Fear Street Part Two: 1978

At the end of “Fear Street Part 2: 1978,” the curse of Sarah Fier remains unresolved despite the efforts to reunite her severed hand with her remains. Throughout the film, it is revealed that Sarah Fier, a witch hanged in 1666, managed to cheat death by cutting off her hand, which she then placed on Satan’s Stone, leaving her mark on the land. However, the true power of the curse appears to be rooted in a network of tunnels beneath the campgrounds, where her undead minions emerge and where her hand’s skeletal remains are hidden. The characters discover that Sarah’s body was moved from its original resting place, likely by her followers or through some dark ritual, which complicates efforts to break her influence.

In a striking twist, Ziggy Berman, who is later revealed to be Christine Berman, is actually the real survivor from the camp massacre—she escaped and has been living in constant fear of the witch’s return. The film hints that Sarah Fier’s curse isn’t only about her death but also involves her influence continuing through her followers, especially given that her body was hidden or moved to prevent her from being fully defeated. Despite reuniting Sarah’s hand with her remains, the curse persists. In the final moments, Deena finds herself unexpectedly transported back to 1666, witnessing the events around Sarah Fier’s origins firsthand. This jump in time suggests that Sarah Fier’s story is far from over and that her influence might still be alive, possibly manipulated by her followers or even by Sarah herself, in ways that aren’t fully understood.

The ending leaves viewers with the notion that Sarah Fier’s curse might not truly be broken, and that her story could continue into the final installment of the trilogy. There’s a possibility that Sarah wanted her hand to be found, hinting at her desire to tell her story or reclaim her power through this reunion. The film sets up the final chapter, where the true depths of Sarah Fier’s history and her ongoing influence will be explored, hinting that the fight against her darkness is only just beginning.
