Dario Argento

To you and to Bo, I loved Suspiria, but I guess it IS horror for certain tastes... I think it is remake-able, but like I said with the Evil Dead remake, the director would have to be hyper-competent. Keep the general gist, DEFINITELY keep the direction as close to Argento as humanly possible, add more backstory and amp up the potential for arthouse-gore.

Creepers was heavy on the magical-realism, even moreso than outright horror. There were a selection of moments that made it into a clear horror film but don't go in expecting to be scared all the way through.

Yes, we all have our horror flavors. I agree with you that the director must stay true to Argento's story & working closely with him. Pulling off the arthouse-gore may be tough because that is Argento notoriety.

Magical-realism is totally up my alley, I do venture outside of horror *gasps* Man, as a kid the stuff that influenced me in that regard: The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Never Ending Story, Lewis Caroll, HR Giger. I did a paper on Lewis Caroll and was just so fascinated by him. I tend to bend more on the psychological/surrealism side with my studies in school though. Creepers is definitely in my queue.
