In the case of 5, there are at least 3 eras: the Donald Pleasence years, the Rob Zombie movies, and the return of Jamie Lee Curtis!

100% , Obviously, I'm not the only one that doesn't like remakes of any movie.

100%. I preferred all the originals. I recall "Black Christmas" at the Yarmouth Drive-in, hadn't heard anything of it yet it was a creepy sleeper but. The one we talked about afterwards. 1970's on Cape Cod.

They goofed with #5, as the 2018 'Halloween' is sequel to the 1978 original. Pretty sure they meant the Rob Zombie remake of 2007. Or at least they *should* have meant that one, as it was a remake.

90% similar. But really, remakes are what Hollywood people do when they can't think of an original idea. They have a budget, and they know the people to get a film made, but as far as ideas go, they have nothing. So they claim to have a new and better way of doing what's already been done. And 99% of the time, it flops.

In regard to Horror Movies, I prefer the originals. In regard to Sci-Fi movies, I prefer the originals as well.

I wasn't much of a fan of horror until I started watching Svengoolie on METV!

The originals rule. The remakes are pointless cash grabs.

100% Similar. Give me the classics. Though the Hammer remakes are very good as well.

Hammer Studios.

Hammer films? You mean those British films that are kinda-sorta almost like the American films with the same names, but have lousy make-up and even lousier special effects? Yeah, well, I guess I'll watch them, if I'm tied up in chains and one comes on TV. I'm really glad that Svengoolie hasn't shown many of them lately.

I have to be in the right mood to watch a Hammer film, but for me, the actors like Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Ingrid Pitt, etc, can sort of transcend the cheesiness, making it entertaining for me in spite of the wonky SFX.
