People seem to be astonished that Mel Brooks is attatched to a horror film, but from what Ive gathered from seeing and reading interviews with him, he's a fan of the genre. Not only did he produce The Fly, but Ive heard him mention that he's a fan of Sam Raimi, more specifically, Evil Dead 2. And besides, just look at Young Frankenstein. That film was obviously made as a loving tribute to the genre that spawned the original and everyone knows that his son Max is into horror (World War Z). This could be interesting. ps-R.I.P Harvey Korman
