In the film series, he eventually became a wisecracking joker who could turn into a motorcycle- it's like everyone forgot he was a child molester/murderer and he became a hero of sorts.<BR/><BR/>Of course, what I'd like to see is closer to psychological horror than slasher and it probably wouldn't fly.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13599870.post-57569575103296152072008-01-31T13:09:00.000-05:002008-01-31T13:09:00.000-05:00Damn you!

I love the hell out of "Halloween," but at least I could see someone else playing Myers; Jason, for that matter isn't a big deal in the recasting area either. Hell, a "Friday the 13th" remake is fine considering you're only crapping on shitty films. <BR/><BR/>But how do you replace Englund? Maybe it's not quite as ominous a character, but think about how hard it was to watch Vince Vaughn replace Anthony Perkins in that terrible remake of "Psycho."
