Horror films in the 1990s have routinely defied definition. Many
critics and fans have referred to the 1990s as the decade that
horror forgot with few notable entries in the genre. However,
horror did exist in the 1990s and it went mainstream by targeting
the fears and anxieties of teenagers. No longer were horror films
made for the lowest budget, in the shortest period of time,
dependent on genre fans to consume them, they were the focus of
film industry, making careers and big office returns. The films of
this era are indebted to auteurs, studios, the young audiences who
consumed them and the culture around them. Horror no longer existed
in a vacuum, it was on the cover of magazines, in fashion ads and
on well worn CD sound tracks. The rise of Third Wave feminism, and
its more consumable Girl Power form, influenced these films as did
the slow death of the American Dream marking them as a complex
entry into teen culture that both embraced its commercial qualities
and rejected them at the same time. This book provides an in-depth
study of the American youth market in the 1990s as well as the
America's history and politics, focusing on such films as Buffy the
Vampire Slayer (1992), Scream (1996), I Know What You Did Last
Summer (1997), Idle Hands (1999) and Cherry Falls (2000) among
others. These films speak to the fears and anxieties of American
youth during one of its most prosperous eras.
