Hi Omen I respect your thoughts on what you said and if you read everything I have said about Godzilla you will I dont defend all his movies as I have posted that I really hate all of the 5 1970s Godzilla movies with a passion. It baffles me when people say they like Godzilla vs. Megalon 1973 as much as when people say they like TCM in 1974. I dont like either one of those movies and I think both are big let downs. Here is a list of Godzilla movies I think suck KingKong vs. Godzilla 1962 Godzilla vs. the Seamonster 1966 Son of Godzilla 1967 Godzillas Revenge 1969 Godzilla vs. Hedora 1971 Godzilla vs. Gigan 1972 Godzilla vs. Megalon 1973 Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 1974 Terror of MechaGodzilla 1975. I think the best quality horror movies were made in the 50s and 1960s and a few in the 1970s. Alot of Dracula fans will admit that Lee is a better Dracula than Bela this does not mean Dracula 1931 was a bad movie it just means Hammer made better Dracula movies. And Bram Stokers Dracula in 1992is down right AWESOME and that is a much much better made movie than Horor of Dracula in 1958. I like all 3 but I think Lee is a better Dracula and Cushing a better Vanhelsing. I am sure those who like Lon Chaney in the Wolfman 1941 will agree that the Howling 1981 is a better movie the Howling is my Fave Werewolf movie. But I still enjoy Chaneys the Wolfman. I am into film advancement and horror movies that are reaaly well made. I was not so suprprised to see on this boars that some fans hat remakes and those same fans love the 1931 Dracula and 1931 Frankenstien movies. I pointed out that those movies are remakes. I have not bashed those remakes at all. I remember when TCM was being remade there was talk that that would suck yet I think remakes are a good idea. What irks me is when people talk bad about a movie they have never seen that just tells me that person is a total moron. What I like are fans who ask about movies they have not seen and where they can see them. Old or new if a horror movie is good and I like it i will say it if I dont and others do I will ask why and if others ask me why I lik dislike it I will tell them my reasons. This does not mean I am bashing the movie I am just saying how I felt about it thats it. There are people back in 1977 who saw Starwars and said they hated it. I asked them why when everyone else seems to like it. They simply said they dont like movies about space. They didnt bash SW they just said how they felt about it and I can respect that. Now imagine a person bashing SW who never saw it. Yep thats a moron. Omen my thinking is that maybesome younger board members are to sensitive.

you keep saying that these old Dracula,Frankenstein wolfman ect. films are remakes but they aren't. Everytime a Dracula movie or Werewolf movie is made they're for the most part all different when we're talking about remakes we don't mean the ones where it has the same name and that's basicly it, we mean the remakes that are being done by people who aren't like the guys in the 70's and 80's those guys like Wes Craven,Sam Raimi,Bruce Cambell,John Carpenter ect. ect. they were broke and just wanted to make movies it wasn't all about the money it was about doing what they liked to do and doing it well. These days the people who get the assignment to remake those classic films most of the time don't even have history in horror for example i could be off a little but i can't recall his name at the moment but the guy who did the texas chainsaw remake hadn't even directed anything but music videos before he was given the job. The point is the guys back in the 70's and 80's had a passion to make movies and make them well and that's what they did,the people that get the job to remake them don't want to do anything but make money.
