I love old horror films, from White Zombie, The Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Psycho, Amityville Horror, etc but the remakes could also be good. You can still stan for the old, and love the new. Who says you have to choose one or the other?
What is considered "scary" has definitely changed over the years. You have to remember Jaws scared this s*** out of everyone in the 70s, if it was made today, people may not even find it scary at all. The Exorcist was also considered scary back then, but it probably won't be as scary in this generation.
I watched the remake to Nightmare on Elm, the special effects were on point. It was a good movie, I just didn't like Freddy. I thought Kelly Rowland was in this one, but she was in Freddy vs Jason.
Now Im watching Cabin in the Woods, my baby daddy is in this Chris hemsworth
