The 1990s may have released plenty of horror movies that were popular with mass audiences, but it is not remembered as one of the genre’s strongest decades. While many movies in the ’70s and ’80s pushed horror in new directions, the most successful horror films of the ’90s were either remakes (The Haunting), adaptations (Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Interview with a Vampire), and self-referential deconstructions of the genre (Scream). Only Blair Witch Project, at the end of the decade, gave mainstream audiences a taste of something a bit more unusual.

But away from the big hits, there were some fascinating movies during the decade that did take risks, delivered scares, and entertained in a way studio films did not. There were underrated efforts from some of the biggest horror directors of the past decades, some emerging voices who would form an important part in the development of the genre over the coming years, and impressive shockers from other parts of the world.

We went through the decade to find some of the best movies that you may have missed out on while you were skateboarding on a vert ramp or repeating lines from Clueless to your friends. So here’s 13 underrated ’90s horror movies well worth rediscovery.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is fast approaching, and you can be prepared to venture into the Old West by having it loaded and ready to go for launch. Rockstar has announced that pre-loading will begin on Friday, October 19 at 12 AM ET, or 9 PM PT on Thursday.

In the tweet announcing the pre-load timing, the studio also gave word that the launch trailer will debut on Thursday at 10 AM ET / 7 AM PT. That should be our last long look at the game before its launch next Friday, October 26. Rockstar is giving plenty of time for the pre-load, which makes sense given that it weighs in at a whopping 90 GB.

Pre-loading also means you pre-ordered, which will net you a cash bonus for the story mode, and some bonus GTA$ for Grand Theft Auto Online. Those who pre-ordered by July 31 will also get a treasure map for a head-start on making their fortune on the frontier. The physical editions come with a wide variety of bonuses, including physical items in the Special and Ultimate editions. A separate Collector’s Box, which doesn’t include the game, comes with a bunch of tchotchkes like a pin set, bandana, playing cards, and tithing box with lock and key. You can read more details in our pre-order guide.

It appears Rockstar has crafted a massive open world to explore, with no shortage of activities and detail. You can fish and hunt, your clothes will degrade, and dialogue will shift based on your personal hygiene. Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser estimates it has 500,000 lines of dialogue.

All that ambition appears to have come at a cost, though, as Houser also stated that the studio has had 100-hour work weeks to deliver on the promise. He later clarified that he was referring only to a few senior members of the team having intensive writing sessions, and that the studio doesn’t expect such long hours from its team as a whole.

Hal Jordan–one of the Green Lanterns of Sector 2814, which includes Earth in its jurisdiction–has made plenty of enemies during his time as a space cop like Sinestro, Relic, and Nekron to name a few. However, one particular thorn in Jordan’s side isn’t even a Green Lantern villain, he’s one of Superman’s: Cyborg Superman.

That’s right, the half-robotic Superman impostor from the Return of Superman story in the ’90s is back, closing out the Evil’s Might storyline, but this time, Jordan isn’t holding back, and Cyborg Superman doesn’t have the help of the Ravagers. And who better to bring back this character than the person that created him, Dan Jurgens?

In Green Lanterns #57, Cyborg Superman–once known as Hank Henshaw–returns to Coast City, the home of Hal Jordan. When Henshaw shows up, things tend to go awry for the inhabitants of the city. However, Jordan is around this time to stop Henshaw’s destruction, as you can see in the exclusive preview of the issue above.

This story continues the Evil’s Might story, where Henshaw battled the Green Lantern Corps across the universe. The villain found a way to hack into the Green Lantern Corps rings and he teamed up with the Ravagers for the fight. Now, it’s just Jordan and Henshaw in this final battle for Coast City.

Green Lanterns #57 is written by Dan Jurgens, drawn by Mike Perkins, colored by Hi-Fi, and features lettering by Dave Sharpe. You can get a copy of the issue for yourself digitally or at a local comic shop on Wednesday, October 17.

November is almost here, and that means Amazon Prime Video will have a ton of new movies and TV series for you to watch in your free time. On top of the traditional fair–movies and TV series–Amazon is also offering NFL games, streaming live on Thursday nights.

Easily the best movie coming to Amazon on November 1 is the 1985 classic Weird Science. In the John Hughes film, a couple of high school nerds use computer technology to create what they think is the perfect woman. Somehow, their creation comes to life, but she ends up making them better and more confident people. While the technology in the movie may not speak well to a younger, contemporary audience, the themes of fitting in and being cool still hold true today.

Speaking of coming-of-age movies, the 1991 feature My Girl is also headed to Amazon on November 1. Anna Chlumsky plays Vada, a young girl who is about to become a teenager and living with her widowed mortician father. She learns a bit about life and relationships with her friend Thomas, played by Macaulay Culkin. Sure, it’s more of a family drama, but there are still some fun, comedic moments that make this a classic flick.

If horror is your thing, there are a few solid choices for November. On November 1, Candyman: Day of the Dead, Hostel, and Child’s Play all arrive to Amazon. Yes, it’s a weak month for horror, but you may want to mark your calendars for November 15 when Season 3 of Syfy’s The Expanse hits Amazon, as it is a spectacular series.

GameStop refreshes its weekly deals each Wednesday. This week’s sale is now available, so you’ll find some good deals on all kinds of things, ranging from games and accessories to collectibles and apparel. And if you’re looking to unload some items, you just might get some bonus credit for trading them in this week. Let’s take a look at what’s in this week’s GameStop ad.

On the trading front, you’ll get $20 off of any new game or pre-order when you trade in select games; you can view the list here. You’ll get $5 extra credit for trading in any Switch game this week. Trade in a current-gen console, and you’ll receive $25 extra credit. And if you trade a current-gen system toward an Xbox One X, you’ll get up to $300 in credit.

PS4 owners who buy a PS4 Cloud Remote for media playback will also get a free 30-day trial of PlayStation Vue, Sony’s cable service for cord-cutters. For Xbox One owners, you can get select wireless controllers for $10 off this week.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 now available, you might be inspired to pick up some Call of Duty collectibles or apparel. It’s 20% off this week, as are most Overwatch collectibles. You’ll find t-shirts, hoodies, hats, socks, lanyards, backpacks, toys, statues, and all sorts of things you can wear or display on a shelf for either game.

In terms of game deals, it’s slim pickings this week, but to celebrate the start of the new NBA season, NBA 2K19 is on sale for $40–not bad, seeing as it’s only a month old. NHL 19 is also discounted to $40, and Burnout Paradise Remastered is on sale for $20.

That about does it for this week’s GameStop deals. For more of the week’s deals, check out what’s on sale at Best Buy and Amazon, as well as the digital stores for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Fortnite‘s version 6.10 update is now available, adding tournaments and a new vehicle alongside some bug fixes. As has become customary, though, Epic also used the opportunity to add some new skins that we’ll be seeing in the store, and they fit this month’s spooky Halloween theme nicely.

Fortnite Insider reports that the update added the Arachne and Spider Knight Legendary skins, Guan Yu Epic skin, and Onesie Rare skin. On top of that, it adds the Moonrise, Webbreaker, and Guandao pickaxes, Hatchling and Divine Dragon gliders, and the Long Legs, Spider Shield, and Loyal Shield back bling.

The update also adds the in-game tournaments feature, the first of which is going on now. It’s a Solo tourney appropriately named the Alpha Tournament, and lasts through October 21. A separate Friday Night Fortnite squad tournament will be going on this and every Friday through the end of November. Tournaments can earn you pins to show off your skills, and sometime in the future your pins could act as qualifiers for higher-tier tournaments.

The update also adds a new Quadcrusher vehicle, which comes with a snowplow-like attachment and a special boost ability. It’s a pretty hefty piece of machinery that seems engineered to cause destruction on the battlefield.
