Horror fans can see Community star
Gillian Jacobs in the
upcoming horror movie Come Play, but this isn't the only horror project the actress has in store for audiences, as she recently starred in a trilogy of Fear Street films based on R.L. Stine's seminal stories. An ambitious endeavor, the three films were all filmed together, which will allow fans to see all three films when they release on a monthly basis on
Netflix next summer. The actress recently shared her excitement about the upcoming films and her passion for the project, having been such a fan of the books growing up. Stay tuned for details on the Fear Street films and see Come Play in select theaters this Friday, October 30th.
"I grew up reading R.L. Stine myself, so I remember getting an email from agents being like, 'I don't know if you've ever heard of this,' I was like, 'Are you kidding me?'" Jacobs shared with ComicBook.com. "I can't tell you how many R.L. Stine books I read growing up. It was so much fun. Leigh [Janiak], who wrote and directed three films back to back, truly the undertaking, they're still in post-production on them. She did an incredible job. The cast on that is so great. And it was really, really fun and I think that people are gonna love them. And as a childhood R.L. Stine fan, I was so excited to be a part of them."
