All too often it seems our headlines have been littered with nothing but news about remakes. Let's switch that up with this: The proposed Fright Night update is dead. A pile of ash. Just like Jerry Dandrige, the bloodsucker who met a fiery fate thanks to two brave vampire hunters.

With the success of Prom Night back in April, the producer for the "Hell Night remake" stated that PG-13 was the way to go and ect ect, it was sickening to hear all that. I wonder after My Bloody Valentine 3D, Friday The 13TH, Final Destination: Death Trip 3D, and Halloween 2 are all released and make bank, will he still feel the same way about a PG-13 rating for Hell Night...

i really liked the original fright night. i don't know how you would remake it today though. classic hoorro actors are all dead or entirly to old to be fighting vampiers and, unfortunately, thre aren't many horror movie host on local tv statins anymore. i just don't see how you could remake this film without it becoming a run of the mill vampire flick. maybe the vampire is a a movie actor from a series of old horror films and his biggest fan has to kill him?

well it was a classic the first one, and to follow it with a remake. well ye have to try something else. Look the idea was great a version of this with some teen going all disturbia on he's neighbort. When suddenly there vampires.
sound nice.

No FRIGHT NIGHT remake? There is a god after all!

Screen Gems would be much better off making a DTV "Fright Night" sequel,with William Ragsdale uniting with a Elvira-esque horror hostess to take on a new breed of bloodsuckers,amid semi-cameo appearances by Amanda "Amy/Marcy D'Arcy" Bearse and Stephen "Evil Ed" Geoffreys.

Thank god that plan was scrapped. What is it with remaking classics ? A lot of them are no where near as good as the original. Another "in talks" of a remake is of the cult classic Rocky Horror Picture Show, which Richard O'Brien wants no part of whatsoever. Why can't people be more creative & stop remaking classics. Some stuff is better left untouched.

First of all thank god they killed the Fright Night "Reimagining"
Secondly if they plan on making the remake of Hell House PG-13 (which is a travesty) wont they have to rename it Heck House :)

Agreed. The original was great. Also I liked part 2. It would be cool to see Tom Holland do something with the series, but not a remake, and not a sequal like Lost Boys: the Tribe!

love the look of the original... traditional yet stylish...with careful direction a new update could be more sinister a possible premise could be having Dandridge owning a cemetary with a house in another lifetime on from the previous original ...
in the remake his motives are less clear as a lot of his interactions take place in a dream with other characters from the original...
that aside the remake follows a similar path with the emphasis more on interaction with dead companions which are reminded by him on the headstones of people in the cemetary..
hence the sequel has more of a spirtual and ghoulish dimension..
he also has a spirtual side kick who lures victims to his home for damage..
u turn (1997) which i recently watched has strong character interactive elements which could be reworked into the new movie to show a different time perspective...?
the remake does require an adult approach once again in terms of how the characters view there own mortality...there would need to be a caution element to anything of a adult naturewhre sex is implied perhaps the producers may consider working towards an NC17 rating to ensure a good reworking of the original?
