealed that their local football team hadn’t lost or tied a single game in nearly a decade. As such, it was hinted early that Sunnyvale’s good fortune was unnatural and likely connected to Shadyside’s lack of it.
Furthermore, Sunnyvale’s football team was named The Devils. The name was an overt nod to the true source of Sunnyvale’s luxury (via Nick Goode and his ancestors). Conversely, Shadyside’s football team was named The Witches. In the early going, it seemed as though that was chosen simply due to the local legend of Sarah Fier. The twist reveals of Fear Street Part 3: 1666 recontextualized that notion, however, and hinted at the truth — that Sarah Fier had actually been a benevolent force attempting to help combat the devils of Sunnyvale.
Martin Referred To Him As Sheriff Evil
After learning the truth, Deena relayed to Josh that Sheriff Goode was actually evil. In truth, though, Martin P. Franklin (Darrell Britt-Gibson) actually tagged him as such in Fear Street Part 1: 1994. While protesting his innocence, Martin was informed by the official that people usually showed him respect and called him Sheriff Goode. To that, Martin savagely replied, “Sheriff Goode? More like Sheriff Motherf*cking Evil!” Little did he know how right he was.
The Spraypaint Cans
Part of Martin’s protest in the soundtrack-heavy Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was that he’d been framed and the spraypaint cans used to vandalize the Shadyside Mall hadn’t belonged to him. Sheriff Goode actually agreed with that statement, stating that they were “his cans.” At the time, it seemed as though Goode meant that by way of police confiscation. In truth, later reveals recontextualized the dialogue to indicate that he’d meant it literally and that he’d personally framed Martin. As well as hinting at Goode’s racial bias, it indicated that Martin had likely been an intended victim of the Fear Street trilogy’s original Shadyside Mall massacre. One whose fortunate survival seemingly aggrieved Sheriff Goode.
Caught Two-Handed
One of the ways Fear Street Part 1: 1994 set up the sequel was Sam being newly possessed by the witch as Deena spoke with Ziggy. Viewers were treated to a glimpse of the process, with the witch magically adding Sam’s name to a list of famous Shadyside killers. As they did so, both hands were clearly visible. As fans will be aware, however, Sarah Fier famously only had one hand, reportedly to maintain an evil “grip on the land” but actually severed by Solomon. The nursery rhyme went on to state that she needed to be reunited with her lost hand — implying she’d never reacquired it. As such, the shrouded figure sporting two was the earliest indicator that somebody other than Sarah was behind everything.
Nick’s Prank On Sheila
One of the best elements of the easter egg-laden Fear Street Part 2: 1978 was seeing new sides of established characters. That was especially true of Ziggy Berman (Sadie Sink) and Nick Goode (Ted Sutherland). Prior to becoming Sheriff, he seemed like a regular (albeit weird) teen unsure about the future laid out for him. As revealed in Fear Street Part 3: 1666, that was much more than being town Sheriff. That was actually teased, with Ziggy referring to him as “King of Sunnyvale” — a title that Nick subtly indicated carried more weight than it seemed.
The truth of Nick’s true nature, however, was most teased via his prank on Sheila. It hinted at his vengefully vindictive side and the ends justify the means mentality that would firmly take hold later in life. That aforementioned nature was further illuminated by his subsequent disregard of Sheila from his mind entirely, even when putting up a savior front. That fact was even counterpointed when even the Stephen King-loving Ziggy – who Sheila relentlessly and sadistically bullied – tried to save her from Fear Street Part 2: 1978’s Nightwing Killer.
“I Know I’ve Let A Lot Of People Die Tonight”
Another line of dialogue that was firmly recontextualized in retrospect was when Nick said to Ziggy, “I know I’ve let a lot of people die tonight.” At the time, it seemed simply part of his vow to protect Ziggy and his admittance that he’d failed as a camp counselor and future Sheriff. In truth, however, it was yet another outright confession of guilt that flew under the radar due to the shrewd double-edged writing from those behind the Fear Street trilogy.
The Man Who Sold The World
Even the many songs of Fear Street Part 2: 1978 offered many referential clues. “Carry On Wayward Son” by Kansas, for example, gave specific focus to the lyrics of “masquerading as a man with a reason; my charade is the event of the season” – which could definitely be attributed to Nick. Most notably, however, “The Man Who Sold The World” by David Bowie played as Nick revived Ziggy after she was killed by Henry “The Milkman” Rooker (Kevin Waterman). At the moment she opened her eyes again, the exact lyrics playing were “you’re face to face…with the man who sold the world.” Those same lyrics played again at the moment Nick offered the lie that Tommy Slater (McCabe Slye) had simply gone crazy. As much as the song denoted Ziggy herself being a David Bowie fan, it actively laid out that Nick was the one selling out Shadyside and its residents so that Sunnyvale could prosper.
Ziggy Berman’s Ongoing Survival
As much as Fear Street Part 1: 1994 was packed with easter eggs, the movie also provoked several questions. One of the most prominent was how Ziggy was able to continue surviving for over a decade after the events of Fear Street Part 2: 1978. As she herself stated, the witch never stops coming for those targeted, no matter what. As a result, many theories emerged as to how Ziggy avoided such an awful fate, even belatedly. Nick being the true villain was, especially in retrospect, the most obvious answer. He was established early as having a connection to Ziggy, later revealed to be a lingering crush. That fondness, of course, lent itself to him protecting her — even as he willfully doomed others during the Fear Street trilogy.
The reveal was both surprising yet obvious upon reflection. As such, it served as a testament to the writing of Janiak, Phil Graziadei, Zak Olkewicz, and Kate Trefry. The attention to detail regarding the plotting was on par with such murder mystery offerings as Knives Out. Equally, the use of music on that same front was on a level to make even James Gunn envious. The reveal also served to tie firmly into the overall themes of the Fear Street trilogy. Through shared experiences and a common enemy, female bonds were reaffirmed. Deena connected with Sarah Fier similar to how she reconnected with Sam, and how Cindy (Emily Rudd) reconnected with Ziggy and Alice (Ryan Simpkins). All in all, Fear Street Part 3: 1666 not only added to the rewatch factor of the overall saga but will likely leave fans eager for more.
