Fear Street 3 ending explained - who created Shadyside's curse? - digitalspy.com

Fear Street Part 3: 1666 ending spoilers follow.

Netflix's ambitious Fear Street trilogy has now come to an end with the unique final instalment, Fear Street Part 3: 1666.

As teased at the end of Part 2, the final movie marked a change from the slasher vibe of the first two outings as it took us right back to 1666 and the start of the curse that has affected Shadyside for centuries.

But was it really Sarah Fier all along or did some hidden evil lurk in Shadyside behind the killings? We've now got all the answers and in case you're still a bit unclear how it all fits together, we're here to help.

To explain it all though, we need to go into some major spoilers for Fear Street Part 3: 1666, so look away now if you haven't seen the movie yet.

Fear Street 3 ending explained

The third movie, for the first hour at least, might bring back the likes of Kiana Madeira, Ashley Zukerman and Olivia Welch, but they aren't playing the characters we've known from the first two movies.

Instead, they're all playing characters in 1666 who had some part to play in the hanging of Sarah Fier. Madeira takes on the role of the supposed witch and Welch plays Sarah's love interest Hannah Miller in a nice echo of Deena and Sam's relationship in 1994.

But there's no time-travel involved as it's revealed that Deena is only seeing the events that played out in 1666, the events that led to the creation of the curse that has haunted Shadyside for centuries. In the big twist of the movie, it's revealed that it wasn't Sarah Fier's fault – it was Sheriff Goode's (Zukerman) ancestor Solomon Goode.

One night, when Sarah and Hannah were getting intimate in the woods, Solomon broke into the home of Widow Mary (Jordana Spiro, who played the mother of Ruby Lane in the other two movies) and stole her book of spells.

He then used one spell, entitled "Simple Exchange", to make a deal with the Devil in return for his prosperity. All Solomon had to do was offer a "single soul" every few years, turning them into murderers so the Devil can feed on the blood of their victims.

The first victim of this spell was Pastor Miller, who killed 12 children including Sarah's sister. However, since rumours about Sarah and Hannah's relationship were spreading around the settlement of Union, they were accused of laying with the Devil and bringing the curse upon everyone.

Solomon used this to his advantage and when Sarah escaped from his clutches (not before he cut off her hand, mind), he caught up with her and offered her to his fellow Union folk. Sarah and Hannah were set to be hanged as witches, but Sarah saved Hannah by confessing to being a witch and claiming she bewitched the Pastor.

As Sarah was being prepared by Solomon to be hanged, she offered him a warning: "The truth will come out... The truth shall be your curse. It will follow you for eternity. I will shadow you forever. I will show them what you've done. I will never let you go."

After Sarah died, her friends moved her body from under the hanging tree so that nobody knew where she was, and left the sign we saw in 1978 ("the witch forever lives"). We thought that anybody who bled on Sarah's body damned themselves to be hunted, but it was just Sarah's way of showing them what was done to her in 1666.

The movie then cuts back to Deena at Sarah's grave in 1994 as Sheriff Nick Goode arrives, kickstarting the bloody climax to the trilogy (or Fear Street 1994: Part 2 as the movie puts it). She tells Josh (Benjamin Flores Jr) everything and they steal Nick's police car when he tries to find them in the woods.

Nick has been carrying on the deal with the Devil that Solomon started in 1666, offering somebody from Shadyside to the Devil and turning them into killers. As a result, he gets whatever he wants, as does his family, and Sunnyvale gets "better and better" (Union was split into Shadyside and Sunnyvale when the settlement ended).

The undead killers weren't coming after Deena, Sam and co because Sarah got a taste for their blood, they were sent by the Devil to stop the Goode family secret from getting out. Since Deena now knows everything, all of the killers start coming back to life and she clearly needs a plan.

Using the help of Ziggy (Gillian Jacobs) – who had unwittingly helped Nick find Deena as she thought he'd be able to help – and Shadyside Mall janitor Martin (Darrell Britt-Gibson), they come up with a plan to lure the killers to the mall and trap them inside, before setting them on Nick when he arrives by dousing him in Deena's blood.

It doesn't quite go to plan and ends up with Deena chasing after Nick in the tunnels under Shadyside, the same ones that Sarah tried to escape through in 1666 which lead to where the Goode family had performed their ritual over the years.

While Josh, Ziggy and Martin battle with the undead killers in the mall, Nick stabs Deena (unaware she was wearing body armour made out of books) and she puts his hand on the mound of organs we saw in 1978 which has been growing since the curse started.

Nick sees flashes of all the people murdered as a result of the Goode's deal with the Devil over the years, including Sarah herself, giving Deena the time to stab Nick in the eye to end the curse once and for all. The undead killers disappear and Sam is freed from the Devil's possession.

When Deena and Sam stumble out into Nick's luxurious house in Sunnyvale (also connected to the tunnels), they witness a car accident. We hear a news report about how "all is no longer good in Sunnyvale" and how evidence has surfaced about Nick's involvement in all the recent deaths in Shadyside.

Ziggy goes to see Mrs Lane to give her back the diary she stole in 1978, Josh meets up with the girl he's been talking to online and Deena and Sam create a memorial to Sarah in the woods that marks her out as "the first Shadysider".

A happy ending, right? Not quite. A brief credits scene heads back into the tunnels and we see the book of spells again. Just before it cuts to black, somebody grabs it and, who knows, maybe the curse will start all over again...

The entire Fear Street trilogy is available to watch on Netflix.
