“	Before the witch's final breath, she found a way to cheat her death. By cutting off her wicked hand, she kept her grip upon our land. She reaches from beyond the grave, to make good men her wicked slaves. She'll take your blood, she'll take your head. She'll follow you until you're dead.	„

Biography

Background

Everything around Sarah's past is a mystery. It is only known that she was a witch that lived around 1666 in the poor small town of Shadyside. She was accused of witchcraft and condemned to be executed in the gallows. They chained and dragged her to her place of execution: A withered tree in a hill. However, Sarah managed to cheat her death by using black magic: She made a pact with the Devil by severing her own hand and buring it below the Devil's Stone, located within an underground maze built by her with the form of the Witch's Mark. By doing this, she anchored her spirit into the physical realm which allowed her to curse the land.

Shortly after Sarah's execution, a series of gruesome deaths isolated the once peaceful town of Shadyside. Many children were found horribly mutilated with their eyes gouged out. It was later revealed that the perpetrator was local pastor Cyrus Miller, who just mysteriously ran amok and started murdering people. Many people couldn't believe that the calm Pastor Miller could be responsible of such heinous acts, and started theories about Sarah Fier's curse, turning it in a local urban legend and symbol of the town.

However, the legend is very real, and Shadyside would never escape of her mortal grip for generations to come.

Fear Street Part 1: 1994

Shadyside is a town known for its long history of violent murders committed by single persons. The record is so long that it gained the nickname of "USA's Killer Capital". In a cold night of 1994, the same thing happened again. A local graduate named Ryan Torres simply snapped and murdered seven people in Shadyside's Mall, place that he worked in, dressing himself with a cloaked skull costume and using a knife. Ryan was shot in the head by Sheriff Nick Goode, who arrived the scene following a call made by one of the workers who was being pursued by the killer. Unfortunately, he arrived too late. Some Shadysiders take this as another of the Witch's curses, who just turned Ryan in another of her slaves.

Local student Deena and her brother Josh attend at the same school, who is currently mourning for one of the victims, another student named Heather (who was also Ryan's friend). The school is planning to make a football game with rival town Sunnyvale, but before that, there is an obligatory veil watch for respect to the victims. Deena and her drug dealer friends Kate and Simon attend to the game, but they are caught in a fight between both teams as Sunnyvale's Devils team leader Peter insulted them, saying that the mourning can't be real if it happens every day. Peter is also the boyfriend of Sam, Deena's ex-girlfriend. Deena tries to get enclosure with her as she believes she is a faker for pretending to not be lesbian. On the ride back home, Shadysiders are planning to get revenge on Sunnyvalers for their insult in the game, but just as they are speaking, they are being pursued by Peter and his friends, throwing eggs to the bus. Deena decides to take the directive of the situation as she saw Sam was also in the car with them (although not participating). She takes a gallon cooler and plans to throw it at them, but is distracted by Kate who says she is nose bleeding. Distracted, the gallon drops out in the wrong place and the Sunnyvaler's car crashes into the woods. A dizzy Sam gets out of the car and starts nose bleeding too on top of a bunch of withered grass, having horrible visions of what appears to be a woman screaming to her. The police arrives the scene but none of the two sides are willing to talk about what happened. Peter sought vengeance against the Shadysiders, much at Deena's disinterest.

Skullmaskunmasked1 — The enslaved Ryan Torres still posing as Skull Mask.

The next night, Deena is being stalked by a mysterious individual dressed with a skull suit, the same one used in the night of the mall massacre. She thinks Peter is this mysterious person, and alerts Kate (who was babysitting along with Simon) of this attempt of a prank. However, Skull Mask ends up breaking in the house Kate was in. Luckily for them, the killer seemed to ignore them as he was looking in a bunch of dirty laundry. Thinking that the joke went too far, Deena, her brother and her friends go to the local hospital where Sam was attended in to confront her. Sam says that Peter was with her all night along, something that it's later confirmed as Peter appears in the scene, but is surprisingly killed by Skull Mask by stabbing him in the chest. Deena confronts the killer and unmasks him, revealing that it is the deceased Ryan Torres, still with the gun wound in his forehead. Skull Mask kills other two people before leaving the scene. Deena and Sam try to alert Sheriff Goode but ouf course, he is not believing them, as he was the one who killed him in the first place. Goode leaves the scene to attend at the hospital massacre, and starts to think that this case might have happened before.

Simon leaves his friends for a moment to take a piss and is attacked by a psychotic woman with a barber blade. Deena shoots the woman with a pistol that he stole from one of the officers but notices that the attacker has black blood and also gets up again despite being shot in the head multiple times. Simon describes the attacker to Josh and he explains to him that this woman was in fact Ruby Lane, a local Shadysider that snapped and killed her boyfriend and friends while singing Rain Man, a crime that happened nearly thirty years ago. Josh then explains the long history of Shadyside's killers, and tells them that this is the Witch's doing and the curse is real, however, Kate notices that this is not the same kind of curse that happened in the mall, as the modus operandi shifted from possessing people to just sending two of their previous slave undead killers.

Sam enters the scene and explains that they crashed onto the Witch's grave the night of the accident, allowing Sam to see her. This act angered the Witch and then would send more of her slave killers, not stopping until Sam is dead, just like the old nursery rhyme said. The bunch break into the Witch's resting place and try to bury her in a more correct way in a futile attempt to calm the furious spirit, but this only triggered the appearance of another one of the Witch's slaves, the Camp Nightwing Killer, a masked slasher that murdered everyone at the now demolished Camp Nightwing in 1978. The Nightwing Killer runs at full speed to Josh but fully ignores him, instead targeting Sam who is saved by Deena. The cast manage to escape the masked killer and notice that all of the killers are not targeting them on purpose, instead going fully on Sam. They notice that time they were attacked by Skull Mask and Ruby is not because they were going after them, but because they had Sam's blood in their clothes (following the night of the accident).

Josh tries to use this at their advantage and plans a trap to get rid of the killers: They would use Sam's blood to gather all of them in an enclosed place and turn them on fire. They manage to pull the trap using the Elementary School's bathroom, trapping the three killers inside and turning the place in a infernal furnace, making them explode in black goo. However, the killers seem to be a lot more resilient as the strange black material starts to move as every individual were alive, trying to reassemble itself. The Nightwing Killer is the first one to come to physical form and starts pursuing Sam. The bunch eventually gives up as the killers can't be stopped. An angry Kate suggest to sacrifice Sam as they only want her, something that she later agrees, but before she could get axed to death she is then pulled back to the room as Josh discovered that there is a way to escape the curse: A woman known as C. Berman managed to survive the Camp Nightwing massacre by having her heart stop and later being reanimated by a local guy. They notice that the only way of getting rid of the curse is dying, in one way or another. Using this a basis, they pull out another plan: Following an accident that happened to Simon's brother, they plan to kill Sam with an overdose using specific drugs and then reanimate her using adrenaline. Sheriff Goode is seen visiting an old house (supposedly C. Berman's) and delivering a note that says "It's happening again".

The cast go to a drug store and plan to use themselves as bait using clothes stained with Sam's blood while Deena and Sam pull out the plan. Everything turns out to be a complete disaster as Skull Mask interrupted them, sending the drugs flying everywhere. Deena tries to improvise finding another way to kill Sam by drowning her in a lobster tank. This drags out too long and Kate is brutally killed by Skull Mask using a bone cutter machine. Simon is later axed in the head by the Nightwing Killer, but before he has the chance to kill Josh, Sam finally passes out and "ends" with the Witch's curse, making the killers vanish into thin air. She is later revived using the adrenaline. The remaining trio is interrogated by Sheriff Goode, who notices they are lying. The Sheriff knows what is actually going on this time as he is now aware that this was the curse's doing, but tells the media that the perpetrator were Kate and Simon, who killed everyone just to find drugs.

Deena and Sam reconcile and decide to meet the next night. Deena answers the phone call of a woman later identified as C. Berman, who warns her that despite stopping the killers, the Witch was still looking after them, and she would never stop until get what she wants. We see in a mysterious place that a cloaked figure is carving Sam's name in a gravestone along with many other names belonging to previous enslaved killers. Deena is later stabbed by Sam, much at her surprise. She manages to fight back before getting killed and ties her up using the phone's cord. Deena bows to get her back not mattering the costs.

Fear Street Part 2: 1978

Deena and Josh take up a tied up Sam to C. Berman's house, who now lives as an old hermit that counts everyday since the Camp Nightwing Massacre. She is hesitant to help them at first, but latter agrees to explain them what happened to her the day of the Nightwing Massacre:

The movie is taken to July 19th of 1978. Young Ziggy Berman is having a bad time at Camp Nightwing as Sunnyvaler Sheila and her friends are constantly harassing her for being a ''weird girl''. Her sister Cindy seems to have a hard time too since her former friend Alice and her boyfriend Arnie make her life a constant hell for a school problem they had in the past (which involved Cindy snitching on Alice), but she gets comforted by her boyfriend Tommy Slater, a camp counselor that works in behalf of Shadyside. The sisters have a really troublesome relation as Ziggy believes her sister to be a fake thanks to her desire of being a Sunnyvaler.

Sarahmark — The Witch's Mark found at Sarah's underground hideout.

The Camp is in the eve of an event they know as ''Color War'', when Shadysiders and Sunnyvalers get involved in a series of games to prove which side is the best. Ziggy is taken to Nurse Mary Lane's consulting room to treat a burn made by Sheila. Ziggy enters the old shack just to find that she is completely alone. She finds Mrs. Lane's diary opened in a page that reveals a weird symbol labeled as ''The Witch's Mark'', but Nurse Lane breaks into the room before she has the chance to inspect it more. She notices a weird, unusual behavior in Nurse Lane, but decides to ignore it. As she is being treated of her burn, she commits the mistake of asking her about the Witch's Mark, which leads to Nurse Lane opening into a psychotic episode regarding what her daughter Ruby Lane did many years ago. Cindy enters the scene and takes a freaked out Ziggy away, making the sisters enter into an argument again. Cindy then goes to clean the mess hall of the camp with Tommy and starts complaining of these outrageous events in her life, but notices that a weird figure is following her. The figure is revealed to be Nurse Lane menacingly holding a knife and saying how Tommy's name was already in ''the wall'' and that he couldn't be saved. She then bashes onto him with the knife in an attempt to kill him, but gets fatally wounded in the struggle. Both Tommy and Cindy get traumatized of the event and start thinking of what Nurse Lane meant with those words. Despite this event, the camp still plans to continue with the Color War, starting with a ''Capture the Flag'' game. Tommy is giving positions of the event with fellow Shadysiders but starts hearing weird voices in his head that call for him, followed by a constant headache.

Tommykillsarnie — The brainwashed Tommy Slater kills Arnie.

Cindy and Tommy break into the consulting room to try and find answers about Nurse Lane's behavior (which Cindy believes was caused by drugs). Tommy finds Nurse Lane's diary and starts reading information regarding Sarah Fier's curse, saying how it can stop if both her body and hand reunite. Alice and Arnie break into the place too and take the diary with them in order to find the Witch's house, as Nurse Lane drew a map in it. Both Cindy and Tommy are forced to follow them as Alice took Cindy's purse with her. Once they reach the place they notice a bunch of holes digged by Nurse Lane. They think she might have tried to find Sarah Fier's hand in an attempt to end with the curse that killed her daughter. Arnie finds the Witch's house and decide to go down in an underground stairway located near it. There, they find a bunch of witchcraft stuff and freshly extinguised candles, being evidence of recent activity. They enter a room where an huge Witch Mark is carved in the floor. Arnie decides to leave the place as it was boring for him, but finds out that Tommy is acting weird. Cindy finds a secret passage behind a bookcase, but Alice makes a more disturbing discovery: A set of tombstones with the names of the Shadyside Killers carved in them, and at the end, the name of Tommy. Shortly after this, Tommy grabs an axe hanging on the wall and splits up Arnie's head in two with it, later attempting to kill both girls. They use the bookcase passage to hide from him but they later get buried alive when they push Tommy onto a wall, making the place to crumble down and block the entrance with rocks and debris. They notice the place are actually a bunch of interconnected catacombs that lead into the exit. Alice is mad with Cindy for what happened to Arnie, as she finds out that Nurse Lane was trying to kill Tommy before because she found his name carved in the wall. Cindy tries to find the exit but she ends up walking in circles. She grabs Nurse Lane's diary and discovers that the Witch's Mark actually represents the maze in which they are in, a map that leads to the exit.

While all of this is happening, Ziggy and a young Nick Goode pull a prank on Sheila and lock her up in the Camp's bathroom. Tommy goes around with his axe murdering as much Shadyside campers he can find (most of them being kids). The game is cancelled due to this and all the campers are gathered in the mess hall. Nick and Gary go to find the remaining campers and Ziggy goes to unlock Sheila from the bathroom. Alice and Cindy make her way into the center of the maze, and finds a room filled with a strange black substance and fly-like insects swarming around. They make the gross discovery of a meaty heart-like appendix attached to the floor, the womb that gives birth to all of Sarah Fier's killers in order to come to life again. Alice makes the foolish decision of touching it, and is then haunted by visions of all the Shadyside Killers and Cyrus Miller's eyeless victims that makes her freak out and run scared in all the maze, falling into a pit and breaking her leg. While Cindy is treating her of her wound, she notices that the walls are covered with a red moss that she was trying to previously clean in the bathrooms with Tommy, which means the exit is near.

Tommymasked — Ziggy masks Tommy, completing his Nightwing Killer attire.

Meanwhile, Tommy continues with his killing spree by brutally murdering Joan and three kids. Nick finds the gruesome scene and starts vomiting. He is later surprised by Kurt who discovered Joan's body, and tells him to ring the bell and get all the gathered campers out of there in a bus. Ziggy unlocks the bathroom and is attacked by Sheila, but she easily knocks her out. Her screams lead both Alice and Cindy to the exit, which is apparently below one of the toilets. Gary is also lead to the place and decides to help them in getting out by using a rope in a bucket. Unfortunately for them, they are surprised by Tommy, who quickly beheads Gary and later attempts to kill Ziggy, also traping both Alice and Cindy again. Nick finds Ziggy but soon both of them start being pursued by Tommy in the Science and Nature cabin. Using the diary, Alice reveals that there is another exit to the maze right beneath the mess hall, as the camp was built onto Union, the old Shadyside town where Sarah Fier was executed. Cindy finds the locked exit, but Alice stays behind due to her wound. Ziggy is followed by Tommy to the mess hall while Cindy still tries to open the hatch that blocks the exit. She locks herself into the kitchen's storage in an attempt to hide from him, but Tommy destroys the door with the axe. Ziggy stabs him in the chest but does nothing to him aside from making his axe fall. He then tries to kill Ziggy by strangling her, but she defends herself by covering his head with a burlap sack in an attempt to suffocate him, but also proves unsuccesful. Just before he has the chance to finish her, Cindy arrives and kills Tommy with several stabs to the chest, remembering the good times he passed with him.

Alice enters the scene and reveals that the exit below the toilets actually contained the Devil's Stone from the legend, which meant she found the millenary Sarah Fier's hand. With one piece of the puzzle in their power, they only had to find Sarah's body to finish the curse once at for all, but Ziggy makes the horrible mistake of dropping her blood in the hand thanks to her bleeding nose. By doing this, she came in contact with the Witch and saw her, showing her angered face. Soon, the black heart below the camp starts beating and pouring a meaty, black substance that gives Sarah's previous enslaved killers shape and form. Thomas also comes back to life and axes Alice to death. Filled with rage, Cindy grabs a shovel and brutally beheads Tommy with it, but even this was not enough to finish him again. The Berman sisters are the only ones left, and they soon notice that all of Sarah's wrath is falling onto them. They quickly run to the tree where Sarah was hung (which was located near the camp) as they believe her body was located there. They start to dig but are quickly surrounded by many of the Shadyside Killers, including Billy Barker and the Milkman. Instead of finding Sarah's body, they just find a rock with a label that reads ''The Witch Forever Lives''. Not having time nor options, Cindy drops Sarah's hand and defends Ziggy from the Nightwing Killer. Ziggy tries to run but is quickly catched by the Milkman, who starts stabbing her. Cindy loses the fight and is then axed to death by her previous boyfriend. The Berman sisters die together in that night. However, Nick enters the scene and revives Ziggy by doing RCP. Unfortunately, Cindy isn't lucky enough.

The movie is taken to 1994 again and C. Berman reveals that her real name is Christine, but addopted the name of Ziggy in the past. Surprised by this story, Deena tells to her that they found the body, but the hand is still missing. Since the Shadyside Mall was build onto Camp Nightwing, they return to the place and find that the old tree was still standing in the middle of the place. They start to dig and find that indeed, that old hand was there. Berman has a bad hunch and speaks to his old friend Sheriff Goode. Deena takes the hand and goes with Josh to the place where everything started, the burial site of Sarah Fier. She reunites both pieces and seemingly finishes with the curse once and for all. However, after a bunch of visions, we see that Deena was taken back to 1666, apparently impersonating Sarah herself.

Fear Street Part 3: 1666

Following up from the end of Fear Street Part 2: 1978, Deena is thrust back into 1666 as Sarah Fier herself. It is shown that she is an ordinary girl who lives in the very first settlement neighbourhood, with her father and younger brother. Her father asks her to deliver a pig to Solomon, who is a good friend of theirs. As she walks to his house, she is seen passing many people in the neighbourhood, repeating the lines "A full moon rises before nightfall. A good night to enjoy the fruits of the land", and it is revealed that a party will occur tonight in celebration of the full moon.

The Shadyside Killers

Every several years, the Witch carves the name of a Shadysider in a tombstone to be her slave, and transforms him/her in a psycho killer that would go in a murderous rampage, ending with the lives of everything it has in front, including closed ones. This act has been going on for several generations in the past. The known list goes as it follows:

1666 - Pastor Miller

Cyrus Miller, also known as Pastor Miller was the local priest in old Shadyside town. He is the first of the Shadyside killers to be registered in the history of the town, as his possession happened after Sarah Fier's execution. According to Josh, he killed children and gouged their eyes out. He is set to appear as the main antagonist in Fear Street Part 3: 1666.

He was portrayed by Michael Chandler.

1904 - The Grifter

The Grifter (possible real name: Isaac Milton) was the last killer to be chronologically introduced by Josh in the first movie. According to him, there were more killers prior to him but the same were never mentioned. The Grifter is an unknown masked killer that apparently, gutted several girls in Shadyside. There are more details to him seen in a newspaper, but the letter is too tiny for the audience to see. He is seen in a flashback drowning a girl in an unknown lake.

The movie credited an unknown character named "The Shame Killer" (Keil Oakley Zepernick), as well as a supposed victim credited as "Shame Drowning Victim". This might be an unknown alias of the Grifter, as it was never mentioned in the movie.

1922 - Billy Barker

William "Billy" Barker was the name of a little boy who was possessed by the Witch and forced to kill his brothers and parents while they were sleeping, bashing their heads with a baseball bat. He was deformed and used a mask to isolate his face from society. He is also hinted to be mentally handicapped. Currently, Billy is the only one of the Witch's slaves to be a kid, showing that her vengeance knows no limits. He was seen in a flashback in the first film bashing one of his brother's skull with a baseball bat. Billy was one of the killers revived in 1978 by the Witch in order to kill Ziggy and Cindy Berman, the ones who stole her hand. He is a minor antagonist in Fear Street Part 2: 1978.

He was portrayed by Emily Brobst.

1935 - The Humpty Dumpty Killer

The Humpty Dumpty Killer (possible real name: Ed Carson) is a moniker given to an unknown killer that isolated Shadyside in 1935. Further information about him is shrouded in mystery, but it is said in newspapers that dismembered body parts could be found all over the town, which is probably the reason for the killer's nickname, as he dismembered his victims like in the old nursery rhyme of Humpty Dumpty. We can actually see a photo of one of the Killer's victims severed head with the top part completely cut off.

1950 - The Milkman

Harry Rooker, also known as The Milkman was a local Shadysider possessed in 1950 by the Witch and sent on a murderous rampage across the neighborhoods of Shadyside. Rooker would randomly kill housewives using a razor blade, stabbing them until they were dead, using his job of a friendly milkman as a facade. Rooker is shown to have a charred face. It is unknown if he had this prior to his possession or if the same is the cause for his deformity. We can see a flashback of Rooker in the first movie, brutally stabbing a woman to death through her jaw in her own yard. Harry was one of the killers revived by the Witch in 1978 in order to kill the Berman sisters. He is a minor antagonist in Fear Street Part 2: 1978.

He was portrayed by Kevin Waterman.

1965 - Ruby Lane

Ruby Lane, also known as the Teenage Killer was a young student possessed by the Witch in 1965. Using a barber blade, she brutally murdered her friends and boyfriend while singing Rain Man. Lastly, she killed herself by cutting her veins. Her case resonated a lot because she was a completely normal and kind person known by everyone prior to the murders. Ruby was also one of the three killers revived by the Witch and sent to hunt Samantha Fraser. She was also revived in 1978 in order to kill the Berman sisters. She carries her barber blade and several scars in her wrists and face. She also still keeps singing her classic song while pursuing her victims. She is one of the secondary antagonists of Fear Street Part 1: 1994, and also appears in Fear Street Part 2: 1978.

She was portrayed by Jordyn DiNatale.

1978 - The Camp Nightwing Killer

Thomas Slater, also known as The Camp Nightwing Killer (or Nightwing Killer for short) was the name of a counselor in Camp Nightwing at Shadyside, a place attended even by Sunnyvalers. He was possessed by the Witch in 1978. He is probably the most influential of the bunch aside of Miller thanks to his body count: Twelve people were killed in the Camp Nightwing Massacre, leaving many parents permanently scarred. This was also the first massacre to leave a survivor: A woman known as C. Berman. The camp was later demolished by the Goode family and a big mall was built onto it. As a killer, Tommy carries a burlap bag on his head as a mask and carries a big double-edged axe. The Nightwing Killer was one of the three slaves revived by the Witch on her quest to finish Sam, and was also revived in 1978 in order to kill the Berman sisters. He is shown to be one of the most dangerous of the bunch, as he is the only of the killers shown to be capable of running (unlike Skull Mask whos is mostly seen teleporting or Ruby who resorts to trickery) making him very tricky to escape from. He is one of the secondary antagonists in Fear Street Part 1: 1994 and is the main antagonist of Fear Street Part 2: 1978.

He was portrayed by McCabe Slye and Lloyd Pitts.

1994 - Skull Mask

Ryan Torres, mostly known as Skull Mask is the most recent addition to the Shadyside Killers. Formerly a normal graduate, Ryan was possessed by the Witch and murdered seven people in his work at the Shadyside Mall with a knife, including his long-time friend Heather. He was later shot to the head by Sheriff Goode, ending with his rampage. However, he would be later revived as one of the enslaved killers sent by the Witch to hunt down Sam. A prominent killer, Skull Mask stalks his victims before appearing from nowhere and brutally kills them with his trusty knife. Much like Nightwing he is also capable of running, but isn't used as his main tactic of pursuing his victims. He is also currently the killer with highest body count aside the Nightwing Killer, barely surpassed by him (11-12). He is the main antagonist of Fear Street Part 1: 1994.

He was portrayed by David W. Thompson, while Noah Bain Garret portrayed him in the Skull Mask disguise.
