Halloween Remake Ideas

The Halloween movie has been a great success within the slasher genre and some institutions have decided to make remakes of the movie as seen with the remake Halloween H20, starring Jamie lee curtis.

Some of the movies major features and main attractions lie within the location of the movie, the style of the time period and the make up of the villain, for example the mask and the weapons used within the movie. The make up of the villain would be the first and major thing that i would decide to keep for a remake of the original as the mask in particular made a vast impact on the audience as it was very memorable and has remained one of the main attractions when it comes to the slasher genre. The overall costume would be the thing that would remain as it is what this movie is all based around.

The setting of the movie would remain in the suburbs rather than being within a city, even though setting the movie in a city would bring about more hype within the movie, however setting the original movie in the suburbs was done so that the killings would be more effective as less people would be able to help making it more 'scary' and more tense. The only aspect of the movie that would be chances would be the equipment used, for example the cars, the characteristics of the victims, even though the role of the final girl would still be there to go along with the tradition and the actors who would be old and new characters would be used but well known actors so that more hype would be brought about the movie.
