    Old Jerry Dandridge is millions of times better than new Jerry. Even Chris Sarandon's cameo in the new Fright Night was better than the new Jerry Dandridge! ;P

      I agree 100% plus the lady vamp with the huge mouth gave me nightmares back in the day.

    Wow, cgi and special effects have really come a long way. And yet, the originals scared people more than any modern movie can. We are so jaded.

    I loved all the pics. It's really true that some modernizations worked better than others, but I still enjoy the classics too. Thanks for all the pics! :-)

    I'm usually oppsed to remakes,
    but some do actually do the movie justice.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the carrie Remake.
