Slasher Remakes - What's New is Old

Every horror fan has their favorite slasher. You can stick with Freddy, who can get you where you sleep. You can go with Chucky who’s always good for a laugh. You can go with Jason who keeps you on your feet, or you can stick with Michael, the king of all slasher-dom who keeps it close to home.

Odds are if you’re a horror fan, you grew up with all of them, but one of them probably had a special place in your heart above the others. But no matter who you picked, something probably happened when you got older. Something that happens to all slashers no matter how iconic they may be.

Your favorite horror slasher got remade.

The big slasher kings Freddy, Michael, Chucky, and Jason have all had the remake facelift, for better or worse. You know how I feel about all those originals, now allow me to tell you how I feel about the remakes.
