One of the things that I think is sad is that all horror movies get a bad wrap, and this leaks onto the classics, most of which are actually really good movies.
Halloween is already thought of, outside of horror lovers, as an excessively violent, uncreative, ruthless and thoughtless bloodbath, which it isn't, really. I believe most of that is due to the fact that its sequels have been that way, so people who don't follow horror automatically think of the original this way.
I believe that the remake is just going to put the nail in the coffin; if it garners a bad reputation, this will be tacked on to the (from the general publics' eye) pathetic reputation the film now has.
