The Witch’s Revenge: How Fear Street Flipped the Curse

At the center of the Fear Street trilogy lies a name whispered through blood and fear: Sarah Fier. Branded a witch, blamed for a century of horror, and remembered as the root of Shadyside’s curse. But what if everything we thought we knew about her was a lie?

Fear Street Part Three: 1666 unearths the truth—and when it hits, it turns the entire trilogy upside down.

Not a Curse—A Cover-Up

For generations, Shadyside suffered. Killers rose. Innocents died. And through it all, Sunnyvale prospered. Why? Because the story everyone believed—that Sarah Fier made a deal with the devil and cursed the town—was just a convenient myth. A distraction.

The real evil was never Sarah Fier.

It was Solomon Goode, the ancestor of the Goode family line, who made a Faustian bargain to gain power by feeding Shadyside’s souls to darkness. And every Goode man since, including Sheriff Nick Goode, kept that pact alive.

Sarah Fier wasn’t a witch.
She was a victim. A scapegoat. A symbol of resistance.

The Power of the Truth

When Deena re-lives Sarah’s final days in 1666, she sees it all: the betrayal, the love, the injustice. Sarah Fier was in love with a girl, and that love became the weapon used to destroy her. But her final vow before death? “I will shadow you forever.”

That’s not a curse.
That’s a promise of revenge.
Of truth cutting through centuries of lies.

Vengeance, Delivered

Fear Street Part Three brings Sarah’s spirit full circle. No longer seen as the villain, she becomes a guiding force, helping Deena end the Goode bloodline’s curse. In a poetic twist, the descendants of Solomon Goode fall victim to the same chaos they once unleashed.

Justice is brutal. But it’s earned.

In the end, the real witch gets her revenge—not through violence, but through truth. Through the courage of those who finally told her story right.

Final Thoughts: The Witch Reclaimed

Fear Street isn’t just a slasher saga. It’s a reclamation of history. A horror trilogy that uses blood and blades to tell a deeper tale about marginalization, injustice, and the power of legacy.

Sarah Fier isn’t a monster.
She’s a martyr.
And in the end, she gets what she deserves: not fear… but freedom.
