With remakes it depends on their intention. For instance, rob Zombie is going to "reimagine" Halloween. However, are they going to leave it at that, or restart the series anew from the remake, making the other films pointless? Although i loved it, I'm the first to admit that Halloween:Resurrection was chaos, but it did give one thing to the makers of the next sequel: Myers' mask was burnt to his face. It could have been a new direction, making it a bit more gruesome, who knows?
I was a fan of TCM 2003, i'm a fan of many remakes, but only if they don't render an entire series of films obsolete.
What i don't want to see is what has happened to a non-horror series: Batman. The fourth film in the original series was terrible (although i love Arnold as Mr. Freeze) so they go back to the beginning. It could have been fine, except they mention the Joker at the end of the film thus rendering the first Batman useless!!!
So if you can derive a point from all that blather, its that i enjoy remakes that don't sacrifice a whole series in the name of saving a franchise.
Oh, and just as a side note, Freddy vs Jason is, in my opinion, one of the bext old school horror films to come out in a long time.
