nevershine 08/21/17 9:54:40 PM #8:	They baited everyone...they said they were using old school, real life effects....makeup, blood packs/boxes.... They wanted to stay faithful to the John Carpenter version... Somewhere along the way, they decided against it and went with CGI effects... a real turn off for most of the die hard fans.... --- "There are no men like me.

-RetroActive- 08/21/17 10:24:39 PM #9:	apparently they did use animatronics and only CGI'd the stuff that looked too fake, which must've been everything cause it all looked like CGI that's all the more reason to give it a reboot --- I'm always thinking one step ahead, like a carpenter that makes stairs. <cite>-RetroActive- posted [p:885211157] in Why aren't...

Both are good, but the 80s version is a better film for sure. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:885272638] in Why aren't... [t:75695092]...</cite> <quote>The best part of the original is the ending.
