Fear Street Part Three: 1666

The ending of Fear Street Part 3: 1666 reveals that the true source of Shadyside’s curse was not Sarah Fier herself, but Solomon Goode, a man who sought power by making a pact with the devil. Solomon, suffering from personal tragedy and jealousy, murdered Sarah Fier’s love interest, stole her spellbook, and negotiated with Satan in exchange for success, which set off a chain of evil that plagued the town for centuries. While the myth of Sarah Fier as a witch was fabricated by the Goode family to blame her for the town’s misfortunes, in reality, she was innocent. Her death and her curse were used as a scapegoat to mask the true villain: Solomon Goode and his descendants, who repeatedly made sacrifices to maintain their wealth and power.

When Deena uncovers the truth in 1666, she learns that the curse on the Goode family is tied to a pact with demonic forces, and by killing Nick Goode, who was possessed by the evil, she manages to break that curse. With Nick’s death, the malevolent spirits and the dark magic finally vanish, as does the witch’s mark, and the town’s cursed history appears to be ending. The undead monsters and sinister forces are cast away, freeing Shadyside from its centuries-old torment.

The post-credits scene hints at a new threat: someone sneaking into Solomon Goode’s old spellbook to possibly reignite the cursed legacy. Though Deena has no desire to continue the evil, the mysterious hands taking the book suggest that the cycle of darkness could start all over again, leaving the door open for future conflicts. Overall, the film’s conclusion emphasizes that the real evil stems from greed and systemic corruption, and that understanding and confronting the true source of the town’s suffering is the key to breaking free from its long history of horror. It’s a reminder that the roots of evil are often hidden beneath layers of deception, and that the fight for justice and truth is ongoing.
