Yet horror went mainstream in the '90s by speaking to the anxieties of American youth during one of the country's most prosperous eras. No longer were films made on low budgets and dependent on devotees for success. Horror found its way onto magazine covers, fashion ads and CD soundtrack covers. Girl power feminism and a growing distaste for consumerism defined an audience that both embraced and rejected the commercial appeal of these films. This in-depth study examines the youth subculture and politics of the era, focusing on such films as \u003ci\u003eBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), \u003ci\u003eScream\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), \u003ci\u003eI Know What You Did Last Summer\u003c\/i\u003e (1997), \u003ci\u003eIdle Hands\u003c\/i\u003e (1999) and \u003ci\u003eCherry Falls\u003c\/i\u003e (2000).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlexandra West\u003c\/b\u003e has written about genre films for \u003ci\u003eThe Toronto Star\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRue Morgue Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOffscreen Film Journal\u003c\/i\u003e.
