>What happened to good horror films? 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.
