The Slasher Revival of the late 90's/2000's
Slasher movies peaked in the 1980's following the runaway success of franchises like 'Friday the 13th' and 'A Nightmare on Elm St'. After hundreds of titles dominated theaters, video stores, and television, the slasher genre declined until Wes Craven's 1996 'Scream' revived the genre for a new generation of horror fans. These are the new-age slashers of the late 90's and new millennium.
