Fear Street: Prom Queen (2025) Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis:
‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’ is directed by Matt Palmer from a script he co-wrote with Donald McLeary based on R. L. Stine’s novel, The Prom Queen (1992).
What happens in ‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’?
Set in Shadyside in 1988, the film mainly follows Lori Granger (India Fowler) from a few days before the big prom night in her high school. She isn’t too keen on this big night since it reminds her of a tragic incident from her past. Her father died on his prom night, and people accused her mother, Rose of killing him. Although proven innocent, Rose still lives with the emotional scars of that incident, and so does Lori. Unlike Lori, other girls look forward to the night, especially Tiffany Falconer (Fina Strazza), a popular girl from their school.
Tiffany gets all the support she needs from her close friends, Melissa Mckendrick (Ella Rubin) and Debbie Winters (Rebecca Ablack), who are almost always by her side. Unlike them, Lori and her friend Megan Rogers (Suzanna Son) mostly stay in the shadows, getting ignored or hurt. Tiffany dates Tyler Torres (David Iacono), whom Lori has a crush on. Tyler also has some feelings for Lori, which he doesn’t express because of Tiffany. Still, he encourages Lori to be a part of the prom queen race. She enrolls despite her mother’s lack of interest in it.
Lori and Tiffany’s Prom Queen battle
Tiffany’s parents, Nancy (Katherine Waterston) and Dan (Chris Klein), wholeheartedly support her. They are obsessed with Tiffany being the prom queen. So, Melissa realizes that, even if Tiffany is helping her with her prom dress, she doesn’t care much for it. Just before the prom night, Christy Renault (Ariana Greenblatt) suddenly goes missing. The town doesn’t realize that she is killed by a masked assailant. The cops aren’t of much help in finding her either. On prom night, Debby and her boyfriend Judd (Damian Romero) leave the party to make out, only to get killed by a masked killer.
As it happens, a student finds his friend’s decapitated head in a juice bowl and panics the entire party. Tiffany accuses Megan of pulling off this stunt to ruin her special night. Lori also believes that Megan is behind it. So, they fall apart during the night. While alone, Lori crosses paths with Tiffany, who reminds her of her family’s past. She wants to make Lori lose her mojo. Instead, it pushes Lori to be more confident. She enters a dance face-off with Tiffany, which helps her get noticed by more students. Shortly after, Melissa comes to speak with Lori, but Tifanny tries to break them apart. So, Melissa and Tiffany get into a heated argument.
It leads Tifanny to leave the party. She enters the changing room where she faces the masked killer. By the time she realizes what the killer is up to, she gets slain. Around then, Tyler sneaks out of the party with Lori, hoping to take their romance to the next step. However, just when he is about to make a move, he gets killed. Traumatized, Lori runs out to find Megan, just as scared upon seeing a killer. That makes them realize that there are two masked assailants, killing people throughout the night.
