Ready to get spooked?
1999 was 24 years ago.
As scary as that thought may be, the decade still gave us some of the best chilling (and funny) sci-fi flicks. We teamed back up with James Abraham of @90sanxiety to round up the best of the best when it comes to the decade’s out-of-this-world movies (with a sprinkling of some ’80s hits that deserve a spot on this list).
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll refuse to believe that the first Men in Black came out almost 30 years ago.
So pop your popcorn, put on your alien headband, and dive into James’ list below.
