In a recent publication whose name I won't mention, Rob cited "Freaks", "Spider Baby" & "Deranged" as three of his favorite horror films. I think he would do an astounding job remaking any of those and could actually deliver the film that he has been trying to all this time. "The Blob" would be better off with somebody who has a bit more technical prowess and experience with effects. I'm a huge fan of the 88 version, it's going to be hard to top.<br /><br />On the plus side; Brad Dourif as the homeless guy who first discovers the blob!-Unkkindertraumahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07176839856388835793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-22238048468355105162009-09-02T23:11:45.173-04:002009-09-02T23:11:45.173-04:00Yes, Ray, I would LOVE to see Zombie do Werewolf W...Yes, Ray, I would LOVE to see Zombie do Werewolf Women of the SS.

There's talk of a remake of <i>The Thing</i>, John Carpenter's version already being a remake itself. Interesting to note, though, that all of these are based on books or short stories.Frostbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00902146111361966688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-27784444474911934982009-09-02T22:16:16.408-04:002009-09-02T22:16:16.408-04:00Well, I suppose that we could get a back story on ...Well, I suppose that we could get a back story on what made The Blob so bent on world domination in the first place ... and then the entire thing could be set in a very white-trash town, complete with people who say "the f word" a lot. Hey and Sheri could play a slutty waitress with a heart of gold who mistake's The Blob for a bowl of Jello that she in turn serves to someone (no doubt a cult film star from the 70's) ... oh, the possibilities are endless.Pax Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951019083510283683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-71722779868105033072009-09-02T22:09:42.035-04:002009-09-02T22:09:42.035-04:00Damn, B.

And I thought all the outstanding questions were answered in the remake that came out in 1989.<br /><br />I've said it before: he should be making more exploitation flicks, and Werewolf Women of the S.S. is practically begging to be made. <br /><br />But take heart. As you yourself said, The Blob is not sacrosanct. He isn't remaking something he can possibly screw up. You cannot hate The Blob - it's a pure monster. It is jelly/liquid and eats people, sometimes surprising them. Later, they find a way to kill it. We eat popcorn.<br /><br />And maybe if The Blob delivers just that, maybe it will wash some of the bad taste of the H2 Redux.RayRayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718037136482754673noreply@blogger.com
