I think it really just has to do with the times and what you saw first. If you saw the classics and grew up with those long before you watched any of the new ones, then of course you're going to feel an attachment to them. I think the Halloween movies are OK. That's all. I watch them every now and then and I enjoy them when I do, but I can't watch them and love the hell out of them every time like I can with the F13s. As far as remakes go, I'm always open to them, I think it's exciting to see what new direction they're going to take the concept in; that's the point of a remake and it always puzzles me as to how many people out there (generally speaking, I mean) always want them to be basically frame-by-frame duplicates of the originals (which they say they love so much). The term RE-make never quite sinks in.I liked RZ's Halloween a lot. I liked the TCM remake and its prequel a lot. I can't wait for the F13 remake. So what? I admit it. Not pointing any fingers, but admitting you like the new stuff is a lot better than trying to go back and say you always loved the originals and absolutely despised the remakes. It's not fooling anyone.Certainly the original Halloween was a benchmark in the evolution of horror films, but it's still just a movie. Which means it can be loved, hated, viewed indifferently, or what-have-you.Just my 2 cents.I'm also 18 years old, which means I did not grow up with any of the originals, and it would be unjust of me to pretend I did. However, they were what I watched first. I watched the first Friday the 13th all the way up through the 8th before seeing Jason X or FvsJ, so I still love them. Just saying.
IT'S ALIVE!
