10 Best Horror Films of 1990
This is a year with some fantastic horror films and in many ways is the end of an era. It is very much like an extension of the 1980's, something that would be made painfully clear in the subsequent years. It could even be considered the last gasp of a time where practical effects were the only real option, an element quite significant in the world of horror. There are a wide variety of good films this time around, so this list was a challenging one to make. The best of the 1990's, a decade that would peak in its infancy.
