Fear Street Part 2: 1978 officially picks up where Fear Road Part 1: 1994 ends – or rather, it brings us back 16 years. The second installation of the Scared street The trilogy begins with Deena and Josh dragging a possessed Sam to C. Berman’s house to demand answers to the 300-year-old curse that is ravaging the town of Shadyside. Although C. Berman did not want to help the children at first, she finally tells the story of how she survived the bloody massacre at Camp Nightwing in 1978 Fear Street Part 2: 1978 end and pave the way for Fear Street Part 3: 1666? Let’s break down the main events in the second movie.
What happened at Camp Nightwing?
Most of the film takes place in 1978, when Ziggy Berman and her sister Cindy visit Camp Nightwing. (At first it might seem safe that the “C” in C. Berman stands for Cindy, but we’ll talk more about that later.) We find out early on who the camp killer is – it’s Tommy Slater, Cindy’s friend. While Cindy, Tommy, Alice and Alice’s friend Arnie sneak around the campsite at night, they end up in the house of Sarah Fier, the witch at the center of the Shadyside curse. Obsessed by Sarah, Tommy embarks on a series of murders with an ax and claims Arnie as his first victim. Then he goes to the main camp where Ziggy and the other campers are.
Cindy eventually escapes the witch’s house through the Mess Hall, where she finds Ziggy hiding from Tommy. Cindy kills Tommy just in time – at least she thinks. Soon after, Alice also makes her way back to camp with the hand of the witch who, if she is reunited with her body, is supposed to end the Shadyside curse. However, Ziggy accidentally bleeds his hand. This effectively causes Tommy and the other witch-possessed Shadyside killers to come back to life and hunt them down.
Does Ziggy die at Camp Nightwig?
Tommy kills Alice before she can take revenge on Arnie. After her death, the Bermans try to dig up Sarah Fier’s body from the Hanging Tree, but instead find a rock that says “The Witch Lives Forever”. Not long after, the resurrected Shadyside Killers seemingly murder the sisters. However, Ziggy miraculously makes it out alive after a young Nick Goode – who is the 1994 Sheriff of Shadyside – performs CPR on her.
At this point we learn that Cindy is not the only survivor of the massacre. Nick tells a paramedic that Ziggy’s real name is Christine or C. Berman. (I told you we would come back to this.) After the events of that night, Ziggy holds back, living in constant fear of the witch.
How does Fear Street: 1978 connect with Fear Street: 1666?
After hearing Ziggy’s story, Deena realizes that she and her friends found the witch’s body in the woods between Sunnyvale and Shadyside. Deena and Josh go to the mall (formerly warehouse) to dig up the hand under the hanging tree. Deena’s nose begins to bleed as she puts her hand next to the bones in the forest. In 1666 she immediately experienced a vision in which she was in Sarah Fier’s body. It seems like the curse hasn’t broken yet, so we need to adjust to it Fear Street Part 3: 1666 to see how everything plays out in this slasher trilogy!
