A Fright Night remake? Crom!!!!


And that's not a happy cry.

Great Hera! Now there is a possibility for a Fright Night remake. Are they smoking cheap crack? You can’t remake Fright Night, it is a classic, it’s perfect the way it is! I don’t know about y’all, but the horror remakes have been a mess. There’s nothing new or truly exciting about any of them and they love to cast the “90210” look-alikes in the roles.

I beg of them to NOT do this. Why would this studio want to remake this movie? And are we over saturated with vampires already?

We have Twilight’s mess, True Blood, the straight to DVD flicks, CW’s future cancellation, The Vampire Diaries, and the horrific Underworld series. The only vampire event that should come out is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but back to the matter at hand.

Fright Night should not be remade. The characters are great, the actors were superb and the story was simple and fun. If this movie is remade, then we will have some Megan Fox-like girl playing Amy, someone from Gossip Girl boy as Charlie, and unknown Emo kid for Evil Ed.

Then Christopher Sarandon’s role…Can’t be done! He owns that character; I can’t imagine someone else in this role and finally Peter Vincent…Again, I can’t see anyone doing this role as well as Roddy McDowall. If this has to be done then continue the story; bring back Charlie and Amy and maybe their kid who has taken a high responsibility in demon hunting. Bring back Evil Ed and his minions, in other words, MAKE A NEW STORY!

These remakes gives me gas!

I agree. It would be very hard to remake this and have it be good. I love "Fright Night" just the way it is. Last month I had a "Fright Night" Pizza Night. Friends come over for pizza and a movie. We all loved it.

There are no such things as classics anymore. It is now only fodder for a remake , reboot, update, etc...
