Fear Street Part Three: 1666 Movie Storyline. Having reunited the severed hand of Sarah Fier with the rest of her corpse, Deena has a vision showing the events of 1666 from the perspective of Sarah Fier herself. She lives with her father George and brother Henry in Union, the original settlement before it was divided into Sunnyvale and Shadyside. The community also includes Pastor Cyrus Miller, his daughter Hannah, Abigail and her sister Constance, Mad Thomas, Caleb, Sarah’s friends Lizzie and Isaac, Solomon Goode, and Solomon’s brother Elijah.
One night, while Sarah, Lizzie, and Hannah make their way to a party for the young adults, they sneak into the tent of a reclusive widow, where Sarah stumbles on a book of black magic. After fleeing, she and her friends arrive at the party, and there, she and Hannah are harassed by Caleb as they reject his advances. The two run off and get intimate, unknowingly seen by Mad Thomas. The next day, Pastor Miller begins to act strange, as the town’s food and water supply is destroyed. Sarah confides in Solomon and wonders if she is responsible for the town’s bad luck. The two discover Pastor Miller has murdered several children in the chapel, including Henry and Constance. Sarah is nearly killed by Pastor Miller before he himself is killed by Solomon.
Later that night, a town meeting is held at which the town decides that witchcraft is the cause of the grim events they are suffering. Caleb claims that Sarah and Hannah are the witches responsible, in retaliation for them refusing his advances at the party. The two attempt to flee, but Hannah is captured while Sarah escapes, as the town declares that Hannah will be executed at dawn. Sarah sneaks into the chapel where they are keeping Hannah and proclaims her love for her.
She decides to retrieve the widow’s book and use it to make a deal with the devil and save Hannah, but she finds the book gone and the widow murdered. She flees to Solomon’s house for help, and hides in the back room after he is ambushed by men hunting Sarah. While hiding, she finds tunnels under his house, revealing a ritual as well as the widow’s book. Solomon reveals he took the book to make a deal with the devil, offering Pastor Miller to be possessed to kill others in exchange for power and wealth.
He offers to share it with her, but Sarah rejects his offer and flees into the tunnels. He catches her and the two fight, with her hand cut off in the ensuing struggle. She escapes to the chapel, but is found by the townspeople and arrested. At Sarah and Hannah’s execution, Sarah is able to convince the town to spare Hannah’s life, at the cost of her own. Sarah swears vengeance to Solomon before she is hanged. Later, Lizzie, Issac, Hannah, and Abigail grieve Sarah and properly bury her body.
