Brace Yourself: Here Come The Horror Remakes!

[ImmortalSidneyP]

I would actually welcome the return of Gremlins, but why does it need to be a remake instead of a sequel? Gizmo can still be in it, and could even still be relatively young, since I don't recall anyone ever specifying how fast Mogwais age.

Although I don't mind a remake of the Creature from The Black Lagoon as it is a favorite of mine I cringed when you said Channing Tatum. God I will go nuts if he's in it! Can't stand him and his thuggish acting!!! :slasher:

Great article. I personally welcome a Pet Semetery remake, I think if done right it could be a blast. But then again, I'm some one who liked The Omen remake.

They can remake The Creature From The Black Lagoon, but none of the others should be made.

I hope that Monster Squad remake doesn't happen. I don't think it would feel the same set in today's times and not the 80s.

Well as bloody disgusting had mentioned before,  the original well always be there, a remake will always be judged but that just makes us horror fans like us alot more appreciative of the original despite at many times when a original movie first comes out judging soon follows until it becomes a cult classic, it does suck to see remakes but can remakes ever replace the original many times no but then they are those which do succeed, all I can do is see all the remakes judge them and continue to admire the original as it had always been, my point f%#& it you may never know but I would really like to see some actor even come close to portaying bale as Patrick. That's just hollywood being Hollywood no more new ideas, remakes will always be on the horizon, but can they ever really change our minds to follow the new as a "true original" hell no......

The remake grab bag is still full apparently.

Let's see...we still have Christine, The Wraith, Basket Case, Tourist Trap (I'd like to remake that myself, but indie style) Westworld, Silent Rage.......

Before you know it, they will start remaking TV movies.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Dont Be Afraid of the Dark was a TV movie. Im sure there are more as well.

The thing about remakes (in some cases) is that sometimes it seems like Hollywood is just using the name of an original, well because it's familiar. They may take snippets of the original but from what I have seen they can pretty much just make an entirely new movie and not use the same name. Of course this can't work with all movies such as the popular franchises (Jason, Freddy, Myers) - in those instances, just DON'T remake them or create your own character! They won't do this because there is money to be made and despite the cries of the fans (myself included) most will go and watch anyway or they'll just bring in an entire generation of newbs. Either way, they're going to make it.... but why Evil Dead!!! :-(
