Just watched the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween. BAD! Original is FAR, FAR superior.

I can Tell you all right now-putting my very minor reputation (HA!) as a film collector that the remake of "HOUSE OF WAX" with Paris Hilton was vastly inferior to the original VINCENT PRICE/FRANK LOVEJOY/PHYLLIS KIRK/CHARLES BRONSON original (or for tjhat matter the 1933 original "MYSTERY OF THE WAX MUSEAM" starring Lionel Atwill and Faye Wray.)

Also the TV film "HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN" was pretty bad-give me the original!

I hope no one would suggest the remake of "THE BLOB" was better than the original - anyone?

Remake version's SFX was great, but I prefer original, out of respect for McQueen.

Is the original that good to begin with? I only saw the remake once, and I was so young when I saw it that any grown-up horror film was an awesome experience. I remember the gorey effects blew me away, but I also remember enjoying the storyline (which means if I enjoyed it as a sprog it's probably rubbish now I'm older
)Anyway, I think the original is particularly ropey, and I've never understoof Steve McQueen's appeal. Aside from The Getaway, I can't even think of any of himn films I've liked that much :confused:

Have you ever seen "The Great Escape" and "The Magnificent Seven"?
Oh, well, by the way, "The Magnificent Seven" is definitely better than the original. Of course, "Seven Samurai" is masterpeice and good movie. But I prefer "The Magnificent Seven".

I liked the remake better. To me the original was too hokey. Who was that, Jimmy Stewart? I never did like him. He always acted like he was in a comedy.
