If You Want to Be Scared… Fear Street Part One: 1994
Author R.L. Stine’s classic horror tales fire up the first installment of this blood-curdling trilogy about a town literally haunted by its past. In Part 1, the teens of Shadyside (including Panic’s Olivia Welch) realize that they have been targeted by a timeless evil. The scares continue in July 9’s 1978-set installment and July 16’s origin story dating back to (fittingly) 1666. Premieres Friday, July 2
If You Want a Ridiculous Escape… America: The Motion Picture
Channing Tatum puts the “What the F?” in Founding Fathers as the voice of a chainsaw-hurling George Washington for this cartoon about the Revolutionary War that’s way more hysterical than historically accurate. Olivia Munn and Andy Samberg also pipe up. Premieres Wednesday, June 30
