These ghosts of Asian girls start crawling out of electronics, but here's the part that will scare the shit out of you, they'll have hair over their face and walk weird with a lot of editing cuts to make them seem more twitchy and corpsy.

Yes true these are ghost movies but not done how i would think with pure evil amityville comes close but i think the genre can be done better tis all i am saying .

The Genre of Horror, in general, is pretty much lost. They can't do better, and they won't do better. Keep to the classics, they are much more superior.

I don't agree VampiricClown. Not everything has been done. As far as classic monsters go, yeah, the lore and legend has been rehashed to death. But we just need some new lore and legend, with new creative ideas and good execution (pardon the pun).

I do agree that there are great classic horror films, and the films that take the same stories to the next level with regard to technology can be pretty cool. Like the Underworld series of films. The whole vampire/werewolf theme is pretty neat with the new visuals and effects. Even Van Helsing was a cool film.

The filmmakers are trying to appeal to the a younger audience, and reintroducing the classic monsters in new ways. There must be someone out there with some new ideas. The only problem is getting a suitable budget, writing, direction and acting to make the thing effective.

I mean, look at Terminator, while not really a "horror" film it was a pretty fresh idea at the time. Look at all the scientific experimentation that's going on in the real world... implanting human cells on a mouse and creating a human ear growth. That's some pretty wacky stuff. There could be some cool films made along the lines of just how far science can go.

I believe the best is still to come. It might take lots of flops before it, but there will be an original horror classic in the future. Besides, there is nothing as good as seeing a great horror movie for the first time. No matter how many times you watch the oldies you can't get that fresh, what's behind the next turn feeling by watching a new one.

Do we need to see all of them? The old ones don't come up on the radar unless you're looking for them. Newer audiences are still prompted by TV, web and other forms of advertising to promote the current cinema offerings.

I've seen my share of werewolf movies, and only a few stand out as worthwhile. The Wolfen series was overdone, the Howling series was an overdone flop, but the cool takes on that genre were memorable and effective, like my fav American Werewolf in London. The new Underworld films are cool too, as I've mentioned. I could watch and appreciate another werewolf flick if it is done right, with a different angle and good effects.

Good rehashes of old ideas can happen, and I still think there is plenty on the horizon. As society evolves so will our ideas of horror and monsters.
