In the 80's Teen Horror movies were just slashers with not much of a plot line other than a gory killing spree. At the time this was all the rage but it soon died down when the 90's came around no one really cared for characters like Freddy, Jason, Michael or Leatherface anymore; they wanted something that scared them again.
In 1996 however Wes Craven (the mastermind behind A Nightmare On Elm Street) revived the teen horror genre with smash hit movie Scream and followed it up with Scream 2 (1997) and 3 (2000). After Scream teen horror suddenly came back into fashion in "the noughties"with films such as Final Destiantion (2000) and Freddy vs Jason (2003). Freddy vs Jason was the first ever horror movie to involve two villain characters from a seperate horror film series in the same movie fighting each other.
The noughties was very popular for horror remakes or reboots, A good example of a remake would be the 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a prequel Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006). Other classic slashers to make a comeback to the big screen would be Halloween (2007) and Friday The 13th (2009).
