You really seem to have a fondness for the good ol' days of 80's horror movies... and so do I. Nothing has topped the original Friday the 13th movies, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, etc. However, because they were already done and done well, it will never be that great again or as exciting, however, I do think the T.C.M. remake was really good and for a die hard Jason/Friday the 13th fan, I actually really liked the new Friday the 13th! Halloween was made into a great remake, by Rob Zombie, but the second?? HORRIBLE GARBAGE! He ruined it, like they ruined the original Halloween 3, Season of the Witch. Anyway, no remakes will probably ever be as good as the originals, especially the ones in the 80's. That was the best time. But, every now and then, one comes really close. :) Jeff Turner, I almost agree with you all the way. You really seem to have a fondness for the good ol’ days of 80’s horror movies… and so do I.

Platinum Dunes pisses on my childhood with every Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Nightmare on Elm St. it releases. Of course, I'm always lured to the theater to see these travesties because I have such fond memories of Freddy, Jason and Leather Face leaving me with truly awesome and entertaining nightmares. These new films are: 1) not scary in any meaningful way. 2) lack the charm the originals possessed. (The characters and dialogue in these movies are jaded and uninspired, though R. Lee Ermey is always a treat!) 3) get me to shell out six bucks with the futile hope of seeing one more installment of the franchises I used to love, come back to life in a way that is not crass and gimmicky. 4) I know they're not Platinum Dunes pictures, but the new Rob Zombie Halloweens... son of a bitch! Those wouldn't exist if it weren't for Michael Bay's meddling with something he knows and cares nothing about. 5) I'm going to see The Crazies, but I hate the way the makeup effects look on the people who turn crazy. It doesn't creep my out at all. It's overkill. Tim Olyphant is great and I'm sure he will bring the "you should care what happens to this character" to this film that most of these remakes lack. Ok, I'm not totally against horror and sci-fi remakes. I just want the producers, writers and directors to actually be fans of what they are remaking. When that is the case, you might still have a stinker on your hands, but there is more of a chance you won't feel like a sell out watching the turd. Predator and Robocop have a chance. Free Polanski and arrest Michael Bay, -Jeff Turner The San Antonio Current http://www.sacurrent.com/arts/mixxedmedia.asp This is traumatic for me to talk about, but here it goes…

I was a big fan of the series growing up. I really dig the idea of JEH as Freddy. I liked Robert Englund of course, but it got too hammy after a few installments. This could be cool without all the cheese. Might be the first decent horror remake. Though I kinda liked the Texas Chainsaw Massacre a little bit. I actually liked it.
