## Summary

A retrospective argues that 1990s horror produced ten films that are consistently strong from beginning to end. It credits the decade’s mix of prestigious, commercially successful and experimental work with giving horror more original and lasting films after the sequel-heavy trends of the 1980s.

The article highlights *Candyman* for its scares and themes of gentrification, *The Blair Witch Project* for its realism and influence on found-footage horror, and *Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me* for its surreal, emotionally difficult story. It notes that *The Blair Witch Project* earned hundreds of millions of dollars on a budget under $1 million, while *Fire Walk With Me* was controversial on release but later gained appreciation.
