#DORK 19: Horror Movie Remakes

A Friday The 13th Message For New Englanders

Happy Friday The 13th

Late on this one, but good news for you, we get another Friday the 13th coming up in December.  But it looks like you survived the day, so good on ya. 

Jason's Friday The 13th Kills

This is fine work. Not sure if it includes the remake, but who cares. I believe Jason has 144 confirmed kills. And this beauty of a chart has them all... and how!

Hope you survived Friday the 13th!

Ridiculous List of Horror Movie Remakes

It really is comical how many horror movies have been remade in the last 10-15 years. There are so few original ideas out there. Movies that came out 20 somethin years ago are still being remade or "re-imagined" as those involved like to say. I'm not dumping on all of these movies, cause I have enjoyed some, but still this is a bit much. ALL of these movies listed below have been re-done. (Not a complete list)

• Halloween


• Halloween II


• Friday the 13th


• A Nightmare on Elm Street


• Black Christmas


• When a Stranger Calls


• The Hills Have Eyes


• The Hills Have Eyes II


• Psycho


• The Thing (twice)


• The Fly


• House on Haunted Hill


• Dawn of the Dead


• Cape Fear


• House of Wax


• The Hitcher


• Dracula


• Frankenstein


• The Wolfman


• Prom Night


• The Omen


• I Spit on Your Grave


• The Wicker Man


• It's Alive


• The Last House on the Left


• Red Dragon (was Manhunter)


• My Bloody Valentine


• Night of the Living Dead


• Piranha


• One Missed Call


• Quarantine (was REC)


• The Ring (was Ringu)


• The Ring 2 (was Ringu 2)


• Sorority Row (was The House on Sorority Row)


• The Amityville Horror


• The Crazies


• The Eye


• The Fog


• The Grudge


• The Haunting


• The Stepfather


• The Texas Chainsaw Massacre


• The Uninvited (was The Tale of Two Sisters)


• 13 Ghosts

There are many more, but these are the most popular. So remember young fans of Horror, when you're watching a movie, ask yourself, "Is this the original?" Chances are, the answer is no.

Opey Tha Poet

Opey is a friend of The Sports Brief, and he will performing Friday March 13th at Copperfields near Fenway. Wait Friday the 13th, again? What the? Didn't we just have one, that was accompanied by a remake film, which I saw and enjoyed. But forget that for a second, and enjoy this promo for said event by the one, the only Opey.



Good news, a "Sports Brief" rap is in the works as well by Opey... stay tuned.
