CANDYMAN
This racially tinged gorefest is a standout horror film of the 1990s, and one of the best Clive Barker adaptations to date
The Undying Horror of the Refrigerator!
In the lexicon of household appliances the refrigerator is King Kong and Godzilla put together
Tony Scott is Dead

WOLF
For those wondering why nineties horror generally gets such a bad rap, consider this Exhibit #1
