Haha number 2 was on TV the other day. I hadn't seen it since I was in grade school. As old as this movie is, I was surprised how good the puppetry was.

The 90s

Scream in particular did a lot of damage. A lot of horror films after that tried to copy it's formula, and it didn't really work since Scream itself was kinda a parody of horror/slasher films, and it got away with certain things because of how self aware it was, whereas later copies of Scream (I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc) tried the same approach while trying to be too serious, and as such, they didn't work so well.

(I tell my friends that Scream is a comedy. They never agree)

You could also say that by proxy Scream ruined the parody comedy genre, thanks to Scary Movie. Where we once had Hot Shots!, we now have Meet the Spartans.

What are you talking about? All "horror" films are comedy.

they're remaking Child's Play. Slashers did suck a lot out of the horror genre, as did Eli Roth. But I liked The Descent, The Ring, and The Orphanage. Three best horror films to come out in recent times.

Well considering most of you are either too manly or braindead to get more than just bored watching a horror movie...
