MORE remakes? Poltergeist / Child’s Play

142224 chucky l MORE remakes? Poltergeist / Childs Play

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. I read on the website DreadCentral.com about potential remakes of Child’s Play … no, more specifically a “reboot” of that horror movie series. In addition to that article, I read an article from The Hollywood Reporter about a Poltergeist remake.

The feedback I have heard regarding the Nightmare on Elm Street remake has been overwhelmingly negative.

All of these horror movie remakes are raising the legitimate questions of whether there are any new ideas for horror movies or whether these past horror franchises are the only (or the best) way to make money in the horror movie industry today. Seriously, do we need to bring back Chuckie? If so, for the love of all that is horrific in cinema, please don’t EVEN f*ing consider bringing back the bride of Chuckie!

Okay horror movie writers … Can you work to develop your own horror movie franchise? Please? For example, Saw has done well in creating a franchise; however, it may not do well stopping when it should. Regardless, rehashing stuff from 1988 is not the best way to make a positive impact on the genre.

LONG LIVE CREATIVITY IN HORROR!!!! I hope.
