Most of these remakes are not ruining anything genuinely classic. The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance is a true classic and any remake of it would not be worth a fig in comparison.

curious what they'd replace "pilgrim" with. "sjw" maybe.

loled at this summing up of cinema-in-2016 by the guy doing the new pumpkinhead:
There’s a lot of Easter eggs for people who know the original — iconic shots and iconic lines that we’re going to use. But we’ve enhanced the setting, and we’ve expanded the characters somewhat, to give it a different kind of experience.

Never trust a geeky creator who uses the word "iconic" excessively.

iconic shots to appear in remake of pumpkinhead:
1) camera dives into pool w pumpkinhead
2) camera rises thru rafters of theater to reveal pumpkinhead holding nose
3) pumpkinhead stares wistfully at binary sunset
4) pumpkinhead traverses corridor lit by human arms extending from walls holding jack-o-lanterns
5) ape tosses uncultivated squash into air; jump-cut to pumpkinhead

Not the same thing at all, but speaks beautifully to another of the cliches of journalism and press hype around these kinds of movies: http://www.theonion.com/article/candy-land-screenwriter-under-impression-fans-coun-53517
