As of now, when House of Wax, for example, is mentioned, 85% of people think of Paris Hilton and Chad Michael Murray. That's sad, considering that the true ingenious of the movie, portrayed by Vincent Price long ago, is barely known and almost lost. Most people don't even know that the 2005 release is a remake, for Christ's sake. And that's just one example, it goes for most of them.
So how do you figure a remake doesn't ruin a movie?
I strongly disagree. Strongly.

If someone isn't aware that "House Of Wax 2005" is a remake in the first place, then how does that affect the original? Either way they never knew it existed. At least now someone such as yourself can say "hey, screw that shitty remake, go check out the original". Then maybe you've created a new fan. I don't get where you're coming from here.
As for the mass amount of remakes I, just like everyone else, am completely sick of them. But it's pointless everytime a new one is announced for a new thread to be made with 30 of the same ol' "omgz not another remake fuck hollywood!" replies.
