I think there was a laser disc reference in there somewhere too.
As a stand alone novel, I prefer the original version of The Tomb. When you look at it as the beginning of a series, it needed to be updated, or it just wouldn't have worked.
I would have been interesting to simply set the entire series in the mid 80's.

I'd read all the way through it again for an 80's reboot of the RJ series.
