>) If there is to be a remake I hope they do it justice. The original was excellent and I sometimes fear when classics are remade. I just watched a clip of the Fright night remake with Colin Farell Angry (Oh dear?) it isn't a patch on the two classic originals!

The problem with remaking a cult classic is, if you change too many things (especially with a movie like this) the hardcore will be pissed. If they try to use cgi, and not practical effects, they will take away most of what made this movie such a cult classic.

could not agree with you more on the fact that remaking a classic movie should be as close to the same as the original in the sense of the story line and plot goes. now i wouldn't call myself a hardcore fan when in comes to the original but growing up watching it i have to say that i'm a definite fan of it and have to agree that going all out as most movies do today with the cgi would make it seem like a shitty movie

Well, you know its going to get "F"ed up period. Why cant they just make a somewhat sequel instead? Who knows. But as always I will give it a try. Hopefully they cast super hot and hard bodied 20 something crowd to cast the original preteen squad and involve lots of ridiculous new age teen crap lines!!! NOTTTTTT!

Yes cant wait to see this movie. Monster Squad is my all time fav monster movie. If they do remake it. Dont F it up or mak it kidy. Stick with the original story dont change it, Dont add nudity, Sex, Drugs, or anything fed up like that. Just keep it original with modern looking Monsters and maybe some more bloody scary seans.

STOP! Hollywood! Just stop with the shitty remakes!

Sons of bitches! Remakes have not worked in general. There are only a hand full of remakes that actually worked but those are few and far between. I know I'm not the only one that is so sick and tired of shitty rehashes of great old movies. I love the original, and as mentioned before, this "new version" won't come close to the charm the original has. CGI saturation, a bad script and Apatow type humor is killing movies.

Why is Hollywood insisting on moving backwards instead of forwards. Make a sequel that takes place decades later!

DAMN YOU HOLLYWOOD! Angry

Great film and all round 10 out of 10 acting by the young cast.
The original was spot on for the kids to watch so if they think revamping the monsters it will only be aimed at an older audience and that will be ashame.
A remake will not come anywhere near this classic and will probably make the whole cast look dumb to all us that love this film..........

All I can say is they had better not cut out the "Wolfman has nards!" scene.

Shock they should have remade NIGHT of the CREEPS first as a test run, and if all went well then follow through with the M S remake. If anyone can remake this film it would only be the man who originally directed it. he generation of kids these days aren't going to enjoy this film, they are too busy listening to bad music and bad remakes the novelty is gone. The GATE is getting a remake aswell.....? wtf
didn't anyone learn when the fog was remade? at least make sequels why remake something that has already been made and still holds up to this day. IDIOTS LAZY BOTTOM FEEDING IDIOTS Crazy
