10 Best 90s Teen Horror Movies You Need To Watch

3. Dr. Giggles

Urban Legend
Warner Bros.

One of the less well-known slasher films on this list, Dr Giggles stars Larry Drake as serial killer Evan 'Doctor Giggles' Rendell.

Escaping from a mental institution, the mad doctor returns to his old childhood town, seeking revenge on the behalf of his also-murderous father. In his sights: teenage Jennifer (Holly Marie Combs) and her friends, who cross paths with the bad doctor after breaking into his home for kicks.

Doctor Giggles (so named for his horrible laugh) may not have hit the big leagues like Freddy, Jason and Michael, but Manny Coto's black comedy slasher film is up there with the very best of them.

Featuring some grisly gore gags and a delightfully over-the-top lead performance from Larry Drake, it's a great work of 90s slasher schlock. Best paired with Brian Yuzna's The Dentist for top-notch clinical scares. You'll never look at your GP in quite the same way again.
