A lot of praise has been given to Netflix’s trilogy of movies based on R.L. Stine’s popular Fear Street book series. While the homages to slasher movies of the past, the plot, and the scary elements were all considered to be very good, it succeeds in one area where many horror movies don’t.
It has plenty of likable and interesting to watch characters. Even though plenty of them are flawed and have their issues, these are people who the audience has enjoyed seeing in this element. The trilogy’s slew of interesting, complex characters helped make this entire experience special.
10 Simon
It’s always a good thing for a horror movie to have at least one character who is there to play the role of comedic relief. Simon (Fred Hechinger) was just that for Fear Street Part One: 1994. He was the drug-dealing friend of the protagonist and was right by their side when battling to survive at the end of the story.
Simon didn’t get quite as much character development or screen time as some others but he was a welcome addition to the adventure. He had a handful of funny lines, especially after everyone changes at the school, and his violent death by axe wound to the head was a heartbreaker.
9 Martin
If you only watched the first installment of the movies, Martin (Darrell Britt-Gibson) would seem like an odd choice to rank among the best characters. He works at the Shadyside Mall and exchanges information with Josh at the police station but he doesn’t do much more than that.
Surprisingly, he plays a big role at the end of Fear Street Part Three: 1666. Back in 1994, Martin is recruited to help against the killers and despite the wildness going on, fits right in. He shows a high level of bravery, delivers a few good quotes, and is a valuable member of the team.
8 Nick Goode
Every horror flick needs a proper villain and it comes as a shock when it gets revealed that Nick Goode (Ashley Zukerman) is the antagonist of this series. At first, he is just the sheriff who ignores the warnings of the teens but in Fear Street Part Two: 1978, he’s actually one of the heroes.
Nick bonds with Ziggy when nobody else does and ultimately saves her life, making him someone fans could like. However, the 1666 tale showed that his family had been behind the killings for centuries due to a deal with the devil. He may not have had a ton of screen time as the villain but he was a formidable foe and someone who the viewers both rooted for and hated.
7 Samantha Fraser
Samantha Fraser (Olivia Scott Welch) is one of the more intriguing characters because she goes through so much. From her breakup and reconciliation with Deena to seeing Sarah Fier and dying before coming back to life, that’s a lot and it’s all just in the first movie.
To top it off, she becomes possessed and spends most of the next two movies like that. During that time, she doesn’t get much time to do anything but Sam proved to be a good character in that first movie. She was brave enough to sacrifice herself for her friends and seeing her stand up to her mother to showcase her love for Deena was sweet.
6 Kate
It could be argued that the scene-stealing supporting character of the first movie was Kate (Julia Rehwald). While the emotional core of the story was Deena, Kate was her best friend who had her back in some of the most difficult situations possible and never wavered.
She stepped up when they thought it was just Peter and his friends but also when it turned out to be real killers after them. Kate also formed an unexpected bond with Josh that was a delight to see unfold. She showcased her wits on several occasions and her death was a true blow to the story.
5 Sarah Fier
The entire story is driven by Sarah Fier (Elizabeth Scopel). For the first two films, it’s believed that Sarah was a witch who put a curse on the town and was seemingly the villain of it all but the events back in 1666 revealed that wasn’t entirely the case. Sarah was actually a hero.
She was wrongfully accused of being a witch and figured out the truth about Solomon Goode’s deal with the devil. Despite everything being against her, Sarah fought against Solomon and lost her hand in the process. When it came time to face judgment, Sarah saved her friend Hannah and took the blame for everything, even though she was innocent.
4 Cindy Berman
During the early stages of the 1978 portion of the tale, not many characters feel all that likable. Cindy Berman (Emily Rudd) is one of them, as she’s the goody-two-shoes girl who comes across as thinking she’s somewhat better than her friends and she also spends her time scolding her sister instead of helping her.
Thankfully, Cindy grows into a better person over the course of the story. Not only does she get closer to her sister but she also shows tons of courage and toughness as she is the one to put down Tommy, though it’s only temporary. In the end, Cindy also attempts to sacrifice herself for Ziggy, cementing their bond.
3 Deena
While Sarah Fier and Solomon Goode set the story in motion, it’s through Deena’s (Kiana Madeira) eyes that everything unfolds. She’s the one who gathers everyone and fights back against the killers in 1994. She also contacts C. Berman for more information on saving Sam and stopping these events.
Deena clearly loves Sam and is also protective of her friends, while being willing to put her own life on the line to save them. Deena might not always make the right move but she’s someone the audience can root for and relate to, while also being the ultimate hero at the end of the story.
2 Ziggy Berman
When C. Berman (Gillian Jacobs) explains the story of what went down in 1978, it seems as if she’s an older Cindy Berman and her sister was the one who died. However, it turns out that she was actually Ziggy Berman (Sadie Sink) and Cindy was her sister who died trying to save her.
Throughout the 1978 story, Ziggy is among the heroes like her sister and she is the one who ends up surviving the ordeal. It ruined her life as an adult but when it came time to fight back against Nick Goode, she didn’t hesitate. She also even went back to see Mary Lane to try and give her closure.
1 Josh
Almost everyone in 1994 is quick to toss aside any idea that things like a curse or witchcraft are real. Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr.) changed that because he had done all of the research on it and was not only a believer but someone who understood quickly what needed to be done.
Josh was certainly one of the heroes of the story but it was more than that. He was the smart one who came up with many of the plans, had an adorable crush on Kate, and at the end of everything, refused to back down and let his sister become a victim of the curse. Josh was the MVP of the three films.
