Kori Adelson

Kori Adelson’s got a wild little portfolio, honestly. You might recognize the name from Spies in Disguise, that animated spy flick from 2019 with Will Smith—yeah, the one where a suave agent literally turns into a pigeon. Bonkers, but kind of a blast. Kori played a role in bringing all that feathered chaos to life, and the movie ended up being a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults who never really grew up (guilty as charged). But it doesn’t stop there. Kori also had a hand in the Fear Street trilogy—which, if you missed it, is basically Netflix’s love letter to old-school slasher horror. The first one, Fear Street: Part One – 1994, just drips with throwback vibes, dialing up the neon, the misfit teens, the gnarly murders. It’s R.L. Stine, but not the Goosebumps you remember—way bloodier, way bolder. Kori worked on this project too, giving the film some of that edge and nostalgia. Then there’s Fear Street: Part Three – 1666, where the story jumps back centuries. Think Puritan witch-hunt hysteria, curses, and a twisty plot that ties everything together. Kori’s involvement here helped stitch together a story that’s both creepy as hell and oddly emotional. It’s not easy to jump from slapstick spy pigeons to gory supernatural horror, but Kori’s credits show some real range. And in a world packed with cookie-cutter film folks, that’s something worth noticing.
