Decline of Horror
No doubt in my mind that the 90's was a bad decade for horror movies. Looking at my collection of videos and DVD's almost all of my horror movies especially the scariest were from the 70's and 80's.
The 90's horror films especially since 1994 or 1995 onwards seemed to be obsessed with producing crappy teen horror movies like Final Destination and Scream 2 and 3 and I know what you did last summer and not classically scary movies.
These movies seem to me to be more about jokes than horror. But hopefully this decade looks to be shaping up a bit better with genuienly scary movies like The Ring (American Version) and the remake of Texas Chainsaw.
PS. The Scary Movies seemed to sum up just how ridiculous the 90's were in terms of horror.
