The Classic ’90s Horror Movies That Gave Us Nightmares

As a kid, anything slightly scary can give you the heebie-jeebies, but there were some especially creepy movies back in the '90s that had us hiding under our covers.

'90s horror movies certainly had their own vibe. It was an era of crazy suspense with just enough scares and gore to terrify you, but still make you want to see more. They also usually starred the latest teen heartthrobs and "cool" kids.

We'd scan through the aisles of the nearest Blockbuster on a Friday night until we found a copy of the latest thriller. Then we'd tell ourselves we could handle it and that "it won't be that scary." Clearly, we were wrong as some of these images are still seared in our brains. Like the crazy opening scene in Scream where Casey Becker (Drew Barrymore) is terrorized over the phone by Ghostface.

How did we even watch some of these movies as kids!? I guess parental controls weren't really a thing back then if your parents weren't around to monitor. Or maybe they just thought we could handle it.
