Many horror movies today aren’t as scary as they were years ago. Because some of them got an upgrade in the modern age with new technology and better CGI, many millennials find the remakes to be the scariest. However, some people who have seen both the originals and the remakes have seen a lot of errors in the remakes. (Spoiler alert is in effect!)

From the original Friday the 13th to the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, many have been better than the original, but some have been worse.

Based on how many people used to watch the 1984 film A Nightmare on Elm Street compared to the 2010 adaptation, the original is still more popular than its counterpart. The same goes for another great horror film, Carrie. Based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, the tables have turned. The remake has overthrown the original. During one point of the year, it was more popular than the original.

The recent horror film Halloween isn’t a remake in itself due to their resuming the plot from the original film, though many years later. Yes, it seems to have some flaws. For example, in the original movie, Michael Myers was apparently killed multiple times — he is wounded by a hanger to the eye by Laurie and also ends up getting shot in the head by Dr. Loomis.

In Halloween H2O: 20 Years Later, Laurie kills Michael Myers by chopping his head off with an ax to keep him from coming back again, according to WatchMojo.com. But as shown in the recent movie, he just came back again.

Other remakes have lost the spooky vibe they originally had, such as It.

It is a movie based on the Stephen King novel of the same name. In the original adaptation of the book, Pennywise looks more like a clown than his true form,which is an interdimensional being that feeds off fear every 20 years. The new Pennywise just looks like himself but also like a scarecrow with a mouth from the walkers from the Resident Evil series. In the original film, his true form looks more like an arachnid; back then it was scary as heck. People who grew up with the original won’t see the new Pennywise as all that scary. Yes, the remake has some value for spookiness, but would it really scare people who grew up with the books and the original movie?

Although many of these movies have a lot more flaws than the average viewer would notice, some have either lost the plot or something else. For instance, 13 Ghosts.

13 Ghosts was originally set in a mansion that held a terrible past. Upon moving in, the Zorbas, the family who inherited the mansion, learn that the house held 12 ghosts and was run by a housekeeper who dealt in the dark arts. Though the ghosts are intent on killing a member of the family, the Zorbas insist on staying because they have learned that a large fortune is hidden somewhere inside it.

The 2001 remake of the film didn’t really show this in its plot although it claims it does. The family inherits the mansion from an eccentric uncle, but the original doesn’t say who they inherited it from. They really don’t seem to be freaked out about what is going on like they were in the original; it seems like the ghosts were there all this time. The reviews are just as bad for it, too: 15 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, 5.6 out of 10 on IMDb, and 2 out of 5 on Common Sense Media. It seems that few people like this 2001 remake.

Yes, there are a handful of good horror movie remakes, but they are overshadowed by the awful ones.
