So, I recently read that one of my favorite 80s horror films is in the works to be remade.
I don't know about you but unless they are remaking shitty horror movies, like My Bloody Valentine, these horror remakes are TERRIBLE! Granted I haven't seen all of them but the ones I have seen based off good horror films have been bad.
Now they are wanting to remake Fright Night. If you havent seen this movie you should ashamed! Shameless fun, surprisingly good acting, and and all around great 80s horror/comedy movie!
It just breaks my heart and makes me ashamed to be alive when good movies get remade and the results are disheartening and down right ludicrous. If this movie gets made I still might see it and either be ok with it or hate it! There is no two ways around it with me when it comes to Fright Night.
So...what does everybody think about this? About modern remakes of 80s classics in general?
If you've never seen Fright Night try this on for size...The Karate Kid starring Jackie Chan and Will Smith's kid! If that doesn't strike fear into the hearts of millions I don't know what will!
Comment away fellow movie lovers and let me know what you think!

WTF! I hate remakes of older classics. i haven't seen many horor movies... but the Karate Kid remade no F...in way! those movies are classics and should stay that way. movie directors are running out of fresh ideas and it is getting pitiful what they do in their desperation to make money.
yeah, what she said.
Hey, knowing that this is a movie site. But, Dexter- on Showtime, the season 4 finally aired and it was a doozy of a "Holy Shit". Not wanting to give it away, watch it, give me thoughts. If that's alright with Chris?... Also, word on the grapevine is that Showtime just signed 2 more seasons with Dexter. Totally awsome!
Nolan- I haven't seen any episodes of the new season of Dexter but I always look forward to it. Glad to hear that the series hasn't lost any of it's punch with the new season. However, next summer when it comes out on DVD will be when I finally get to watch it, no showtime here. I am way psyched!!
