The \u201990s teen slasher cycle that exploded with the release of Scream <\/strong>feels alive and well here in 2025. The legacy sequel to 1997\u2019s I Know What You Did Last Summer<\/a><\/strong> arrives this July, and a reboot of Urban Legend <\/strong><\/a>was recently announced. Recent release Clown in a Cornfield<\/strong><\/a> features an opening sequence set in the \u201990s, and while upcoming teen slasher Fear Street: Prom Queen<\/strong><\/a> is technically set in 1988, it speaks to the continued and growing trend of teen horror, especially of the period variety.<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s streaming picks are dedicated to \u201990s teen horror that ventures beyond Scream and the popular horror that followed in its wake. They highlight teens in peril with \u201990s flair.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where to stream these five underseen \u201990s teen horror movies this week.<\/p>\n

Brainscan \u2013 Tubi<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Brainscan\"<\/p>\n

One of the earlier adapters of the killer video game concept,\u00a0Brainscan follows teen Michael (Edward Furlong), an outcast and horror fan who orders a new game touted to be ultra-realistic. Of course, he doesn\u2019t grasp how realistic it will ultimately be. The game sees him playing as a psychopathic killer, only he discovers those murders are actually happening in the real world too. It gets trippy and pure \u201890s horror, especially with the memorably wacky character The Trickster. Brainscan makes for a campy time capsule entry in teen horror.<\/p>\n

Campfire Tales \u2013 Hoopla, Peacock, Roku Channel<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Campfire<\/p>\n

This underseen \u201990s horror anthology feature was initially slated\u00a0for theatrical release before getting sent straight to VHS in 1997, arriving a year ahead of\u00a0Urban Legend. Why is that relevant? The anthology\u2019s segments\u00a0all\u00a0center around familiar urban legends, from retro classics like \u201cThe Hook\u201d to a contemporary, skin-crawling take on \u201cHumans Can Lick Too.\u201d\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0just not\u00a0the slickly directed and engaging twists on familiar tales that make this anthology so winsome, but a talented cast filled with recognizable talent\u00a0that includes\u00a0James Marsden, Ron Livingston, Christine Taylor, and more.<\/p>\n

Disturbing Behavior \u2013 Hoopla, MGM+, Pluto TV<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Disturbing<\/p>\n

Proving that it\u2019s best to let teens work through their angst of transitioning into adulthood, Disturbing Behavior demonstrates how horrifically awry it can get when adults attempt to modify unruly teen behavior. High school psychologist Dr. Edgar Caldicott orchestrates a unique program that reprograms its \u201cBlue Ribbon\u201d students, reshaping them into model citizens. The only problem is that it makes them dangerously aggressive at best and violently murderous at worst, in a Stepford Wives meets teen slasher setup. James Marsden and Katie Holmes lead the cast. The soundtrack and supporting performances by Nick Stahl and William Sadler make this a winsome entry in \u201890s teen horror.<\/p>\n

Dr. Giggles \u2013 AMC+, Fawesome, NightFlight+, Prime Video, Shudder<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Dr.<\/p>\n

Manny Coto\u2019s slasher comedy introduces Larry Drake (Dark Night of the Scarecrow,\u00a0Darkman) as the eponymous character, a murderous madman who escapes from a mental institution and fixates on a teen with a heart condition. It\u2019s the type of slasher that isn\u2019t afraid to let its characters get silly, as evidenced by Dr. Giggles\u2019 penchant for deranged giggle fits when committing murder. It\u2019s matched by fun kills with some great gore. The real reason to check out this zany \u201990s slasher, though, is star Larry Drake. The horror stalwart ensures his manic killer stands out among the crowded pantheon of slashers.<\/p>\n

Mirror Mirror \u2013 Arrow, Fawesome, Roku Channel<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Marina<\/p>\n

Directed and co-written by Marina Sargenti, the film follows teen goth Megan Gordon (Rainbow Harvest). Megan finds an antique mirror in the new home she\u2019s moved into with her widowed mother (Karen Black) and discovers it\u2019s inhabited by a dark force that grants wishes. Bullied by her new classmates, Megan becomes corrupted by the power the mirror gives her. Like Carrie,\u00a0Mirror, Mirror\u00a0gives another peek into the world of high school bullying. This time, though, there are demonic forces at play, and it\u2019s grounded by a budding sweet friendship between Megan and new friend Nikki. Look for \u201cThe Munsters\u201d star Yvonne De Carlo to make an appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201990s teen slasher cycle that exploded with the release of Scream feels alive and well here in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":96879,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[45283,45284,45285,45286,77,1123,45287,3943,37948,13803,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-96878","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-brainscan","9":"tag-campfire-tales","10":"tag-disturbing-behavior","11":"tag-dr-giggles","12":"tag-entertainment","13":"tag-featured","14":"tag-mirror-mirror","15":"tag-movies","16":"tag-stay-home-watch-horror","17":"tag-topnews","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114498137351875878","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96878","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96878"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96878\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/96879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96878"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96878"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96878"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
