Let's pretend, for now, that remakes, reboots, updates, prequels and "re-imaginings" don't exist in today's horror genre.
Well, that's 99% of horror movies fucked, then.
Seriously, what news of a NEW entry in the respective canon's of the above listed films would get you most excited? Now remember, they can't ignore what has gone before (no "ah, but the last three films don't count" Halloween H20 tricks here) - no, these have to be CANON sequels.
So would a new entry into the lives of the TCM family be your first choice? Or Psycho V, where (a new actor obviously, and very, very sadly) is Norman Bates, trying to live a normal life after the events of part IV, but with old demons still haunting him? Or the next chapter in the life of Michael Myers, after he escaped from the morgue after meeting his match at the hands of Busta Rhymes? ....... Yeah, maybe that one should be wiped from the slate..
Your choice, people. Any of the above, or maybe they're a top horror franchise I've not thought about. And I don't mean Saw.
