The movie Fear Street: Prom Queen lasts for 90 minutes. This length of 1 hour and 30 minutes includes the whole story, from meeting the main characters to the prom night massacre's climax and ending. The filmmakers keep the pace steady, which gives them time to build tension and suspense while adding enough genre-reminiscent violent and gory scenes.

The horror slasher does not waste any time and dives straight into the main conflict. The murders begin before prom night even starts, which sets the mood for the rest of the movie. In the last 20 minutes, there is a climax with intense action, shocking revelations, and an exciting showdown.
