‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’ (2010)
The 2010 reboot of the iconic Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is on Netflix, but will be be gone on April 30. Directed by iconic music video director Samuel Bayer (Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit, My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade”), this reimagining of Freddie Krueger killing teens in their dreams stars Kyle Gallner, Rooney Mara, Katie Cassidy and Clancy Brown, among others. Jackie Earle Haley takes over the mantle of Krueger.
‘The Craft’
This 1996 flick has become a staple of ’90s horror, as it shows a group of teenage girls dabbling in witchcraft with disastrous results. The main draw here is the cast, which boasts a call list that includes Robin Tunney, Fairuza Balk, Neve Campbell, Rachel True and Skeet Ulrich.
‘Friday the 13th’ (2009)
Genre mainstay Marcus Nispel directed this reboot of the Friday the 13th franchise, which puts the action back at a summer camp. Killer Jason Voorhees (Derek Mears) stalks and slashes a slew of teens, as one would expect. Other cast members include Jared Padalecki, Danielle Panabaker, Aaron Yoo, Amanda Righetti and Travis Van Winkle.
‘Rosemary’s Baby’
Mia Farrow stars in one of the most iconic horror movies of all time, Rosemary’s Baby. For those unfamiliar with what happens, Farrow’s character gets pregnant soon starts to believe something is very, very wrong with the baby. What unfolds next has made the movie a must-see for lovers of the genre.
‘Scream 2’
Just after Scream turned the horror genre on its head, Wes Craven struck again with a sequel that many think is even better than the original. The super-meta slasher sees the return of franchise favorites David Arquette, Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and Jamie Kennedy, all while introducing Laurie Metcalf and Sarah Michelle Gellar in supporting roles.
‘Scream 3’
Scream 3 saw Craven try to achieve the trifecta of amazing horror flicks, but he had less stellar results this time around. While many cast members return, the story calls back and retcons some things in Scream, which is controversial to many. However, it’s still a piece of the franchise’s history, so fans should tune in if they want the full picture.
