yeah..or as I have already said in my earlier post that they may have some kinda 'tradition or practice' to maintain the map with the pins. Though I have cast Rufus Sewell for the main role 'Robert' but from the very beginning Sam Neill was in my mind, I think he would perfect for the role if the remake could be made just near or after the time of In the mouth of Madness.

Like
  • from 50's there would be a short length remake of I bury the Living,
  • from 60's there would be a S.L. remake of Diary of a Madman or The Skull (I was bit confused to choose between this two)
  • and finally from 70's there would be a remake of British horror The Asphyx (a pretty interesting story).
And these 3 tales would be told by an old man to his nephew/grand son regarding his personal favorite horror films of his time and as the nephew/grand son haven't seen those movies before so he'd just visualize/imagine those tales of horror films with his present day's scenario or surroundings.

But finally I couldn't make myself convince enough to go for the remakes of such movies that I even haven't seen at all like Diary of a Madman, The Skull and The Asphyx! Moreover, it would be 3 times more pressure for me to answering the challenge that way.

But luckily I found Albert Band's I Bury the Living divided into 8 parts on youtube and loved it for a remake.:)
