Go back and look at the horror releases that actually made it to theaters between '90 and '95, and you'll see what I mean.

I don't hate Scream; in fact, I like it quite a bit. I think the first two are well-made films and are actually very clever.....a little
too clever in some ways....it effected how other horror films were made and since Scream couldn't be replicated, we got hit with some crap. I mean, the movie was so self-aware that it came off as poking fun at the genre in some ways rather than as an homage, which I think it was intended to be. So I think it actually does fit on the list, as it was a very influential film, I just don't think that the influence was entirely positive.
