Best Horror Movies
The decade of 90s was not good with horror movies.Too many sequels,too many remakes and too many slasher movies.
While 80s enjoyed the success of low budget slasher movies,90s panned it.Though Wes Craven's Scream was an exception.
There are very few horror movies from the 90s that remains in mind forever.
