REMAKES..SCHREEMAKES!!!

I know that MANY production companies right now are working on remakes of classic HORROR films. My question is WHY? We ALL loved the originals, so why remake them? WE all know Friday the 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street are in the midst of a MAKEOVER, but it kinda saddens me to see that it has come to this. Rob Zombie released his version of Halloween and it was alot different from the original.
Did I like it? Yes... Does it hold a candle to the original? NO.
I like the suspense in the original film as opposed to the IN-YOUR-FACE thrills of the Zombie version. Don't get me wrong, I like a great in your face horror movie, but to compare that to the great suspense of the original just doesn't work.
But if I have to choose between the two the ORIGINAL would be my fave.

Now this would be the same with the Friday the 13th and NIGHTMARE remakes to come.
I hear that Freddy WILL NOT be played by Robert Englund--HOW DARE THEY! There is NO ONE else that can do FREDDY like ENGLUND does FREDDY!!!
I WILL see the remakes, but I think that I will still like the originals better. There's just nothing like popping in a horror flick from the 70's or 80's on a weekend night. It's just nostalgic to me I guess.

I read once that Sam Raimi was thinking of giving new directors a shot at making their own versions of EVIL DEAD....WHAT THE F**K?!!!! Do you really think that Bruce Campbell's fans would like to see SOMEONE else play the part of ASH??? That's just SACRILEGE!

So film companies gave us sequels, and that's just fine....But then they started with PREQUELS....ok? I can do a prequel---...you know, learn about my fave character BEFORE they became the bloodthirsty beast they are today. BUT REMAKES? I have to draw the line there.
There are so many talented writers out there that have to have some ORIGINAL stories to tell.

Well now that I've vented, I'm going to check out what the "NEW" JASON looks like from stills taken during production of the new FRIDAY THE 13th.
