I haven't seen the remake and even though I am rather vocal about being tired of all the remakes (which I am), I am actually looking forward to seeing it.
The original kind of creeped me out when I was a kid (I was a wimp) but really, it isn't that great of a film. It is boring in spots and what the hell was up with Rod Steiger anyway? He just overacted his way through his part. That was some of the worst acting I have seen from a good actor ever. Well, except for Burton in Exorcist II.
But it has its bright spots. ;)
