I think consistency is good in certain ways. We like it to continue on sometimes. Like Halloween 2, Evil Dead 2, and Phantasm 2 (and the rest of the series is a continuation). They all started where the other left off and we got to see the same characters again. It makes more sense if we can keep learning more about the main characters and how they fit into the story than to do installments like many in the iconic slasher films (Halloween 3+, Friday the 13th 3+) They are just new people and the body count is high with no real added elements or something to keep it cohesive to why all these people are relative to the killer/monster/ghost/dead and the story. I think that is why other filmmakers do set out to remake the iconic films. All the irrelevant sequels seem to bog them down. Its generally refreshing with good remakes to make the icons scary again, whereas if the series kept it consistent and stopped at the right place then that doesn't happen. That's my take on that.
Interesting post. :)
