I agree 100 percent, errorinxcelence. This applies not just to horror, but all movies (I remember hearing about a remake of Casablanca. WTF!?!?)

But horror does particularly seem to be taking the brunt of this, which is especially disappointing because the genre lends itself so well to creativity and there is still a lot of potential out there for people to make new ORIGINAL movies.

If Hollywood wants these movies back in theaters, fine. I would have LOVED to have seen TCM re-released the same way Excorcist was a couple of years ago. If you have new footage you want to add to the flick that you think adds something to it, fine. I would also love to see a re-release of Dawn of the Dead instead of a remaking.

When a movie is so great, what's the point in trying to remake it?
