Metal/Rock 'N Roll Songs In The 90s That Helped Push Horror & ScienceFiction Movies Of The Era To Their Limit

Escape From L.A. Is a great example of a movie whose soundtrack was so good that it made the movie even better! 

Each successive generation seems to have it's own type of music that teens just seem to absolutely love, and older people just seem to absolutely hate! Most of the time these types of music generally seem to gravitate toward some form of rock 'n roll music...

There was one form of rock music that seemed to heavily benefit for being apart of soundtracks in the 1990s, that being the, 'Metal' genre!

Now there are many great examples of this, but one of them that I thought that I would mention here is the soundtrack to, The Faculty (1998)!

The Faculty... One of the better teen horror/sci-fi movies of the 90s that was made even better due to the it's soundtrack!

There are some truly awesome metal heads/rockers that helped to form the awesomeness that is, 'The Faculty' soundtrack, including: "The Offspring', 'Creed', 'Soul Asylum' as well as, 'Class Of '99' and so many more! And out of them, there is some great music that came out of this soundtrack that for years after the movie still remained... And in some cases still does remain popular!

A couple of great examples of these are the two, 'Another Brick In The Wall' songs that were done by the one hit wonders, 'Class Of '99'! Another great example of this is the song, 'The Kids Aren't Alright', by: The Offspring!

And speaking of, 'The Kids Aren't Alright', this song, which came off of their album, 'Americana' is still to this day, one of the more popular songs that The Offspring has done from that era!

And another side of, 'The Offspring' that I thought that I would mention here, and which is the subject of the next movie that I thought that I would mention here, is the soundtrack to the movie, Idle Hands (1999).

A great soundtrack that made this movie even better then the awesomeness that it already has!

Now this movie had a lot of classic songs from a lot of amazing bands, but the one that I wanted to mention here, is Rob Zombie's 'Dragula'...

I know what you are thinking, why didn't I mention The Offspring's, 'I Wanna Be Sedated'... (And don't get me wrong, I do think this song has it's place as an influencer in this movie, just not the horror side...)

No, in this case, I thought that I would mention this song, because this song was a great song, and I feel like tonally, helped keep up the beat with the teen comedy side, as well as the horror side as well...

I will say that there are a lot more songs from that era that did their jobs admirably in how they influenced 90s horror, but these songs that I mentioned above, I do feel helped to push horror some of the best horror movies of the 90s to their limit!
