With the success of Evil Dead's remake especially with their use of practical effects and having Raimi produce the film as well as Campbell, sometimes a good horror movie remake is hard to find. Sometimes there is a gem and other times there are a dozen misfires only to tarnish the legacy of the original.

Who agrees with each of the rules, best examples, worst culprits and the article?

2 misconceptions though, The Thing 1982 and Mary Shelly's Frankenstein aren't remakes since they are re-adaptations of novels and not the earlier films.

Who agrees with them that Rosemary's Baby, Poltergeist, Jaws and American Werewolf in London are perfect horror films that should never be remade?
