There are no more original ideas…

I loved all of these movies originally and I still drag them out and watch them on a regular basis. I’m not opposed to seeing them redone. I’m not holding out too much hope that they’ll be anything other than video store fodder though. I would much prefer to see an “Original Idea” come out of Hollywood though, at least on an occasion. Has the entire writing scene just run completely out of ideas? If so, FIRE THEM! Hire someone fresh and young that hasn’t been beaten into submission yet.
Again, not opposed to the remakes, I would just really like to see something truly “NEW” for a change.

Hold on tight ‘Wolf’, there’s already a remake of the Creature (besides this one) in the works over at Universal.

What a waste. The only one that hasn’t already been butchered by schlockywood in the last decade is “The Creature From The Black Lagoon”…..still my personal favorite.

Thanks for the heads up Ken, I also have that feeling.
While it will be nice to have new horror films let’s be clear, you can regenerate, resurrect, rebel and rebirth Universals classics all they want you will not get Lon, Bela, Boris’s performances, you won’t capture it again, it’s gone.
You can CG until Microsoft puts out a new OS, (which is VERY scary).
Dracula should never had the stake pulled from his heart. Vampire movies are a dime a dozen. Brendan’s franchise showed us that it was time to weld that sarcophagus shut. Werewolves have been done to undeath, seriously ‘Werewolfs in Outer Space??? Kinda reminds me of Rob Zombie’s Werewolf Women of the SS song title hahaha. And if Ms Shelley was still among us I can see her having a most uncreative nightmare over this latest patch job.
Bringing the characters back okay, but don’t promote them as remakes, they aren’t and never will be no matter what FMoF thinks. Poor Forry I don’t think he’d be impressed.
So resurrect them, rebirth them, regenerate them what ever and we’ll have 5 new horror films.
We won’t have Universal’s classics in anyway shape or form sorry.
