As with the hivemind, I went with 1982. As an artist, this movie is extremely influential. As a horror movie, it's scary, suspenseful, and a well told story. One of my overall favorite films, from every level.
I've seen the original once, and would like to own it, but it's still not going to hold up to Carpenter's masterpiece.

I picked the 82 version as well. A long time favourite of mine.

8 to 0 for the 1982 version. Good stuff. One of my all time favorite movies.

i'm looking forward to watching the remake then we can do a new poll to see how the new one compares to the 1982 version.

Yeah. It's so hard to say how the new one is. I've heard a lot of bad and a lot of good. Can't wait for the DVD. I have a hard time believing that it's terrible, at the same time I wouldn't put it past Hollywood to ruin it with excessive CGI. Have to wait and see.

yeah, i think it's going to be one of those movies what you have to watch and make your own decision about it.

As a die hard fan of the 1982 version, I think I'll like it. But, I thought the same thing about The Wolfman re-make and I felt that left a lot to be desired. In the queue. Now, it's just the waiting game.

I'll probably own the remake/prequel just because.

Probably rent it. I don't have high hopes for it though. At least I know my 1982 version will forever be awesome.

Yeah, I'll always have that. Still hoping this new one is good, but the hype has all but died...fast. That's not a good sign.

I got to talk to a coworker who is a good horror fan she told me one of the last actual scary movies she watched was the remake or not so remake of the thing she didn't give away anything and didn't try to stop me when I said ill be buying it next week... Just little secret I think the thing does come with a dvd copy when you buy the bluray.

Well, that makes me feel better Tony, at least a little. It'll be here as soon as NetFlix has it. If you're buying it next week then they should have it then too. It says short wait in my queue.
