24) what is your opinion on remakes of classic horror films?

“Oh boy, where to begin? I guess I'll just start —”

The short answer? I feel they can even make it or break it in regards to the franchise and fans. There is hardly ever an in-between. Some remakes I have enjoyed, most I have not.

The LONG answer? When it comes to the classics, there always seems to be a remake every few years or that ridiculous part 10 continuation of the original film — where the killer would realistically be hitting their sixties or later but are surprisingly still looking like they haven't aged a year — minus all the visual trama on their concept design, of course. This mainly applies to what were original 'normal' humans that just snapped. Like Michael Myers or Jason Vorhees, for example. Now they embody a sense of supernatural in their creation.

Sure, some remakes might look nicer since we have better equipment to film and edit with — some special effects look better while some are notably worse. That is a whole different dispute when it comes to VFX vs SFX and preferences. While I feel, that since we have the power to 'doctor' up things easier and faster now, certain things are messed with too much. Take the newest Mummy film. I know that got shit on a lot so I'll keep my bit short, but remakes seem to have this need to bring something "new". I know why; it's a new generation and they want to bring new material to older fans. Yet, I feel, some of us horror fanatics would have enjoyed it if it were a literal retelling — no flashy new baddie.

What film did I enjoy that was a remake recently? I actually really liked the newest 2022 Scream film. They brought back the original cast that wasn't just cameos in the background. They extended the story from the original plot. They weren't afraid to toss in some classic moments or make fun at a made-up similar franchise within its own universe. It took a realistic aspect of "What if another set of horror-loving people took things one step too far" just like the original. So, to list why I liked it: 1) they didn't change the plot of the film and 2) They were able to bring back the original cast members for semi-important roles.

This is why I am looking forward to the next installment of Jurassic World even if I do favor the classic Jurassic Park franchise. We all have our favorites and the newer generation will tend to lean toward what looks prettier rather than where it all began. Then again, some 'remakes' are better done in different media altogether. Take the live broadway spectacular that was Beetlejuice. I love the original, even the tv series, but that theatre performance was amazing!

Thank you for asking, by the way! I love horror topics and can probably talk anyone's ears off in regards to supernatural, paranormal, psychological and/or slasher themes.

I thought I'd tell you that I'm coming down from being tipsy and trying to sleep and I couldn't remember what mbmbam stood for and my first thought was "my boy my boy and me" but then I immediately remembered the right words but just shrugged like, close enough amiright?

the adventure zone could also be called mbmbmbam, or my boy my boy my boy and me, with the “me” referring to clint

glad to see you're back! hope you've been doing alright

Good to hear from you! I'm doing alright, dude. I had an amazing holiday with my fiance and I've just been easing back into my regular routine since January. Some of my setup has changed. I have a new computer which means I'm struggling to log into everything again. As well as getting some files moved over. Also, I'm back to having art as my only means of income (lost my regular hourly job basically) but, otherwise, all is good! Just means I've been overwhelmed with getting paid work done for clients. Can't complain too much — it pays the bills! And you??? How's life been treating you, dude!
