10 Great Teen Horror Movies (No One Ever Talks About)

10. The Town That Dreaded Sundown

Released in 2014, The Town That Dreaded Sundown went largely unnoticed by anyone other than horror film fans who were eagerly anticipating this update of the 1976 movie.

The original film is a classic seventies horror which provided the blueprint for countless slashers, with its masked killer, simple story, and dubious claim to a historical basis in fact. Sure, the film was based on a string of murders, but it's far from true to life, which is where this underrated remake comes in.

This witty and subversive re-do deserved more love. A clever meta-remix of the original, the film subverts expectations by setting the killings in a world where the original film not only exists, but is the backbone of this small town's thriving true crime tourism economy.

A sharp satire on a craze which has only grown in popularity since its release, this one surprisngly went under the radar despite the involvement of Glee creator Ryan Murphy, horror powerhouse Jason Blum, and the creators of teen drama Riverdale.
