...and it's a disgrace for the genre that nobody in reality dared to do that yet! [:D]

A movie with a plot hole or even a bad/weak ending may needs a 'remake' but a good movie or a popular one amongst its target audience doesn't need to be remade. So in that point more or less all remakes so far came out were actually unnecessary. But who cares? still remakes of popular, acclaimed or successful old school and foreign horror films are being made or in progress to be come out as a 'secure' money making venture and we also see them eventually to 'judge' how pointless/bad or 'surprisingly good' the effort was.

Anyway, according to Chrono's classification/definition my list would be...

The Grudge - Okay.
My Bloody Valentine 3D - Okay, I think the original is the better one.

humm, I love [REC.] ..I watched Quarantine once with a solid disrespect from the very beginning of the movie..I guess I need to give it a watch again.
House on Haunted Hill - Okay.
Wizard of Gore - Haven't seen the original yet, but as a movie it's an interesting one.
Willard - GOOD. Haven't seen the original but love this version anyway.

Thirteen Ghosts - Okay.
House of Wax - As a modern horror film it's okay but definitely needed a different title for sure. As a remake of Price's version...it's a disgrace.

...Agree.
Halloween - Very daring! As a Rob Zombie film, it's a masterpiece! But as a remake of 78's slasher sensation it's surely unnecessary.
Dawn of the Dead - Same as House of Wax. It'd better if it had a different title...like Mall of the Dead or something like that.:)

Friday the 13th - Unnecessary but 'stupendous'!
King Kong - Good.
Godzilla - Okay.
Planet of the Apes - Haven't fully seen neither the original nor the remake. With due respect to Zero, I need to say that personally I hate monkey people.
The Wickerman - Utterly unnecessary.
Psycho - It was a serious Sin. Crime of the century.
The Hitcher - Poor effort resulting unnecessary.
The Haunting - Utterly unnecessary.
The Fog - Unnecessary.

The Thing - Same as Willard. One of the greatest for all time.
The Ring - Okay.
The Fly - Liked the original more. Only one reason is enough...the original has Vincent Price...the remake doesn't.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - My guilty pleasure. An absolute blast for me. 3 years ago..this is the movie that made me become a regular horror movie viewer. Dragged me into the genre. Pretty grateful to it.
The Hills have eyes - Good.
Mirrors - Unnecessary.
Uninvited (A Tale of two sisters remake) - Okay.
When A Stranger Calls - Lame effort. Unnecessary.
2001 Maniacs - Haven't seen the original yet, but as a film I enjoyed it.
