	Zcali1 picked good idea: This could go both ways. I think it just depends on when they were made. posted over a year ago.

	cliffclaven picked big mistake: the biggest mistake was the remake of the ring posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	Mindfreak666 picked good idea: What is wrong with remakes? Some of them are better than the originals. I prefer the remakes of Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. Although The Amityville Horror remake sucked. I guess it depends on the individual movie. posted over a year ago.

	nicola_16 picked good idea: I think for some of the older movies its good to remake as they have better technology but for some its a bad idea posted over a year ago.

	pinkmad17 picked big mistake: Re-makes are wrong! posted over a year ago.

	Sunflower picked good idea: No movies are wrong per se. It all depends on how well the remake is done. Special effects have come a long way in the past 20 years so some 70s horror movies could benefit technically from a remake. posted over a year ago.

	TheCountess picked big mistake: I can only think of two remakes that I think were an improvement on the originals... John Carpenter's version of "The Thing" (can still make me cringe & more true to the original story), and silly as both versions were, the remake of "The Blob". I guess part of it depends on how old you are, and what you appreciate (actors, effects, etc). In some cases, it's interesting to see what has been done, but in most cases, I'll pick the original any day! posted over a year ago.

	Cthulhu_Mythos picked good idea: I Only Say this Cause Some Movies Deserve Remakes. Some Should not Be Touched and If they are Messed with We Need an Amazing Director to do Something Good about it. posted over a year ago.

	Impulse85 picked big mistake: There are only 2 remakes that are any good and those are Dawn of the Dead and The Hills have Eyes. Those are better then the originals, but when it comes to movies like Prom Night, Holloween, and The Fog. They should be dismissed as never being made at all. Alot of movies have been and will be screwed up because the people making them aren't concerned about what made the originals great to begin with they're only worried about how much sex and cheap effects thay can stick in it. posted over a year ago.

	ethan101 picked good idea: i say go for it! because the old movies do look boring. it's time to add more spice! posted over a year ago.

	Cammie picked big mistake: I can't think of one remake (in any genre at all!) that has been even a slight improvement on the original. Planet Of The Apes for eg was a shocker!!! posted over a year ago.

	FifiPinky picked good idea: Depends! hmm,, posted over a year ago.

	mellyboi1 picked good idea: I think it's a great idea to remake older movies using special effects. I mean anything can be better after 20 years to approve on it. Just think about it. posted over a year ago.

	axlluver43 picked big mistake: I keep hearing about these Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday The 13th remakes and I die a little inside :( I saw the Halloween movie with my little brother and I watched in stone-faced. posted over a year ago.

	Roxas1314 picked good idea: I thought the new Halloween explained more than the first. posted over a year ago.

	indigo_ozz picked big mistake: Yeah, the Halloween remake was way off of the mark. I wouldn't have a problem with remakes if they were done well, but 98% or the time they are not. posted over a year ago.

	dmcvicor picked good idea: i think its a good idea to make some remakes but halloween and hellraiser is going too far.they were good movies anyway. posted over a year ago.

	melmelx picked good idea: love them but again it depends on the movie. posted over a year ago.

	hitman11 picked big mistake: it reaaally depends on the movie but so far, The halloween remake sucked and so did the friday the 13th one, if they mess up Nightmare on elm street as much as they did those ones i will cry posted over a year ago.

	djice picked big mistake: am an old shcool movie whacher posted over a year ago.

	moosegbts37 picked good idea: Eh, some of them are okay posted over a year ago.

	sapherequeen picked good idea: Some of the remakes are awesome :) posted over a year ago.

	ItalianAngel89 picked good idea: I dont mind them. I think some are even better than the orignals. posted over a year ago.

	ryanatthedisco2 picked good idea: i like them i cannot wait to see stepfather posted over a year ago.

	Seluu picked big mistake: bad idea posted over a year ago.

	chill1025 picked good idea: i love remakes such as mbv last house on the left and halloween im also looking forward to the nightmare on elm street childs play and scream remakes too posted over a year ago.

	Snake-Eye picked big mistake: A REALLY bad idea. Dear Hollywood, leave the classics alone, you can't beat them!!! posted over a year ago.

	energizerbunny picked good idea: I think they are good ideas it's just some directors and creators ruin them and make them unsimilar to the original....there are some remakes that are either better than the original or just as good as the original.. posted over a year ago.

	CornChips picked big mistake: No...just no. posted over a year ago.

	MarlenaLovett picked big mistake: Never a good idea. They always turns out worst than the orginal. posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	cookiehead101 picked big mistake: some of them r good not a lot though last night i saw the nightmare on elm street remake it sucked but like the remake of halloween was good but not the second 1 then again the remake of friday the 13th just omg sucked bad posted over a year ago.

	ChuckyFan984 picked good idea: I Can't Wait To See The Child's Play Remake!!! The Child's Play Movie Remake Will Be Awsome!! posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	piperlovegood picked big mistake: some are awful but I wouldn't mind them if they were done right...NOS was a nightmare made me want to cry at how bad some things were. posted over a year ago.

	josch picked big mistake: I'm sick and tired of remakes, especially of foreign horror movies because they're never ever even nearly as good as the originals. posted over a year ago.

	CookiesPeople picked big mistake: I pick 'Big Mistake' because I'm not a fana of remakes. But perhaps some of them are good. posted over a year ago.

	ChuckyFan984 picked good idea: A Nightmare On Elm Street Remake Was Great And Friday The 13th Was Really Good And The Halloween 1 And 2 Remake Was Better Than These Two Remakes posted over a year ago.

	ChuckyFan984 picked good idea: I Hate What They Put As The Picture Of The Pick Big Mistake Because It Looks Ugly Because It Had An Old Man In The Picture posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	frankie_fan picked big mistake: Nothing beats the classics posted over a year ago.

	rui78901 picked good idea: Sometimes posted over a year ago.

	EclecticFan78 picked big mistake: I will say for the most part it is a case by case senerio. But people now in days don't seem to know what horror even is and it tends to show when you can take a creepy movie, remake it, and it provides no scares. posted over a year ago.

	droberson1104 picked big mistake: I have seen a few (a very few)good remakes. But overall remakes are just redundant and poorly done. Some originals are PERFECT, why remake them??? Like "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Halloween". I generally don't like remakes. posted over a year ago.

	JennyRocker197 picked big mistake: So far it's a big mistake. posted over a year ago.

	1122ridr picked good idea: The only good remakes I've seen are A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Thing, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Godzilla, and Willard. posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	RiverIce picked big mistake: I love old movies! like micheal myers! Its better tht old! posted over a year ago.

	karlyluvsam picked big mistake: i think its cool to continue the lengens - Like freddie vs Jason .. but i think its soooooooooooooooooo stupid to remake the hole story posted over a year ago.

	ffgt7hw picked big mistake: matters on the remake but most SUCK posted over a year ago.

	stlouisfan picked good idea: It depends on how well they're written and how well performed. Remakes could good, okay, or bad. posted over a year ago.

	ChuckyLover1 picked big mistake: when u make something u CANT REMAKE IT PEOPLE. THINGS ARE NOT MEANT TO BE REMADE OR REPLACED.. BUT U DONT HAVE TO AGREE WIT ME,when u make a specific movie and there is a person or thing that is orginally.. that (SOMETHING) no one or anything else can replace that certain person or thing, because when the first something does it, IT BECOMES THE ORIGINAL and u cant change originals.. so i say remakes are lame.... unless its a certain movie that would need very much touch to it. posted over a year ago.

	RyanxSarah23 picked good idea: I think it's a good idea 'cause I like the remake of Friday the 13th and the remake of Halloween...I hate the original Friday the 13th! posted over a year ago.

	Makeupdiva picked big mistake: Why remake good movies? Most of the remakes suck. I think the only remake I actually liked was The Amityville Horror. Anyways, remakes can actually not compare to the originals. They are usually just plain awful. Like Halloween, I found to be too gory, sure you learn more of why Michael turned into a psycho killer than you did in the original but still why recreate a good film. Like Total Recall. Now they are remaking The Crow. They just can't come up with anything new, they have no imaginations. posted over a year ago.

	Lovehinagurl44 picked big mistake: Remaking movies constantly just shows they're running out of ideas. Most remakes of any genre ruin the movie anyways. Some of the old horror movies are so pathetic and fake but remaking it doesn't help when the movie was never good. posted over a year ago.

	Jekyde picked big mistake: They all end up very stupid. posted over a year ago.

	jokerfan28 picked big mistake: Because a lot of times, the remakes turn out to be terrible. posted over a year ago.

	CameronLovesNny picked good idea: It's ok as long as they don't fuck it up like "Poltergeist" and "Evil Dead" posted over a year ago.

	fansfunsz picked good idea: good posted over a year ago.

	Saku15 picked good idea: I saw NOES original and remake version and I prefer the 2010 one. posted over a year ago.

	OneRedonkChick picked big mistake: Horror movie remakes may sound like a good idea at first glance, but the problem with them is that more often than not, they don't do the originals any justice. They're usually just uninspired, unoriginal, and uncreative. Plus, remakes just seem to be ultimately pointless; especially when they're remakes of already good films. It's like fixing something that's not broken; why bother wasting the time? posted over a year ago. last edited over a year ago

	Makeupdiva picked big mistake: Another reason why remakes are a bad idea, take a look at the new Poltergeist. It was so awful. It can't even compare to the original. It was so stupid that it was the biggest mistake that was ever made. It was that horrible. It was also like an insult to the original. And as I said in my first comment, some can be good but mostly to me, just because of the technology that we have now, you have to think about the acting, acting makes a movie good and the plot. A lot of remakes aren't always like the originals as they tend to modernize them such as Poltergeist, Carrie, Halloween, Friday the 13th. They were all based in the 70's and 80's but today they use cell phones and computers, etc. I just prefer the originals. posted over a year ago.

	elephantboy picked good idea: 4 of my favorite remakes when a stranger calls black christmas don.t be afraid of the dark and the hills have eyes posted over a year ago.
