Further Remake Misery

AARRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My favourite horror franchise is being "remade".

Nightmare on Elm Street is next for the Hollywood update treatment it seems.

What fond memories I have of watching this with the curtains drawn when we were on GCSE study leave and Sky Movies was new...those were the days.

To show they are not starved for ideas they are going to be remaking Friday the 13th as well.

thats out. Along with halloween (admittedly done by rob zombie). To me its not just the remakes that hurt its the books and games that get bastardised for stupidville. Fighting game storylines dont get much more simple how can you cock it? Give me back street fighter you bastards! *weep openly and fall to the ground planet of the apes style*

Why do people get upset about remakes? They're almost invariably crap, and are soon forgotten (Wicker Man anyone?). It's not like you have to watch the remakes or are prevented from watching the original.

Plus Hollywood remakes are hardly new. The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart was the third version of the movie filmed. Smile
