That’s exactly how Fear Street co-writer/director Leigh Janiak got to meet one of her all-time idols, best-selling YA author R.L. Stine, on the set of Fear Street: Part 3 – 1666.
It’s still an open debate on whether or not people should ever meet their heroes, but even if you stand firmly against the prospect, you’d probably be open to meeting one of them at a moment’s notice.
A huge fan of both the author and the literary franchise she adapted into a Netflix success story, Janiak’s first meeting with Stine was such a surprise that it was, in part, a rather embarrassing moment.
