Deena Johnson

Deena lives in Shadyside, the town the press calls the murder capital. Classmates say it all comes from Sarah Fier, the witch of 1666. Deena doesn't buy it. She broke up with Sam, who moved to Sunnyvale, and her brother Josh researches the town's history while her friends deal drugs to try to get out.

Coming back from a brawl between the rival schools, Deena gets a nosebleed, loses her grip on a cooler and Peter's car crashes. From there, killers from the past return and go after Sam. Deena gathers the group and proposes a plan nobody wanted: kill Sam for a moment and bring her back. She carries it out herself and revives her.

In the second film, Deena and Josh look for C. Berman to understand the curse. With what they learn, they find Sarah Fier's body and her missing hand. Deena reunites the two and slips into a vision of 1666, in which she is Sarah Fier.

In the vision, Deena learns the Goode family is responsible for the curse, and that Sheriff Nick Goode is its current heir. With Ziggy, Josh and mall janitor Martin, she sets a trap in the mall. In the end Sarah Fier possesses her for a moment and the curse ends.

Deena Johnson is a character of the Netflix trilogy. Shadyside, Fear Street and the idea of a family curse come from R. L. Stine's book series, which began in 1989. There is a Deena in The Wrong Number (1990), with no known link.
