Hello Friends and welcome to my 31 Days of Halloween. Today I’m listing 6 binge-worthy horror movies from the 90’s.

’90s Horror Movies

As we moved into the 90’s, horror movies changed, and they reflected everything we were obsessed about, and what scared us. We began to make fun of it’s 80’s predecessor with phrases like … “I’ll Be Right Back” [because we know you’ll never be back].

By now most people were desensitized to the violence on television and movies because it was a part of everyday life. Slasher movies were more comedy than horror, and then along came Scream by Wes Craven.

This movie single-handedly breathed life back into the classic slasher flick and changed the way we view horror movies. With more jump scares and a variety of inventive kills this decade would go on to influence the 2000’s.

So here is my list of 90’s binge-worthy horror movies.
