It might be stretching the word horror quite a bit, but I would be morbidly curious to see a live action Scooby Doo and the Reluctant Werewolf movie.
A modern version of the Monster Squad could go either way.
I think in the age of private, commercial space ventures like Space X an update on the Species films could be interesting.
Horror films that can use a remake: Basket Case, CHUD, Lifeforce, Spontanous Combustion, Blue Monkey, Warning Sign, Blood Beach.
Jaws and American Werewolf in London are off limits as they are already perfect horror films that should never be remade otherwise they'll be crap like Elm Street, Fright Night, Poltergeist, The Omen, Night of the Demons and It's Alive remakes.
Several years back the creators of the Monster Squad were talking about doing a remake of it, but I don't belive it ever went anywhere.
C.H.U.D. has been brought up a few times for the remake treatment. Kevin Smith and Rob Zombie had both expressed interest in remaking the flick. There was some news going around about a film script entitled Urban Decay which seemed to be a backdoor C.H.U.D. remake.
ABOMINABLE, the bigfoot on a killing spree flick that got a lot of love in the festival circuit, and got boffo ratings when debuted on the Sci-Fi Channel. A sequel was supposedly on the way co-written by G.I. JOE godfather, Larry Hama. Basically the plot would've entailed a group National Guardsmen up in the same area as the first flick on survival training. And having the very bad luck of encountering a whole mess of Squatch like the one that was on a tear in the first flick.
Mars Attacks. Always was a fan of the comic Topps published based off their trading card set written by Kieth Giffen, and Charles Adlard on art. Was expecting the Tim Burton flick to treat the property in the same light. Unfortunately we got a schizoid flick that didn't know if wanted to be scary or goofy, and was just uncomfortable to watch. Early on in the flick's development, PUMPKINHEAD writers Gary Gerani and Mark Patrick Carducci had a more serious take on the Topps Martian Invasion before Burton got a hold of it.
- Give John Carpenter a serious budget & let him remake his remake of THE THING & at the same time film the next two sequels back/back for a new Thing Trilogy.
Deep Rising 2
The Devils Rejects. Candy Man. The Blair Witch Project.
