To many, the 1990s is considered a relatively low profile era for the horror genre. Slasher films had become almost extinct, and CGI played a large part in turning away many gorehounds from their staple diet of blood and guts. Times were tough for the humble horror fan, endlessly searching for that next cult classic at the local video store.

Within this book the horror films of the 1990s are analyzed and documented fairly. Second Scream is a useful reference piece for the genre fan who wishes to rediscover those lost gems, from the decade that horror forgot.
