Those Zombie versions were awful, they looked like some weird game or music video.

the murder scene in "Psycho" with the high, discordant, violin tones while the cinematographer shoots with various angles, close-ups, freeze frames, and other techniques were utterly unique and innovative at the time and still manage to create a strange beauty to the scene, as horrifying as it is. It was a purely cinematic art that novels, television, and other mediums could not duplicate.

Creating explanations for Michael Myers’ evil is not only “pulling back the curtain,” it runs entirely counter to the entire point. He’s supposed to be the embodiment of evil, a supernatural force. There is no explanation for him. Carpenter intended it to be, in part, a very simple metaphor for evil in life - it can’t be reasoned with or killed. The fact that the neighborhood of Haddonfield is completely normal is exactly what makes it all work; everyone is innocent, minding their own business, while evil has arrived among them. They’re not responsible for bringing it there, either. We can relate because we’re ultimately aware that no matter how careful or good we are, we too will encounter evil, which is the nature of life itself. The fact that Zombie’s film had Loomis actually apologizing to Michael for “failing” him was a sacrilege!

Chris Alo, thank you! I fully agree about Michael Myers. The 1978 original was terrifying because this kid murders his sister for no reason at all and then 15 years later, breaks out of the asylum and goes on killing spree. No rhyme, no reason. THAT is scary to me. If you give him another sister or some other kind of backstory about a weird cult, it f*cks everything.

The Thing was one of the greatest remakes ever. So was the first Invasion of the Bodysnatchers remake. The first Black Christmas remake was terrible, didn't bother with the later version. The Suspiria remake was long and very different but I thought it was good.

The later version of black Christmas is probably the worst sequel ever made. It has nothing to do with the first black Christmas, first of all. Secondly, it’s woke nonsense. The bad guy(s) are all male misogynists at college in a cult of sorts who are hypnotized into becoming killers who target women. So, people are lurking around dressed up like the killers in scream and you realize it’s actually a bunch of killers not one. And the leader of the bad guys is a college professor who sounds like a caricature of Elliot Rodgers (at he serial killer who killed a bunch of people because women rejected him) if he instead found a cult and was teaching people how to be like him. And then all the women become empowered and take on the cult. Feminists in college probably thought it was a great idea, but it comes across as a caricature of male misogyny that is so obvious in its intent that no one but woke feminists would find anything redeeming about it, and it might be even too over the top form most of them. On top of thst its PG 13 so there is almost no gore. Why did name the movie Black Christmas? Thst original movie was not great, but this has almost nothing to even tie itself to the original. And that movie, while not great runs rings around the new movie. I was actually shocked at how bad the sequel was.

The remake of "Maniac" is incredible! Good pick, Chris Alo! Great remake of a great film!

Finally a chance to start catching up on missed episodes of the last week and glad I picked this one first. The combo of Rich, Chris and Pete never fails to entertain me, enlighten me and leave me with several good laughs. Chris proves he should be leading the Justice League with his decisions on team members needed (or not) for many missions - including the cat in the tree. Hilarious stuff here and a good discussion on remakes and those with none needed. Brilliant and hilarious comparison for the monster discussion going on. Hoping the Trio of Doom can keep giving us episodes when the concert world opens up everyone gets busier. But even if not, these episodes should be enjoyed by everyone. Thanks Rich, Chris and Pete for another highly memorable episode of The Monster's Den.

What made those "few" remakes such as The Thing/The Fly.. stand out is GOOD writing and clever directors attached to them. Nowdays, it's all about big studios controlling everything and either hiring hacks or newly hot independent directors who would have no saying whatsoever in the final product.

I'm not a horror movie person, but I love 'Carrie' (1976) because there's something so satisfying about a high school misfit taking revenge on her classmates that did her wrong. I don't like how they modernized the story with the 2013 remake by having the girls film Carrie on their phones when she gets her period and then the video gets shown on prom night. Though, I love the special effects on the prom scene where everyone dies, it was much more satisfying in the original film where Sissy Spacek's eyes are wide open and her face is stone-cold as she brutally murders these people with her telekinesis. She already reached a breaking point and was no longer thinking straight. Sissy fit the part of a girl who was considered an outcast. This is going to sound weird, but the main reason why I hate the remake is because Carrie (played by Chloë Grace Moretz) was prettier than Chris. It looked like Chloe could've been the pretty popular one, instead of that girl who played Chris. That's just me! The soundtrack also made a difference because the music in the 1976 film really added to the storytelling.

Chris! The way people from the NY area say the work "f*ck" makes me very happy. I wouldn't remake any of the thirties horrors, because what they couldn't show makes your imagination work harder and my brain is more scary than any horror flick I've ever seen!

Worst Remakes: 1) Godzilla (any of them) 2) Dont Be Afraid Of the Dark (I would have preferred a sequel over this.) 3)Childs Play (Mark Hammill was good as the voice of chucky but not else to like about this) 4) Pet semmetary (the original was better with Herman Munster) 5) Halloween Rob Zombie

My top favorite remakes: 1)Planet of the Apes (more of a reimagined... as much as like the original with Chuck Heston they did an amazing job with the remakes.) 2) The Thing 3) The Fly 4) It 5) Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland

I agree with Chris. The Thing and The Fly are awesome, but generally studios should leave the originals well alone. For me, there is already one too many Blair Witch Projects. Too much exposition also bugs me.

Chris is the man! He cracks me up And I agree with everything he says.

The 1978 "Body Snatchers," John Carpenter's "The Thing," and David Cronenberg's "The Fly" are all *stellar* remakes. Contrary to many viewers, I actually do like the 2004 "Dawn of the Dead." In general, though, I don't like most remakes of classic horror and science fiction movies. "Them!" *might* make for a good remake, but I also shudder to think of what many modern filmmakers would do with it.

There is a stark, sober, terrifying quality to the '68 Romero classic that, to me, no other zombie movie has really gotten close to, much less surpassed (though I do think that "28 Days Later" is really, really good!). I know that for many people, '79's "Dawn" is their favorite Romero film, and their favorite zombie film, period, but I don't care for its comedic aspects too much. I generally want my zombie or zombie-esque movies to be seriously scary and unsettling, as with '68's "Night" and "28 Days Later." My positive impression of 04's "Dawn" probably has a lot to do with how I found it to be more of a genuine horror film than a comedy-horror movie like '79's "Dawn." "Them!" is my favorite bug movie too, though I do also love 1977's "Kingdom of the Spiders." William Shatner battles tarantulas, and it's actually done as a straight-faced, serious, horror movie, and not a horror-comedy! Almost unbelievably, it works, and works very well! I love it! :-)

I have to disagree with Pete's statement that most new horror movies suck. I used to think the same thing until I did a deep dive around 2013 and was pleasantly surprised. There are a TON of new horror movies that are great. It's not like music Pete, where everything up until the early 1980's is listenable (which was during your youth). There are a lot of new horror movies that aren't sequels, or remakes, but original concepts, made by unknown director's, on lower budgets, that deserve recognition. I'm not going to list all of them, but I can if you're interested. Btw, I LOVE the classics too. I'm 43 years old, so not exactly a spring chicken myself.

Well, I've seen a ton of them, and there are a TON I haven't seen. I'll say 7 out of 10 horror films I've seen over the last decade I haven't liked at all. Trying too hard for cheap scares, or NO scares at all, OR just trying to be way too brutal just to be brutal. I'm not saying there aren't some good ones being made, but I just feel that's the minority, based on what I've seen.

Some classic horror titles I love, though not sure they actually need remakes but it's curious that they haven't had any so far; One Dark Night (1982), Death Line (1972) and the Spanish Blind Dead series. Incidentally, Psychomania (1973) clearly inspired Motorhead's "Killed by Death" music video.

Agree Chris Maniac remake was really good.

Sorry to get off subject, but talking about music.To me their is so many groups and singers from the sixties seventies and eighties when I grew up that I never listened to or never heard of.The newer stuff from those groups I do listen to.But if it's a choice between listening to older music and newer groups than I pick the former first. and then the latter.

I always thought that Zombie (1979) could benefit from a remake provided the right director and old-school effects were used. Especially if someone like Tarantino did it. The lush and grainy cinematography in Kill Bill 2 during the Mexico and Pai Mei scenes would be the prefect look and colour grade for the sub-tropical setting, not to mention improved dialog, acting, levity, and action. In regards to good recent Horror, The Autopsy of Jane Doe is one of the best, imo.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers has had a couple good remakes, with Phillip Kaufman's and Abel Ferrara's versions being quite good. Essentially, though most horror remakes are garbage.

Prefer the original Ring but agree about the Body Snatcher remakes.

A modern Horror Film I really enjoyed was The Witch.

A remake of 'Tremors' wouldn't work at all i think, the chemestry between Bacon and Ward can't be replaced by other actors ...

@@comicbookgeezers Ok I can agree on that but then like you often said there has to be something new to it, a whole new story, different location maybe ... Motivation of the main character(s) can stay the same which is basicly for 75% of the movie "What the fuck is going on" status ... :-)

Witchfinder General would benefit from a remake if only to rectify some of the inaccuracies of the original. Not entirely sure it would be a necessity though. Leave it well alone.

What a Cool subject! Nothing surprises me anymore.. I would not be Surprised if somebody wanted to Re-Make the "Walking Dead" show right now while the orginal is still going!...... It might happen! ..What I think was cool remakes: (BTW, I actually thought Texas Chainsaw 2 was quite Funny BTW, I loved it as a child..) :-) Also (I have not seen many remakes..) Carpenters "The Thing", which was for obvious reasons! As well as the Fly! War of The Worlds! with Sheen.. I Liked it for its effects and the deviation from the story and puts the story into modern times from the first film and the H.G.W. Story. What I do not like The Mummy Remake with Sheen = I wont even bother to watch it. The Brendon Frazier Films were Awesome and quite funny and adventurous! An Awesome Film!! "Poltergeist" Remake = SUCKED!! It was not even Scarry! The first one still Scares me to this day, since I first saw it when it was new! Now a days = "Lets put a DRONE into the closet"! = Stupid!! "Amityville Horror" remake = EHH.. Not too good, but has it's moments.. I will get off topic here with 2 swoard and Sorrcery films here, but they do deal with Monsters!.. "Clash of the Titans!" = WHY!! It Sucked!! The original was Perfect! Maybe these new Directors have Envy and try to better the predessors?? Another thing Again, IS the CGI! = It looked So Fake and kinda Stupid! The Original can be forgiven, because it was The MASTER Ray H.H.! These are Both CGI Disasters! IMHO! Also.. Off of the subject here.. What is the HYPE wit "Mad Max Fury Road"??? I Know that people Will Hate me for saying this!! "Rosemarys Baby" = I know.. The whole "Possession" Thing.. "North by NorthWest", (Hitchcock), Is kind of dated, but a Great story. But in many ways, this story has been re-created in so many other ways!What a Cool subject! Nothing surprises me anymore.. I would not be Surprised if somebody wanted to Re-Make the "Walking Dead" show right now while the orginal is still going! It might happen!

What Should be Remade: "Rosemarys Baby" = I know.. The whole "Possession" Thing.. But the thing should be remade?? The first was kinda weird, but a good idea!

Would love to see a remake of 10 Rillington Place

"Night of the Lepus","The Car","Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"... Remake or not? Heavily debatable,in my opinion. "The Night Stalker" 1971 would make a great remake

Don't know if this counts or not but Dracula vs Frankenstein/Frankenstein Meets Dracula needs re-made but by Universal Studio's because it's! about! damn! time! now in a way A&C Meet Frankenstein was a DvF movie with Drac being so afraid of The Monster that he wanted to give him Lou's Brain but still not quite it

The trouble with the Thing and some of the Alien remakes after the 4th one, they put women in roles that they are not suited to tick the boxes. The Evil Dead remake was pretty good though. PS.. Chris Alo would make a fortune on Twitch streaming games.

fright night remake(horr-aaaa-bulllll)......the fearless vampire killers remake stars johnny depp.....would be fun

Great show! Im not completely through... but i still wait for someone mentioning the most unneccassary remake from THE SHINING... i hate the stephen King Version

Do not overlook the Top Two motives for remakes (from the studio's point of view): #1: We already own the property #2: It certainly worked the _first_ time!

Oh, and why did they remake The Omen?

Best - The Thing, The Fly, The Blob Worst - April fool's day, Black Christmas (both), Prom Night

Most don't consider this a horror movie...but I kinda do....and that's Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear...the original is good....but the remake was more intense....

Just started the video and I hear Rich explaining why he doesn’t like some of these remakes because of the over explanation and the backstory. What I’m anxious to see now is if he slams the Friday the 13th remake or if he says it was good. Because according to his reasoning that remake is technically better than the original movie.

I would like to see the Tower of Evil (1972) remade by Eli Roth.
