@Fingers: The color scheme is one of the many reasons I'd say a Suspiria remake-director would really have to know what they were doing. IMO you cannot just pass up one of the big reasons why Suspiria is so popular (and IMO so effective) in the first place as "outdated" or "unimportant artistry." In this case, the dreaded color-correction/digital intermediate that's pervaded so many modern films could actually work wonders if they do use it right.
As for the score; yeah, I doubt Jablonsky would try anything different for what is probably in his mind "just another fright flick remake," but I hold out hope that the source material's inherent creepiness will shine through and still come out as something scary to listen to.
@mrblue: That's actually one reason why I'm so optimistic, not because I think making good stoner films is indicative of good horror films, but because A) we'd be coming into him doing horror with a fresh slate, and B) it means (once again) he's less likely to be just some overconfident fanboy and more of someone who actually wants to do justice to the original because it's a good movie, and not just because it's an old horror film to be "updated"

âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
