The horror genre is indebted to teenagers, especially slashers. For decades, slashers have delighted audiences with scenes of teens being massacred in every way, shape and form. Still, for the most part, slashers are aimed at adult audiences who see the teens as dumb and deserving of punishment rather than people they identify with. Even outside of the slasher genre, horror tends to be either for kids or for adults, with a few movies for young teens here and there. The YA demographic, however, is sorely misrepresented, forced to either see movies dumbed down for younger audiences or ones that treat them like kids.
