8 Classic Horror Films That Hollywood Might As Well Remake

With the Poltergeist remake now in theatres and the recent announcement of a remake of The Craft, it begs the question: are there any classic or cult horror films that have not been remade or are not now in the pipeline for a remake?

The Howling

The Howling is An American Werewolf in London’s low-budget cousin, featuring a similar story of transformation and crazed lycanthropes, this time residing in the mountains of California.

A newswoman who has been tracking down a psychotic killer is almost killed by the same, resulting in her slight nervous collapse. Her psychiatrist recommends rest and relaxation at his retreat in the mountains, so off she goes with her husband in tow to grapple with a whole pack of lycanthropes. The film is firmly tongue-in-cheek as only director Joe Dante can do it, with characters sporting names of famous werewolf movie directors, eating “Wolf Chili,” and arguing about the intricacies of werewolf culture.

The Howling is actually set for a remake even as we speak. While it can never hope to approximate the low-budget deliciousness of the original, I can only pray that the remake keeps the animated werewolf sex.
