A list I can pretty much agree with. The comments, not so much and The Ring was shit. That shouldn't make any list except least scary horror villians of all time.

I'd take out House of Wax, King Kong and Amityville Horror. I did like Amityville but I don't think its top 10. I'd have Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead, House on Haunted Hill and The Mummy*. *The Mummy is a remake. The original even had a Mummy named Imhotep. And they had to pay royalties to Karloff's family.

my thread i made is more directed at movies post 2000 and asain remakes

I knew as soon as i saw "of all time" I shouldn't have continued reading...and I can accept about half of those. But the idea that the new King Kong or Amityville mad a best of anything list just can't be possible

amityville remake was zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz dawn of the dead should be no2 easily tcm is good but not a remake,just trading on the name. i loved house of wax

Where is Cape Fear??

THE THING... such a timeless classic... And a remake! hahaha.

Okay. I have to agree with thegardian86. House of Wax, King Kong, and the Amityville horor were mediocre at best. I also think that Dawn of the Dead was a Dissapointment. I don't point fingers about DoTD, because there is really no way to best the original. I also have to disagree with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. You can't better that either. The reamake was a shitty attempt. Sorry. The Blob???? Fuck the original and the remake. Stupid premise. Stupid movies all around.

Sorry!!! THE THING, THE FLY, and THE HILLS HAVE EYES. FUCKING AWSOME!!!!!

House of Wax and Texas Chainsaw Massacre were terrible; I can't say I agree with you on that. Also The Ring should not be so high in the list, it was not scary at all...The Fly and The Thing however I completely agree with - both are brilliant films...and I was very impressed with DOTD which I admit, I also was against the film before I saw it but upon viewing was pleasantly surprised!

Now Everybody Knows That The Hills Remake is Better Than The Texsas Crap Remake

"House Of Wax" sucks.

pretty fair list, The Thing is easily number 1 but The Amityville Horror and Ring remakes...naa, and the blob should be a little further down the list

I loved most of those, but I hated the Ring.. and basically all Japanese horror, so I'm biased. But good call on number 1. The Thing is fucking classic! I'd have added Night of the Living Dead 90 to my list, but hey.. that's just me. Good list ;)

The Ring sucks and I hate when other people like it.

House of Wax gets on yet Invasion of the Body Snatchers doesn't?

It's interesting to see how the opinions of people are so clearly split between those who enjoy watching a good horror movie and those who have an appreciation for the technical aspects of good film making. I think the list is spot-on!

The top 10 horror remakes of all time includes a few completely shitty movies, a handful of mediocre movies, one movie that shouldn't be classified as a "horror remake" thrown on here just to add "cred" to the list, and 2, count em', 2 genuinely good movies. Yeah, that sounds about right. I think this article makes a pretty good point as to why horror remakes in general, are bad.

Kong is great and has tons of replay value, TCM 03 is dire, Amityville 05 is dogshit (to list those two and not body snatchers is horrible) and The Thing isn't a remake.

cape fear was a remake?.....i agree with this list....never did see the fly have to gte it on netflix since my local video store closed down.

Fun list! I like it and agree with most of the picks personally. I never was a big fan of The Blob though. I'll replace it with 13 Ghosts. I know, most people hated it... but I just sort of liked that movie.

I loved King Kong. I really dig the ring also. That's right. I did. I would say that the fly is better than the thing... although the thing is great. The Fly is a fantastic character based movie, where as it's the situation that sells the Thing. The Fly is nearly heartbreaking, and the thing, while excellent and paranoid and skin crawling as it is doesn't hit me the way the fly does. Hills and TCM I thought were mediocre at best. Good for a view or so, but once the shock wears off there isn't much substance left.

I agree with the Thing in firt position. TTCM, amityville, hill have eyes were fun to watch in theater. The second view is not worth it in video, cause beyond the surprise there's nothing. But the Ring sucked man...

The Ring, TCM, House of Wax, and Kong were terrible. There had to be a few others that are better than them. Besides that the rest were pretty spot on. I was shocked.

amityville sucked, Cape Fear should definitely be on there

The ones that I agree with: House Of Wax Hills Have Eyes Amityville Horror Texas Chainsaw Dawn Of The Dead The Thing The Fly

Must make MrDisgusting upset to never get any Diggs on his lists. Afterall it is the only reason to do random lists like this. Fummy how "The 17 Greatest Horror Movie Weapons Ever" from another site made it to Digg page one. Maybe next time...

I'd put the Hitcher on there for the "I'm fucking horny too!" line alone...

Not very good. What about Invasion of the Body Snatchers 78? No way in hell House of Wax or Amityville are the better movies. Even Body Snatchers was better than those 2. Also no Night of the Living Dead? What about the Vincent Price version of House of Wax? Yes that was a remake of Mystery of the Wax Museum. I found a lot of the remakes listed fait enough movies, except The Ring didn't care for it, but I understand why so many people did so I'm not shcoked it made it. House of Wax and Amityville were fair I suppose, but top 10 remakes of all time? A lot of people trash remakes, but if you look over the history of the genre, you'll find some really good ones and ones far better than a lot of the movies listed

The 70's Invasion of the body snatchers is better than 2/3's of those.

agree with the thing, and dawn of the dead, but house of wax and the blob? wtf????

House of wax, TCM and the ring are all HORRIBLE remakes! Can't believe these made the list.

What about The Night of The Living Dead remake? I think it's better then most of the coices up there. Im glad to see The Thing is number one , i dont even think the grudge should on here though

I can agree with most of this except for Amityville, TCM, and House of Wax...those 3 weren't good movies in general let alone remakes.

I agree with most that is listed, but I can't agree to any movie with Paris Hilton in it and King Kong was terrible you can blame Jack Black for that!! I enjoyed the TCM and Amityville.

This is a great list. I agree with it with the exception of one film; House of Wax should be replaced by Rob Zombie's Halloween. Rob should get huge props for going after that one. The original Halloween is as sacred as Jaws or The Exorcist - that took serious balls to remake and it and he showed respect for the original when he did - it wasn't some shameless attempt as easy money catered to the under 17 crowd like so many others have been recently. For the people who want Cape Fear on there I don't really think it is classified as a horror movie - probably more of a thriller. I agree it's a great movie but I don't think it's horror. The Amityville Horror movies I never really liked because the original and the remake both focused on the supposed ghost sightings in that house which the Lutz's admitted later that they made the story up just to get out of living there. I wish they would make a movie about the real murders which took place in that house before they moved in - that would make for a better (and scarier) movie. But I agree it was a good remake as far as remakes go. As far as the people here complaining about TCM remake; the remake had the disturbing elements and really went out of it's way to creep us out. The only element that was missing is that the original almost looked like some kind of weird snuff film - which is one of the reasons it was so effective. The remake only missed on that one thing but I think it busted it's ass to scare us otherwise. Otherwise the list is great - and The Thing definitely deserves to be on top. It actually is way better than the original.

The Thing as #1 definitely makes sense but I would also have included Savini's Night of the Living Dead. That was brilliant.

TCM boring now!? WTF!!! I'd trade Saivni's Night of the Living Dead remake over House of Wax or The Amityville Horror, even though I did (somewhat) like them.

I wouldn't put Halloween on the list, but at least it's better than lukewarm remakes like House of Wax, Amityville Horror, and the TCM remake! And the Dark Castle remakes aren't that bad!!! They are fun movies to watch (especially around Halloween). And what's with King Kong? That flick is only good for at least one or two viewings. Also, The Blob and The Fly were on there, but they couldn't fit Cape Fear and Invasion of the Body Snatchers '78??? And I don't know if they deserve to be on the list, but The Grudge and The Hitcher weren't too bad.

"HOUSE OF WAX"? Awww, c'mon! I guess you have to kinda old to remember all of the excellent and sometimes superior remakes that Hammer Films did in their heyday.... If Hammer hadn't come along who knows where we'd be with horror movies, right now. Just watch Lugosi's DRACULA and then compare it to HORROR OF DRACULA...yes, Hammer remade most of Universal's Horrors with great success, added color, good scripts, excellent acting and sexy babes...today they seem to be remaking so many horrors because of CGI or added violence....

Savini's NOTLD wasn't that good. And to be perfectly honest, I don't get the original TCM. I thought it was kind of obnoxious. Long dark shots of him chasing the heroin through the woods where you can't see anything saturated with the girls ear-scraping screams and wimpers. Bad acting...at no point (with the exception of leatherfaces little dance at the end) was I either scared or entertained. I can understand that the original TCM was one of the first to use the approach that it did, but that doesn't make it good. The remake at least entertained me.

The ring sucks. House of Wax wasn't that good. Other than that list was good.

How is The Ring ahead of The Fly??? I can't even take this list seriously.

How is The Ring ahead of The Fly??? I can't even take this list seriously.

I seriously think THE HILLS HAVE EYES is totally unappreciated in the remakes. That's probably the ONLY horror remake I can honestly say that I love more than the original. THE FLY and THE THING should've been tied for first, and I do agree that Tom Savini's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD should've been in this list.

Pretty good list. I agree with most of the choices, but I think The Ring is a little too high. But yeah, The Thing is without a doubt the best re-make of all time.

The Thing deserves it's place. The Fly and The Blob should've been hirer than The Ring. Some of the others weren't really that good. I agree, Savini's NOTLD remake was awesome.

"This was the hardest list to compile, specifically because I don't even like all ten of the films listed below... in my opinion there aren't even ten spectacular remakes. So what you'll find below is a list of the ten best remakes, which doesn't necessarily mean GOOD." Since you don't like them or don't think they're good movies, did you just throw 10 random remakes together and call it a list?

House of Wax? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Amityville Horror? The Ring? .... what a joke! I do, however, agree with The Thing, The Blob, The Fly and THHE.

Totally missed Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978). That could've replaced House of Wax for sure.

Ah yes, and Cape Fear.

Agree with The Thing being #1 though :)

Alex Aja's The Hills Have Eyes wasn't even CLOSE to being a shot-for-shot remake.

No "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"? That should FOR SURE be on here! I can only agree with "The Thing" at no. 1 and maybe with "The Fly" (but I probably would have placed it lower). The rest are utter shit. And why is "king kong" even on this list?

THE THING!!! Absofuckinlutely perfect! It is in fact the best remake ever! Though Texas Chainsaw was far from perfect, I know some people really liked it. What's with you Ring haters? You all loved it when it came out I bet. You're just backpeddling cause of the hype it had. Now it's one of those 'it's cool to say I don't like it' films. Same shit happened for Blair Witch, the difference is The Ring is flawless horror/suspense greatness. Better than Ringu, ya I said it!

But ya, where's Body Snatchers? (he probably just missed it by accident, no worries)

I would have put hills have eye alot higher didn't like the ring thought it was really boring couldn't stand the house of wax remake I would have even though it would tick off alot of people on here but who cares rob zombie halloween on the list. Probably would have put hills have eyes remake at 1 at rob zombies halloweeen at 2 on my list.

why do all of u hate house of wax and tcm? any movie that has a killer chasing a hot girl(jessica Beil and Elisha Cuthbert) around is awesome. I rather watch those than something like saw or hostel. I think King Kong should be taken off because that wasnt even a horror. replace king kong with halloween.

Considering how far the original strayed from the source material, I've never really thought of "The Thing" as a remake. "... Body Snatchers" was better than most on this list. TCM? Awful.

Hell Yeah House Of Wax!!!!!

what about The Rage?! obviously it was a remake of The Birds

So the pic used for the hills have eyes. I have the unrated version of the dvd and I never remember seeing this part. Anyone know what the deal is?

Come on D. You've seen more films than this, why are most of them from the past decade? No Nosferatu? No Ghost Story of Yotsuya?

Also no Bodysnatchers?! Terrible list.

'The Thing' is a great horror film, but it's not a remake. Another adaptation of the short story 'Who Goes There?'. 'The Fly' should have been number 1! Yes to 'The Hills Have Eyes' (better than Craven's), 'TCM', 'House OF Wax' & 'Dawn Of The Dead'. What about the 70's & 90's 'Body Snatchers' remakes? Please put 'The Invasion' in the worst list! Also, I would have had Zombie's 'Halloween'. But that's just me! I know you're saving that for the worst of all time list, MR D!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044121/ doesn't this mean The Thing IS a remake? why are people saying it's not?

Because it's not.

House of Wax - r u nuts???? What about: Invasion of the Body Snatchers House on Haunted Hill Evil Dead 2

the original "the Thing" was ib black and White - John Carpenter's is a remake - no debate

"BOOO HOOO HOOO.. all remakes suck... BOOO HOOO HOOO... originals are always the best... BOOO HOOO HOOO! GIVE ME A FUCKIN BREAK! the Original versions of Amityville Horror, Hills Have Eyes, The Blob, The Fly and The Thing all sucked ass! so give me a fuckin break!

the original thing was called "the thing from another planet" carpenter remade it with his own touches like zombie did with halloween which should be on the list

THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. Yeah right. It's every bit as bad as THE FOG remake.

I agree Amityville should not even be on the list other than that the list is an A+ for me. King Kong, The Blob, and House of Wax finally get the respect they deserve and get placed with The Ring, The Fly, The Thing, and Dawn of the Dead. Wonder if next year Funny Games (2008) will be on this list? That will 3 Naomi Watts Films!!!

I didn't care for the remakes of HOUSE OF WAX or AMITYVILLE HORROR .... but I did enjoy the remakes of 13 GHOSTS and HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL [notice I did not include the remake of THE HAUNTING as that was a cgi disaster]! Here's a challenge - A TOP 10 LIST OF HORROR SEQUELS ! ~(^)~

You can't even come up with 10 remakes you consider good yet you want the Nightmare on Elm St. remake? Think about it.

Here are my favorite remakes, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville horror, Insomnia, King Kong, Dark Water, Dawn of the Dead, Halloween, The ring the thing, and the Invasion of the body snatchers, the first remake.

top 10 worst The Hitcher The Grudge When a stranger calls The ring two The grudge 2 The invasion The hills have eyes two The omen Pulse and the worst remake, Psycho!!!

The Ring was good but noway a beter movie then The Fly.Ammityville was better then the original,The Thing is spot on at number one. TCM 2003 was too generic and where the hell is Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers 78?. My top 10:- 1)The Thing 2)The Fly 3)Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers 4)King Kong 5)The Ring 6)Dawn Of The Dead 7)Bram Stoker's Dracula 8)Horror Of Dracula 9)The Grudge 10)Tied-House Of Wax/Ammityville

Don't agree with everything on the list, but at least he had the deceny to leave Zombieween off the list.

What about Black Christmas, Dracula, or Cat People. I also liked the remake of SHE-CREATURE with Carla Gugino and Rufus Sewell which was I believe originally aired on Showtime. And YES, I did like Black Christmas!

I have to agree with House of Wax Dawn of the Dead TCM The Hills Have eyes I clearly cant see why these are above top 5 bcos they are a lot better than the Blob and The Ring remake.

the ring was a piece of shit movie.

The Thing wasnt a re-make?? whoever posted that is retarded...anyhoo,I can live with the no.1 pick,not a bad choice at all,ppl just need to get their facts straight before they post...

Was R. Zombie's Halloween considered a "re-vision" instead of a "re-make"? That deserved mention somewhere on this list. Didnt care for most of list, but I agree w/The Thing's rating.

I would remove "Amityville Horror", "The Ring", "King Kong" and "TCM" and replace them with "Invasion of The Body Snatchers", "Night of The Living Dead", "When A Stranger Calls" (come on, it was a HUGE improvement over the borefest original!) and "Sisters". -RHR

I would agree in taking out The Ring, Amityville and King Kong. What about Halloween, I know it wasn't considered a pure remake but Rob Zombie did an amazing job and it should be on this list. The Ring wasn't even scary and King Kong only looks better thanks to the wonderful world of technology. Amityville was okay.. as hot as Ryan Reynolds is.. it's basically him shirtless the entire time.

I understand that everyones got diffrent tastes and all... as well as to each his own... but house of wax!?!?! REALLY!?!?!? Halloween was definetly a lot better than that... Hell, the remake of salems lot was a lot better than that!

I can tell you what the worst remake of all time was - Douglas Buck's Sister's

The Ring didn't just kick start Japanese horror. It was the first quality American horror movie made for awhile during that time. This board seems like it has a lot of stupid people on it.

I know I'm alittle late with this but all were good idea's but the ring really sucked, H O W paris gettin killed nuff said, TCM was graphic, sorry the beginnig was graphic, kong was nice to look at, hills brutal ,dawn was great ,amytiville was creepy the boat house scene,now for the fly and the blob both were ground breakin with the fx for the time and the thing is was and will be in a catagory all by it's lonesome it's what we all look for in a movie

THE THING ABSOLUTELY FUCKIN' ROCKED! AND IF THERE IS A RUMOR OF ANOTHER REMAKE, THAT'LL SUCK BIG TIME, DON'T MESS WITH THIS MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll respond in the same list as Mr. D. Houe of Wax - I really enjoyed this film, I'm a fan of Chad Michael Murray and the fact Paris Hilton got her skull gored through by a large pipe is brilliance in every aspect. The Hills Have Eyes - I also enjoyed this movie, as well as the sequel. I'm looking forward to the third installment. Movies like this never get boring in my book, granted they're the same premise but the gore and storytelling is what sets them apart. Amityville Horror - I'm a huge Ryan Reynolds fan and he did a great job in this film. The scenes where he was talking to himself and spazzing were great. King Kong - I honestly have not sat all the way through this flick. I adore Jack Black and Adrien Brody but the forty-five minutes I saw of this film almost made me sick. I'm sure I'll eventually sit down and watch it, just no time soon. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre - I've enjoyed every film put out in the Massacre series, minus The Next Generation, and look forward to any others they do. They constantly get good actors and the delivery is genuinely good. Dawn of the Dead - Once again, a film I highly enjoyed. Mekhi Phifer and Ving Rhames were both tremendous in their roles and I have to agree with Mr. D, you can never go wrong with a zombie baby. The Blob - I saw this many years ago and I can honestly say I was bored to tears. I can rightfully understand why people enjoy it, but I myself found it to be extremely dull. The Fly - As big a movie buff as I am I've never seen this film. I'm a Jeff Goldblum fan, too. Jesus, I need to rent this. The Ring - Good acting, nice uneasy feel to it but holds no water next to the original. Although I did enjoy this movie, it's nothing more than a popcorn flick. The Thing - Excellent movie, nothing else can be said. The game that came out for the PS2 was good as well. Also, to the user that said it wasn't a remake and to anyone else that doesn't think so, it is indeed a remake. John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) is a remake of Howard Hawks' The Thing from Another World (1951). All in all, good job on the list Mr. D.

Please do not respond to other users comments here, that's what the forums are for! Instead just leave your comments on the article itself. ALL OTHER COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED! that's what it says right befor my post i just thought it was funny b/c almost every post is about another user, so this must be a joke...anyways. King Kong is not Horror. Please stop bringing this shit into horror. That's an insult to the genre and our intelligence so please stop it with this shit. Kong was a great movie and a great remake but you said horror remakes...come on now man you're looking desperate. You should have been ballsy enough to put the Halloween remake in there. it got a ton of criticism but who cares. it was more entertaining than a lot of the films in your list. it can't compare to the original but it's still a better movie than almost half your list. house of wax was ok, and i can see that being there. Hills was amazing. it was the most disturbing movie i have seen in a long time, b/c of the family and the torture they went through with a ton of cinncanatti slicking gore. The sequel sucked. amityville good movie deserved to be on the list. Texas Chainsaw was awesome. I agree with your comments. they were perfect. Dawn of the Dead was amazing. Good job there. The blob was a shitty movie. Shitty plot. Shitty movie. It was garbage. the fly and the thing were pieces of artwork. they were just amazing. the acting like you said in the Fly was incredible. The thing was just one of the most entertaining movies ever.the ring was a great. i wouldn't go see the movie for the first month it was out. if i would have not saw it in the theatre and waited for it on dvd i would have shot myself. It scared and gave me a feeling none of these other movies did, but i can see someone not finding it scary. The thing about horror is what scares me, might not scare someone else, and this movie wasn't about gore or sadistic scenes of torture. It wanted to scare you and it scared me. There i admitted it. the only movie to scare me in almost ten years and it was an 8 year old girl. Sorry for being a pussy. So in conclusion, take out the blob and Kong and add Halloween and let's i'm going to have to think about the next one. Hell i'd put the made for TV remake of the Shining. I know steven weber isn't Jack but i liked it. Too cheesy of an ending, but horror needs happy endings sometimes. oh wait the hitcher. yeah i liked the hitcher more. 10 house of wax 9 Mentally ill from Amittyville 8 the fly gasp i called it art than i put it at 8. Is it horror? great movie but come on people we are horror fans damn it. lets find our inner serial killer again. blood, guts, lots of murders. criticize me. 7 hitcher crazy guy, good kills, good shit 6 Dawn of the Dead great movie but i like serial killers more than zombies, but i still loved it 5 Halloween Crucify baby i liked it, but not the original. Rob did a couple of things i didn't like. for one he made michael human and a product of his own enviroment. bad homelife so he loses it. and then he wants to befriend his sister again and not kill her right away. made him human and the best line in any horror movie is when donald pleasance(dr.loomis) referrs to him as pure evil. whew i nut myself everytime i hear that line. still very entertaining enjoyed it. 4 the thing i mean great movie but it all boils down to its more sc-fi horror and i more horror horror if you know what im saying , but dont get me wrong amazing. I it was an overall better movie but i personally enjoyed the others more. Im getting butchered for this one i know. 3 Texas Chainsaw- loved it! the beginning set the mood like a son of a bitch. she pulled the gun from her ginar i mean shit man that's distrubing. and the part where it shows them screaming and it shows the hole through her head. Loved it! Build up of leatherface coming out the sliding door debuting that chainsaw for the first time in the movie. with a nice chop block on that guy's leg. Cryptkeeper joke- chop block-ha ha anyways great movie nuff said. 2 The Ring Scared me. sorry. it got me. and the story was good and i just simply was scared and i dont scare easy i swear. once again personal opinion. 1 Hills- best horror movie i have seen in a long time. i needed this movie. the family praying together really set the mood for a disturbing film. the family had to see their dad burn alive.then the mother's death and then the guy seeing his wife, the mother of his child, getting her head blown off practically. and the girl getting raped. and then the dude goes nuts and rapes the rest of the family of freaks. omg it was bliss. so there's my take. i like your list overall but remember blob blows and kong isn't horror. god man that bothers me you put that on there. Kong...jeese.

I hope I don't sound like an ass for saying this, but the list does say HORROR remakes, right? THE THING, THE BLOB and THE FLY are Science Fiction....KING KONG is FANTASY.... Just because something is a little scary doesn't make it HORROR...

I agree on a whole with the Top Ten Remakes with the exception of House of Wax. I agree with the few on here about The Invasion. It was a great update and was kept fresh by splicing the political times we live in.

This list just sucks, period!!!

Guys, some of you are missing the point here. The title of the list is "the Top 10 Horror Remakes of All-Time!". It doesn't say top ten horror movies of all time. It's not a comparison of Movie ranked number 1 is better than movie ranked number 5 , it's about comparing the remake of a movie to its original. So, for example if "the Thing" is at no. 1 it simply means that compared to its original, Mr. D found it a better remake compared to for example "House Of Wax" remake at number 10. this is taking into account the technical aspects of the film between the original and the sequel.

The Thing was a GREAT! GREAT! re-make. I agree on the most part but amityville BLEW, and "body snatchers!" not even a mention! Really.

The Fly and Dawn Of The Dead should have been Numbers 2 & 3.

The Thing is one of the best genre movies period, remake or not. The Fly was also very good. NOTLD '90 deserves a place, over say King Kong as it has never really been a 'horror' film. It's always been much more of a sci-fi adverture film. Ditto with those campaigning for The Mummy remake. It's not a horror film, it's an Indiana Jones knockoff. Of course, it could be argued that both the Fly and The Thing are more sci-fi than horror, but try to find someone that doesn't have The Thing on their 'best horror movies ever' list. Unless they are lame or have no historical perspective, it's on every list.

why is texas chainsaw massacre on here. it's the worst remake ever and started the remake craze. so apparently you don't know what you're talking about. down with platinum dunes fucking stupid

King Kong where the hell did that come from? Although it was an incredible remake I would say it was in the wrong genre. And WTF is with the ring that movie blew. I fell asleep watching it. Where is the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead, that was far superior to the original. And what about body sanchers, that was a pretty good remake. Does it count as a remake if the original creator of the story makes their version of it. If so, there is Mary Shellys Frankenstein, and Steven Kings Shining to consider

Oh and dont forget Willard

The House of Wax and the Amityville Horror? Are you fucking serious or are you just playing a joke? The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was okay, but Leatherface was way too striaght in the remake.

I agree with the list, predominantly. The THING was/is awesome and deserves to be no. 1. As is the Fly and Dawn of the Dead. I liked the other movies on the list, With the exceptions, King Kong, The Blob and House of Wax. Although they are watchable movies, they dont belong on this horror remake list. I would replace "House of Wax" with "Night of the living dead '90", "King Kong" would be replaced by "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" and "The Blob" replaced by Rob Zombies "Halloween". Good list overall though.

How can you leave off Invasion Of The Body Snatchers??? That movie is a masterpiece. I agree with The Thing, The Fly, Hills Have Eyes and Dawn Of The Dead.....but the rest are shiat!!!!!

INVASION OF THE BOSY SNATCHERS [1978 version with Donald Sutherland + Veronica Cartwright] improved on the 1956 original, but whoever decided to remake it again into both BODY SNATCHERS [1993] and THE INVASION [2007] deserve to be bitch slapped and fired from their jobs !!! Tobe Hoober's INVADERS FROM MARS [1986 remake of the 1953 original] deserves mention for updating beyond what we thought was scary in the 50's !!! 13 GHOSTS was one of the best William Castle adaptions from Dark Castle [better than the campy original]!!! I <3 John Carpenter's version of THE THING [everything worked in that movie]!!!! ~(^)~

great list!

Love this whole list!

i would say (in no particular order) 1. the ring 2. the hills have eyes 3. the thing 4. the fly 5. house on haunted hill 6. dawn of the dead 7. night of the living dead 8. texas chainsaw massacre 9. invasion of the body snatchers (78) 10. i can't even think of anything else

Uh...isn't that picture from THE THING upside down?

The Ring was a comedy! I thought it was laughable... actually I did laugh through most of it. Other than that, pretty good list. Although, I disagree with the overwhelming hate toward Rob Zombie's Halloween on this site. That should be on this list!

King-Kong? Are you serious? That movie is only scary in concept.

I was looking forward to the TCM remake, but wasn't all that impressed by it. It really lacked the edginess of the original. I did, however, LOVE the prequel to the remake. The prequel reignited my love for horror flicks...

I liked the list, but I do think House on Haunted Hill could have made it; I thought it was an excellent remake. Geoffrey Rush even seemed to exude a Vincent Price aura, lol! And while I have not seen the original Japanese version of The Ring, I thought it sucked and ushered in a bunch of silly, lame "thrillers". The Grudge anyone? Ick. I do think though, that The Ring had a scary and promising concept. It was just mashed to crap under a very slow moving, cataclysmically boring film. At any rate, I think the list was pretty decent. :)

Dude hate 2 break it 2 ya but King Kong is not a horror movie and has never been a horror movie. But the others ROCK!

Very good list. Not king Kong, most definatley not horror. House of Wax, The Ring, Dawn Of The Dead, TCM, Hills Have Eyes and Amityville I agree with. Overall a good list.

Ok, I've got major issues about this list. #1 KING KONG IS NOT HORROR!!!! #2 House of Wax? Come on paris hilton getting killed was the only thing that made me giggle like a 3 year old. Otherwise it "wasn't hot!" #3 How come the new Halloween is not on the list? Seriously... "house of crap" made the list but bombed in theatres, Halloween was fantastic and doesn't get at least an honorable mention? I think they need a list of top 10 ill-thought lists. nuff said

HOUSE OF WAX? What the hell were You thinking?! I'm sorry but the movie sucked donkey balls!!!

ok,some remakes are good.but,what about the classic's that's never been remade.and could they ever be any better than the orginal.last week i saw in a target store,the h.p. lovecraft classic,FROM BEYOND.for a long time this classic was not avaible.i strongley checking it out !

WTF i mean the thing,the blob,the fly,KING KONG i mean those are remakes but common the first three i mentioned are way to old and king kong isnt even horror and the list of worst horror remaked films should be burned and stab a hundred times for being so dumb.

The ring sucked. I don't know why people like that piece of anis.

I agree with The Thing as being the best remake of all time. I don't understand why House Of Wax was on the list.

What's 'House of Wax' doing on that list? A classic Vincent Price film remade into a slasher movie with Paris Hilton. What the--? 'The Fly' deserves to be number one. There's no way 'The Ring' deserves to be even in the top five. And where's the 1978 remake of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers'? How about the Terence Fisher remake of 'The Mummy' or 'Dracula' or 'Frankenstein'?

hated the ring king kong bored the crap out of me and did not enjoy house of wax at all but i think the hills have eyes is actually the best remake ever

CAPE FEAR only thing really missing... and maybe Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The Ring, King Kong and Amityville Horror (Amityville Horror 2: the Possession was the best of Any of these flicks) all belong on the WORST list.

Tom Savini's Night of the Living Dead???

This is a pretty rockin' list. I might've put Savini's Living Dead in there over the Blob, or Jackson's Kong (which I would consider more adventure/fantasy, however, the original King Kong was definitely a horror classic - people were freaked out when it came out). So glad no one mentioned Halloween, Dracula,the Shining,the Wicker Man, or Godzilla.

House of Wax (remake) was a load of tripe. There's no way it can be on a "Best of ..." list in any way, shape, or form. It's on my "Worst Remake of a Horror Film ... EVER" list. In fact, it's close to #1 on THAT list! It has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the original. It can't even be really called a remake in that respect. The death of Paris Hilton, while funny, couldn't even save it. Give me ANYTHING else ... please. Invasion of the Body Snatchers, any of the ".. of the Dead" movies. I'll even take House on Haunted Hill. It's also a load of tripe, but at least it had a semblance of the original and gave a shout out to Vincent Price fans by ACTUALLY having Mr. Price. That character was quite the direct copy of Vincent himself!

i belive the grudge should be on here

I love reading these lists and the comments to see how passionate some people get over another persons opinion. I hated House of Wax, but other than that I can see why the others were there. I'm a big fan of Aja's work so Hills would have been numero uno on my list. Dawn of the Dead would probably have been higher too. That movie gets more badass every time I see it.

My favourite remake is House of wax, then tcm. i love remakes

poo

The Ring should not be on here. Add Halloween and eventually Friday the 13th can be added too.

I think this list was kinda stupid because first kink kong is not horror, second the fly, the blob and the thing i mean those movies are good but please they are damned too old so they shouldnt be here oh well so heres my list of the best 15 remakes of all time. 15.Shutter 14.House Of Wax 13.The Hitcher 12.The Omen 11.The Grudge 10.The Eye 9.Night Of The Living Dead(Tom Sanvini Version) 8.Dawn Of The Dead 7.The Ring 6.Funny Games 5.The Amityville Horror 4.When A Stranger Calls 3.The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.Halloween 1.The Hills Have Eyes

I'm not going to complain about this list since I have not seen all of the movies on it. (Although, personally, I would have put Dawn of the Dead higher up the list.) To those of you who think The Thing was not a remake. It was in fact a remake of the 1951 The Thing from Another Planet with James Arness (Marshall Dillon from Gunsmoke fame) as the titular creature.

i loveddd the hills have eyes! the acting, the scenes, the brutality, it was all there!

Very Cool list. But the hills have eyes deserve a better place on the list.

great list and c'mon you guys! House of wax deserved to be on there, just for the fact you see Paris Hilton die on screen now that is gold!! I agree with The Hills have Eyes as having watched the original I think the remake was able to be that more harsher. Also The Ring whilst ok-ish is not a patch on the original and should have not graced this list at all! Other than that some great remakes on the list. Thanks you Bloody-D!

1.the thing 2.rob zombie's halloween 3.texas chainsaw massacre 4.the fly 5.the blob 6.dawn of the dead 7.the hills have eyes 8.house on haunted hill 10.the amityville horror

The Thing deserved the first place and the people who say that it's not a remake is wrong beacuse it is a remake of The thing from another world from 1951.

You're missing all of the pre-Nicole Kidman Invasion of the Body Snatcher films and The House on Haunted Hill (To suggest House of Wax is better, well that's just why I ignore the official reviewers on this site). And let's get over it people, the original Halloween is dull. Rob Zombie's remake is a much better film. Not a 5 or 4-star film, but an okay way to kill time making it still better than the original. I applaud the fan reviewers on this site for defending this movie.

I agree with this list totally. And TCM i had that same exact feeling. I think you should do this list again in about 3-5 years. There will be plenty to choose from then. (Im almost positive that the new Friday the 13th will top this list in the future!)

i can agree to most of the list, fairly solid. But.... Rob Zombies Halloween is a must!!!!!

Of the films I have seen on this list. I completely disagree with you. Other than Dawn of the DEad (which is better than the original). House of Waax, The Hills Have Eyes, and THe Ring were below average in my opinion.

only three films that have been remakes have been better than the original, the thing, the fly, and the blob. glad to see they're on here.

Love a lot of these

awesome list

hi guys, what a great list up there, i might have a different view, here are my selection for best horror remakes: 1. dawn of the dead 2005 2. halloween 2007 3. the thing 1982 4. the fly 1986 5. hills have eyes 2007 6. texas chainsaw massacre 2005 7. the blob 1988 8. the mummy 1999 9. war of the world 2006 10.night of the living dead 1991

Good list but THE RING one of the scariest horrors recently? It was one of the most boring and more of a family film than a horror!

I should go watch The Thing, again...

Where's the remake of House on Haunted Hill? That was a great movie, though very different from the Vincent Price chiller. Return to House on Haunted Hill sucked royally. 13 Ghosts sucked, so I'm glad its not on the list.The Thing was great, and very close to the intent of the original novelette.I'm glad to see that. King Kong (1985) sucked and still sucks. The new King Kong (Peter Jackson's) does not suck and should be on the list.

I should have also said that House of Wax sucked big time. How can you even mention that remake in the same list with the Thing?

I'm sorry, have you all lost your damn minds? You put on a list of Top 10 Horror Remakes of All-Time, ALL-TIME and you choose the abyssmal 2005 version of House of Wax over the brilliant masterpiece of...(wait for it)...House Of Wax from 1953. That's right morons, House of Wax (1953) IS A REMAKE of The Mystery Of The Wax Museum. Other remakes you missed that should have replaced half your list are: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) - a remake of the 1920 version, and if you doubt it's greatness, explain the OSCAR FOR BEST ACTOR to one Frederick March as Jekyll/Hyde. Oh, and way to overlook two of Hammer's greatest films, The Curse Of Frankenstein which introduced a brand new and brilliant take on Victor Frankenstein from an actor you may remember from Star Wars, that's right, Grand Mof Tarkin himself, Peter Cushing and The Horror Of Dracula which introduced the world to one ass-kicking version of the Count thanks to Christopher Lee. You left off 1979's Nosferatu. How can you possibly justify the Amytiville remake as better than that? 1978's Invasion of the Body Snatchers was brilliant,an amazing take on the classic '50's film, and don't try to weasel out by calling it science-fiction, that was a horrific portrayal of a world falling to an alien threat. And while the last one I thought of isn't even that strong, 1982's Cat People should at least get mentioned. Certianly it's better than 2005's House of Wax. Exceptionally disappointing list. I come here for intelligent information and discussion of horror, not pathetic attempts that think remakes started in 1982. Up your game.

i agree with kaiju0,and why so many hater's of ring remake,thats the only good one of a japaneese one

halloween should be number 1 it was miles better than the original

I think the list is good but Halloween is better than most of them.The Ring and House of wax aren't on my list.Friday the 13th could be there as well as the Wizard Of Gore.The Thing number one for sure though.

Cool list, The Hills Have Eyes belong way higher up on it though.
