The Shadyside Killers are the killers featured in the Fear Street series.

Killers[]
Pastor Cyrus Miller[]
The first known serial killer is Pastor Cyrus Miller, who killed 12 children in his congregation by gouging out their eyes with a hoof pick. Among these victims were Henry, Sarah Fier's brother, and Constance.
This came after he began muttering to himself and acting strange, then all of a sudden Sarah found he had locked the children in the church hall, and killed them under the influence of the devil, upon attempting to kill Sarah, Solomon then grabbed a rake and stabbed the once good pastor which ultimately killed him and in turned saved the life of Sarah. He was later mentioned by the latter who was forced to admit she had been the one to bewitch Miller despite being innocent.

Ruby was soon summoned to the camp in an attempt to deal with the threat of Cindy and Ziggy attempting to end the curse.
In 1994, Ruby returned where she sat close to the police station singing the song "You always hurt the ones you love" which had drawn the attention of Simon who walked over to her where once she noticed him, she attempted to kill him with her razor blade but was shot at by Deena who had stolen a gun. She alongside Tommy and Ryan were lured into Shadyside High where they were locked in a bathroom and blown up however Ruby came back to kill again.

Thomas Slater[]
Tommy originally worked as a camp counselor at Camp Nightwing during the week of July 12th, 1978 until July 19th where he was sacrificed to Satan by a young Nick, his possession began as early as when he helped his girlfriend clean the mess hall as evident when the camp's nurse Mary Lane eventually snuck into the cabin and grabbed a knife with the intention on killing Tommy as she claimed she had seen his name on the wall and that he was going to die that night.
His first victim was his co-counselor Arnie, he alongside Tommy, Alice and Cindy had gone to find Sarah's grave where upon finding it, the girls split up and went ahead but Arnie remained behind with Tommy, Tommy's attitude began to change as he then grabbed an axe and began mutilating Arnie's face which was then witnessed by Cindy and Alice. When he was unable to get to the two, Tommy left the mark and went on to continue his spree.
His other victims included Joan, unnamed campers that were unable to escape, Jeremy, Gary ,Kate's aunt and Cindy herself. Tommy attempted to kill Ziggy but he instead hit Nick's ankle which gave him a limp that remained with Nick during 1994. He then appeared in the cabin where Alice, Ziggy and Cindy were planning to end the curse, he axed Alice in the chest which killed her. Tommy was soon decapitated and stabbed by the Bermans but was brought back due to the curse where he was now undead.
During their attempt to stop the curse, Tommy was part of the group that was summoned to stop them with him killing Cindy by using his axe.
In 1994, Tommy was brought back by Satan where his target was that of Sam, he appeared in the forest where he ran past Josh in an attempt to get his victim. Later on, the Nightwing Killer was lured into Shadyside High by Deena and her friends (including Josh) where he was blown up and burnt alongside Ruby Lane and Ryan Torres who had been lured into the room, under the impression they were safe, Deena and the other three left the school. Tommy was soon revived once again, in their final confrontation in the second attempt to end the curse, Tommy, Ruby and Ryan were three of the killers sent to deal with the threat. Tommy's final victim was Simon where he used his axe to lodge it into his victim's head, his kill was witnessed by Josh.
On October 3rd, 1994, Tommy and the other killers were summoned to the mall to deal with Deena, Josh, Ziggy and Martin who were finally trying to end the curse. He was soon lured into one of the stores where the door was pulled down leaving him trapped, Once freed, Tommy and the others who were trapped turned on Nick where they began to kill him, once Nick died, Tommy's soul was put to rest and he vanished.

His victims include Heather and ten others, six of which were unnamed mall employees, a nurse named Stephanie, Nurse Beddy, Peter Brody and lastly Kate. After his murder of Heather, he was soon shot in the head and killed by Nick who appeared on the scene to act as a hero.
Ryan eventually began to target Deena, her then ex girlfriend and her brother with Deena thinking the guy under the mask was Peter however her theory was debunked when she went to confront Sam only for Ryan to show up and stab Peter in the back which killed him, he then chased after the two who then ran past the bodies of his other victims. Upon being blown up by Deena's plan, he soon came back to continue his spree.
On the night of October 2nd, 1994, Ryan returned where he was able to grab and pin down Kate where he then began to shove her towards a bread slicer that then sliced up her head. The next night, his soul is finally put to rest once Nick himself died to Deena where the curse ended, thus freeing Ryan.
