I feel like the remake trend may be going too far after seeing the trailer below for Prom Night.

What was wrong with the old one? All you needed back then was a pun-ful poster and you were set.

Now you gotta set it in a fancy hotel and bring in “teens” who are way too old to pass as high schoolers. The 2008 version looks like a cross between Scream, Carrie, and a CW soap. And why oh why is one of my fave actors from “The Wire” Idris Elba associating himself with this tacky remake?

And what’s this now? Michael Bay, the mastermind behind the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes, is producing a Friday the 13th remake starring Jared Padalecki.

Casting him isn’t that surprising since he’s already starred in the horror remake of House of Wax. So he knows how to play stupid and aloof really well.

But sheesh, can we call a truce on the 80s horror remakes.
