Warning: This article includes spoilers for Fear Street: 1994.

The first chapter in Netflix’s Fear Street Trilogy, Fear Street: 1994 has landed offering a serious slice of nostalgia not just for fans of the decade but also of traditional slasher movies. As part of the movie’s agenda to recapture the historical moment of 1994, director Leigh Janiak has assembled an incredible soundtrack that swings through heavy metal, RnB, and some indie classics of the era. Given the importance a mixtape plays in the slasher’s events, it’s a smart move to make music such a strong presence.

Somewhat inevitably compared to Stranger Things – and there’s a special thanks to one of the Duffer brothers in the credits – the horror is far removed from the young-teen-friendly spirit of RL Stine’s original Fear Street books, but it works. Amping up the gore and adding inventive kills and multiple villains was an inspired move, particularly when they’re coupled with the tub-thumping supernatural rock of Rob Zombie. And on the other side of the coin, Janiak’s team cater to the rich vein of teen angst and growing-of-age tensions by throwing in the likes of Radiohead, Sophie Hawkins, and Roberta Flack.

Given how big a part music plays in the film, it’s inevitable that fans will take to Shazam and Spotify to discover exactly what Deena puts on her mixtape for Sam and what Josh listens to as he chats online to his mysterious fellow murder aficionados. To help, here’s every song in Fear Street: 1994 and where each of them happens in the slasher.

The mixtape that Deena makes for Sam is titled “Hey, must be a devil between us”, which is the second line of classic Pixies song “Hey” and sets out the movie’s stall when it comes to the theme of possession. It’s also the best insight into how Deena feels for Sam as one line notably says “if you go, I will surely die”. And if anyone watching the opening credits is unsure of the tone, using NIN’s notorious firebrand anthem to sadomasochism is a great way to dispel any concerns:

• Nine Inch Nails, “Closer” – Plays over the opening murder scene in the Mall.
• Garbage, “Only Happy When It Rains” – As Deena tries to write her hate note to Sam.
• Iron Maiden, “Fear of the Dark” – Josh chats online to the Shadyside Killers chat group.
• Bush, “Machinehead” – Josh walks through his school corridors.
• Sophie Hawkins, “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” – Josh sees his crush (Kate) at school and time slows down.
• Portishead, “Sour Times” – As Deena walks through school annoyed at the sight of students kissing.
• Cypress Hill, “Insane in the Brain” – Deena gets on the bus to the football game against Sunnyvale.
• Radiohead, “Creep” – Deena listens to music on the way to the game.
• 99 tales, “Thursday” – Plays quietly in the background as Deena calls Sam’s house after the game and the crash.
• White Zombie, “More Human Than Human” – Plays twice. Once as Josh plays video games in his room and also over the film’s end credits.
• Snoop Dogg, “Gz and Hustlas” – Kate and Simon babysit Deena’s neighbor as the killer first attacks.
• Roberta Flack, “Killing Me Softly with His Song”– Deena and the kids go to the hospital to visit Sam.
• White Town, “Your Woman” – Deena and the gang meet Nurse Eddy.
• Mills Brothers, “You Always Hurt The One You Love” – Simon is attacked by Ruby, who sings a second version of the song as she did when she killed her victims.
• Cowboy Junkies, “Sweet Jane” – The gang wash Sam’s blood off. Josh kisses Kate. Sam and Deena make up.
• Prodigy, “Firestarter” – The kids lay a trap for the witch’s henchmen in the school. This song wasn’t released until 1996 originally.
• Pixies, “Hey” – At the very end of the movie, on the mixtape as Sam and Deena cuddle in bed.
• Soundgarden, “The Day I Tried To Live” – Josh talks online again to explain the murders as Sam attacks Deena upstairs.
• Alice Cooper, “Schools Out” – Plays over the tease for the sequel, Fear Street: 1978.
