10 Best 90s Teen Horror Movies You Need To Watch
10. Urban Legend
The very best of the 90s Scream rip-offs, Urban Legend takes its inspiration from, uh, urban legends. Set on an American college campus and featuring a hooded serial killer who uses hokey old urban legends to kill their victims, it's a great murder mystery and gnarly teen slasher flick.
Its cast is stacked too, featuring a baby-faced Jared Leto, Joshua Jackson, Michael Rosenbaum and more. Horror fans with a keen eye will also note the presence of Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Brad Dourif (Child's Play) and budding Scream Queen Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, and with so many more great horror films to come in the following years).
Cribbing the Scream template without being completely beholden to it, the film stands firmly on its own two feet thanks to the cast's performances (yes, even Leto), its compelling whodunnit plot, and the creative kill sequences.
Rosenbaum may be best known for his time on Smallville, but we'll always remember him as the poor schmuck who dies guzzling down a bottle of bleach in the bathroom.
