15 horror movies turning 30 this year!

It's truly surreal to think that the year 1990 was officially 30 years ago. I think I'm speaking for most people in saying whenever somebody mentions something being "30 years ago." I often think that's like 1984 or 1985. NOT 1990! Man oh man! Still, I decided to highlight 15 killer horror films from that year that have 30th birthdays this year!

After being bitten by one of the creatures, he discovers he's innocent and that his psychiatrist has been the one committing all of the local murders, with the intent on framing him.
