When Hell freezes over...
 

What's the one horror movie you'd just kill for them NOT to remake it. The one you'd want them never to try again.

Mine would be The Shining (yes, I know, but the T.V. version doesn't count...) or An American Werewolf In London.

THE SHINING!!!!
loooooooooooooooooool

em down with you on that one.

oh and IT'

'stubborn steps into the shadow':D

I like the tv version of the shinning better..yeah you read right.

It matches the book PERFECTLY.

I'll say the Shining, they probably will remake it though.

WHAT!? :eek: :mad:

Anyway, I really hope we never see an Americanized version of Audition. Since it's already a little older, there's probably not much chance of it, thankfully.

You know, there's not a movie I hold sacred enough to not be able to stomache a remake EXCEPT maybe The Exorcist. I don't know how they could do it, but you can bet your sweet bippies that somewhere in film-land somebody is pondering what I'm pondering...and they disagree with me.

Personally, and I've said this before, I think a remake of The Thing and Rosemary's Baby would be in order. With the visual abilities they have today, they could really spruce The Thing, and with the share of more actresses we sure as hell could get a better main character than Mia-fucking-Farrow. (Not to mention that our conceptualization of the Devil has matured)

"Freaks" could never be redone... ever.

NO....Don't touch The Thing. It would be done with crappy CGI, and i won't stand for that.

-The Abominable Dr. Phibes

-Theatre of Blood

Halloween its perfect and should not be messed up by a remake!

Suspiria.

AND OF COURSE.....FRIGHT NIGHT ;)

- The Exorcist

- The Omen

-The Shining

If any director touches these movies, I'll kick their asses!

I liked the TV Shining better too, not that the other one was bad by ANY means but it was just so much closer to the book. Anyway, I know they're supposed to remake Evil Dead and I've come to terms with that but I REALLY don't want them to remake Army of Darkness.

Well, now that I've seen the new KING KONG, I really wish they hadn't made it. Thought it was awful! The script could have been a lot better than what they went with. Jack Black was terribly miscast. Movie is too long, even though it looks great with fantastic effects.

It did feature lots of monsters, which generally speaking were very well done and scary. But I thought the movie was a poo poo. Sorry, Peter Jackson! Lord of the Rings was far, far better IMO.

Finally..!!somebody who speaks my veiws on this ..to the tee..

long and drawn out..
joe black...oh why lord

Jack, not Joe

Okay okay okay! Relax. No remake. I see your point. CGI thing...bad. Honestly I wasn't even thinking cgi, but... shit I don't know.

You kinda hit on a point, though, Newb.... When I was little I wanted to be a makeup artist (still might try), but today, they don't use as many creaters and artists because it's all done by computer. I mean movies look more "real," but some of the magic is gone.


Although I will say that zombies have evolved nicely.

LOL..
well excuse me .
humble apology
will never do it again ..


oh and btw

I think "IT" could do with a proper film version. If Tim Curry would still play Pennywise, it could be great

I agree with you on that one. But, if Tim Curry doesn't play Pennywise, then the movie wouldn't have anything going for it and I'd probably take a shit on it! :p

There's only one movie I want to remake for all the right reasons (and have half the script written already). If it ain't broke though, don't fix it.

hmm, by The Thing do you all mean the 1951 original - or the Carpenter remake??

my pick would the The Silence of the Lambs - i can see hollywood wanting to remake it at some point - with kirsten dunst and vince vaughn as clarice and hannibal - and maybe ashton kutcher could play buffalo bill. . .

oooh, good one! It's only a matter of time, but you just can't do that one the way it was meant to be again. Ever.

Great point.

First: Neither... I hear Newb's pleas (threats) and I aquiesce.

Second... I would march on Hollywood with a thousand raging horror fanatics strong to stomp the shit outta someone. Mark Silence of the Lambs up there with my sacred Exorcist.

I dont mind remakes at all..ever. You just need to seperate the two movies, if it means that much to you it should be even easier to remember they are two different movies. I never understood the whole art-fag mentality surrounding remakes. Its really not as bad or serious as you might think.

lol - i can see the angry mob now :D

poltergeist and nightmare 1 should not be touched both of them were wonderful and even though some great new visuals could be done with both of them, any higher tech would ruin them.

House of the Dead

Good points...but they still better not touch suspiria or fright night;) :p

LOL. Well, okay...maybe "Fright Night" didn't make a huge impact...but it's my faaaaaaavorite:D Therefore, everyone's grubby fingers better stay away from it. :p

Very true...or Chris Sarandon...RAWWWWWR ;):p

Nosferatu

Se7en

Haven't they already sorta kinda made a sorta kinda remake of Nosferatu? I think most people thought it was stupid too.

Moonlit, what's ol' Chris up to these days? I haven't seen him in many films.

Kairo

I saw him in a pretty bad murder-mystery type flick not too long ago. The Reaper, it was called. It was bacically a rip-off of Stephen King's tormented author stories.

You're kidding about Kairo right? Because it's already being remade, with the girl from Veronica Mars. I hope you were kidding because if not you're now dissapointed and won't go see "Pulse".

-Halloween

-Nightmare On Elm Street

That's more than one..... But I thought both of these were great movies.

How about Jaws?

Psycho shouldn't have been remade...I refuse to see the Vince Vaugh version.

No one should have touched that. Fucking stuck-up bastards.
