Brad Fuller Talks ‘Monster Squad’ Remake (http://screenrant.com/monster-squad-remake-brad-fuller-robf-56623/comment-page-1/#comment-600836)
So yeah, it's possible a remake of the '80s flick will hit sometime in the near future and there's some long-winded rants about why it shouldn't happen. Then there idiots voicing their demand for modern monsters like Leatherface and Michael Meyers, who I shouldn't have to remind anyone, are serial killers, not monsters. Monsters are freakish creatures capable of killing but are most often simply misunderstood and killed by hordes of paranoid humans. "Modern monsters" are just a bunch of whack jobs who often target people in their homes at night and are never found much less killed. Often these modern monsters turn out more like Jason or Freddy and simply can't be killed. There's no secret way to kill them like sunlight on Dracula or silver on Wolfman, they just can't be killed. There's no way a remake of Monster Squad can be made featuring a cast of unkillable assholes.
That rant aside, there are some who are willing if not eager to see a remake and some have suggested new faces, new monsters, or at least a modern take on the old monsters. The time of makeup and costume and dramatic flambuoyance is now past.
What say you?
