I agree entirely. I was given this movie as a joke, and it was surpisingly creepy until the very end. A remake might not be bad thing at all.

A remake will be very interesting.
Usually they take great films and remake them, but because it's impossible to make a better film if the original was so great, the remake is really bad.
But if you take a film that had a good story but was made bad, it's very possible that you'll get a much better remake. -

Yeah, joining the remake posse here, would love to see this movie remade..the end sucks and spoils the movie, wasting what was up till then an excellent idea.
.ah well i wonder who owns the copyright on it now.i may well find outi have this insane idea of writing a sceenplay (i have an idea for a new ending that doesnt suck, but i aint saying what it is) and seeing if anyone will bite. With the quality of most of the movies out these days id be well ahead So with that in mind any ideas who might be good to star in it? .oh..oh..oh, i think id like Asia Argento in it..and im pretty sure im sneaky enough to write the part so it suits her perfectly too..so.anyone else?

Damn! You beat me to the soundtrack. Well If I ask nice enough, will you let me have just the closing credits? I can focus all my efforts into one great piece then.
I wholeheartedly agree that a remake is an excellent idea. You can't remake successful classics (e.g., Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street) and expect them to be hits, but you can improve on a classic's otherwise dismal plot by modernizing it (e.g., House on Haunted Hill, 13 Ghosts) without going overboard. Dark Castle did it smart. Michael Bay is screwing up.
I see this post is a year-and-a-half old. No updates? I'm about to write my own script, then. If my version of the film were the original, its theme would have predated a world-famous one by almost 10 years! Who's with me? -

Copyright my eye, just write a story period, there are no new ideas

I agree like I said before it would work nicely if set in same era or close to it, I usually don't like remakes either but do agree if has great plot then definitely has a better chance bc people won't be comparing the two together, and most people won't even knw it is. A remake!

I can't recall where, but a few years back in which the screenwriter, Louis Garfinkle, said that the producers insisted on the "realistic" ending, rather than his supernatural one. Alas, he didn't go into detail about what that was.
Oops, one of the comments on the movie spells it out. Great ending, much better than the existing one. -

If they could do it where it looked like an older film, not necessarily this old but like House of The Devil really looks like it was made in 70's, even the credits work. Modernized wouldn't work for this script, but if could make it set in an earlier era with the ending being actually supernatural it would, I agree, be much more enjoyable and scary, having a logical ending doesn't make it scary at all, the freaky part is if he could actually kill and bring back people with the map & B&W pins. Having some lunatic grounds keeper going around and killing them is not scary! Real life murders are more horrific so when they make fictionized versions it just does nothing for me. Not scary in the least
