Ad CHUD would be a darling!

Basket Case anyone?

I forgot about House!! That would be really nice! Although, I am on Briggs' side with Basket Case. It sort of would loose it's charm. Nowadays it would be all CGI and not awesome puppets.

If a Basket Case remake would depend on CGI then screw the whole thing! I hate to dismiss anything on principle, but not even Pixar could give an animated Belial the same personality that latex puppet had!

I think that's why cheesy 80s horror flicks should only stay as cheesy 80s horror flicks... only exception is, if that movie could have improved a lot more (ex. C.H.U.D.).

I pledge that if I ever do a remake of Basket Case I will use puppets.

I would like to see a remake of The People Under The Stairs. I think it could be really cool. But it may be too new to remake anytime soon.

Yeah, a bit too soon. I think that movie is fine the way it is... nobody can act like that mother and father.

The People Under The Stairs was amazing! The dad just walks around in some sort of bondage gear while blasting at the walls with a shotgun. Want to hear one of the best lines in the movie? I think it went something like this:

"Yeah, and maybe the President will make me Secretary of pussy."

HA!!!! That's funny as hell!!!!

I don't think there are enough 'gimps' in the movies.

hahaha yea! Good classic flick!

I think it's time to watch People Under The Stairs again. Soon -- very soon.

Mr. Briggs Inc. Wrote:Topic #2: RP was not as structured as you're likely used to, though it was indubitantly (sic, I just know it ._.) fun . We're definitely due for another one here if you'd like to start anything!

Topic #1:

Puppet Master - It had the potential to be a gothic horror classic... unfortunately, I think it had much too little suspense as well as much too little character development to be a success >.< . My remake would have an even darker "supernatural mystery" feel to it whilst keeping the violence, and definitely keeping the stop-motion effects (PM would NOT be the same without 'em IMO!)

The Funhouse - I recall this one being much darker and more surreal when I saw bits and pieces of it as a child... I'd put in more of the atmosphere (Alive, alive, alive...) plus more plot/suspense in general, take out a lot of "cheeze"

Neon Maniacs - Another one with lotsa potential, at least for something cool and cheezy. I actually got to about 50 pages in a darker and more violent remake I was writing (mostly for kicks)

Alone in the Dark ('80s version) - Good premise, a bit too lightweight...

Hell Night - Another that's a bit too lightweight for it's premise, I'd keep the more unique elements but add more slasher/monster staples (For one things, have all 4 children somehow survive instead of just the males, and give them a larger group to kill)

House - Keep pretty much everything from the original, but amp it up and add more; more monsters, more neighbors, more flashbacks, horror and humor.

Spookies - Add together the best parts of both the original "Twisted Souls" and Spookies, keep the monsters and more but make it more a haunted house deal with a deeper plot (Peter and Meegan are actually searching for Billy, but Duke and his cohorts are looking for their party) instead of just a zany stalk-and-kill

your right puppet master wouldnt be the same without stop motion. But I think if it were to be remade the studio wouldnt want to take the time into doing tha way unless you have a real good fan of the puppet master series dirrect the movie

I think The Funhouse would be a nice remake. There is a lot of things you can play around with.

Yeah, I know... Stop motion for the puppets is great; more "real" than CGI and more "convincing"
than "sleight of hand"... It would suck if a PM remake was made without that, be a total waste probably; I'd definitely keep it all in but you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone else who would >.<
