By the way, if anybody is wondering why I posted this, because I have a persuasive essay and I would like horror fans to contribute their ideas.
Also, if there is another thread about this, please inform me, because I could not find one.

Night of the living dead - I really liked this one, but I think that was because Romero actually Like it

The Ring- Remanke of a Japanese horror film called Ringu. I like the ring because it was spooky and different

Texas Chainsaw Massacre- LOVED the remake. It was originally supposed to be another sequal but producers didnt think audiences would want another TCM "sequel" so the just called it a remake.

House on Haunted Hill- Loved this one too. Great atmosphere combined with some Manson music and spiffy effects. And lets face it, Famke Jannsen is incredible

13 Ghosts- Didnt care much for this one. I thought the glasses thing was a bit far fetched

Godzilla (was considered horror in the 60's)- Mathew Broderick vs a giant lizard. Uh-uh

Numerous Dracula and Frankenstein remakes. Some are good, others not


Thats all I can think of. Evis, Arioch or ProPain should know more

the haunting was re-made also-not very good re-make - the original is way better.

Village of the damned that on was pritty good, Freaks it was call she-freak and it was crap, the Thing was brill.

Thank you
 

Greatest remakes:

"The Thing"

"Night Of The Living Dead"

"The Blob"

"The Fly"


Shitty remakes aren't even worth mentioning.

The "Night of the Living Dead" remake (Directed By Tom Savini)
Was one of the greatest zombie movie remakes but i still havent seen the "Dawn of the Dead" remake *sigh*

Remake....
 

Dawn of the Dead - remade but is totally different from the original. The original is a classic and fantastic film. The remake is very hollywood. They should not have used the Dawn of the Dead name. The only similarity is the setting of a mall. The zombies move fast, unlike Romero zombies, and some parts are a bit far fetched, like the zombie baby. Generally a good movie, but with the title it has was expecting something much better.

Hope that helps - sounds like an interesting essay.

"Psycho"...I liked the original better...
