    I've been wondering when this would take place ...

    I didn't remember the film until the quote. I do recall loving it as a child!

    Pointless. Utterly pointless. Why bother remake a film (this, or any others) that is as strong as it already is? What more can you do with it? Make it bigger in terms of effects and CGI, sure. But does that make for a better movie? No. The first film was smart, and really, a product of its time. You actually think we'll have the same type of attitude in the children this time? You think a character like Phoebe the Feeb, a 5 or 6 year old girl, will still be able to call the others "chickenshit"? Will there still be underage smoking? What about the kids spying on the hot girl changing her clothes? What about Dracula calling one of the kids a "bitch"? I highly doubt it.

    Now granted, that may not really matter to a lot in terms of overall plot. But it does in my eyes. That's what makes this film special, 'cause it captured more of a children's reality than most saccherine sweet Hollywood pictures. This kids were KIDS... not cutouts. Seeing it as a little boy, I could identify with 'em. And toss onto that monsters, it made for a great film!

    Stop with these inane remakes, please.

    The orginal movie had a flare to its decade and suprisingly worked.I doubt this could be very good except with Cohen.Hopefully were not looking at a Van Helsing copy here.

    I loved it as a kid, and now my nephews love it. Hopefully, they will do something new with it, and not just rehash it.

    Hey, at least they aren't remaking "Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein"....yet!

    Someone has to say it: Now where is the DVD for Fred Dekker's "Night of the Creeps"???

    Oh I forgot to add...

    I want a "WOLFMAN'S GOT NARDS!" T-shirt! Where can I get that? LOL

    Or

    "Creature stole my Twinkie!"

    Or
    "BOGUS!!" with Frankenstien's head

    Those are my favorites... you could also do a "See ya later, Band-Aid Breath!" but that one just makes me roll my eyes....maybe "Mummy came in my house" would be better, but that has a sexual connotation... Ha ha ha
