    I thought these remakes where a lot better than the originals

    . Mary Shelly's Frankenstien
    . Bram Stokers Dracula
    . The Fly
    . The Hills have eyes
    . The Last house on the left
    . The Thing
    . Night Of the Living dead
    . The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, (i actually love The beginning more than the original purely because the only character i like is sally)

    I'd definitely say The Thing is not only the best remake it would probably be my favorite horror movie of all time!!

    The 70s Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Donald Sutherland was pretty kick ass.

    Other honorable mentions (and yes I know some of these have already been said)--

    Last House on the Left
    Dawn of the Dead

    I enjoyed the Remake of NOTLD much more than the original but i'm not gonna deem it superior. The 1968 classic is just a little to old for my taste and I didn't watch it until I was 17 or 19, somewhere around there. On the other hand I saw the 1990 remake a few years after it's release and thought it was great.

    I often wonder if there is a better zombie film that has been made since 1990, the only real contender would be Dawn of the Dead Remake (unrated), curious as it's another remake of Romero's film

    Dawn of the Dead remake was great, but I don't think it surpasses the original.

    Night of the Living Dead (1990), I think is better than the original.

    NOTLD 90 was a wonderful remake for me because Savini stayed true to the source material while only changing things up a bit but nothing that would be devastating to the picture.

    DOTD 04 while I liked it at first mostly for the beginning sequences which I thought were top notch. The movie completely falls apart from there.

    The characters were bland and not written well compared to Dawn 78 and the Monroeville Mall was like a character to itself, the gimmick was a character whereas in 04 the mall was just sorta there, nobody cared and that was that. On top of course they changed the zombies.

    I can buy that change in zombies simply because I don't know if zombies were ever truly scary and im not sure slow zombies would be intimidating to a modern audience. Nevertheless after about the first 10-15 minutes, I did not care for the fast zombie at all.

    JC's "The Thing" is a more accurate version of the short story "Who Goes There?" by John C. Cambell, than it is a remake.

    Anyone who wants to read the story that inspired both versions, click here:

    Agreed. I never thought it qualified as a remake.

    It's still a remakes though. Just because they go more toward the source material doesn't keep it from being a remake. It just makes it a BETTER movie.

    Yeah I would tend to agree.

    There were some things I liked about Zombies remake but no way in hell does it match up punch for punch with Halloween 78 which had atmosphere, better written characters and just a genuine creep factor about it that was non existent in RZ's Halloween.

    On top of that Robs Halloween is just another slasher in a sea of remakes. JC's Halloween was one of the genre defining movies of it's time which predominantly led to the slasher craze of the 80s. While I believe the Friday the 13th series (not necessarily the first) did it better. There would be no Friday without Halloween or others before it.
