I was kind of intrigued by the idea of Zombie taking on this kind of material until I read that quote. What the hell is he thinking?

Let me put that into perspective:

I think a couple people have found that "The Thing" was a pretty good movie. Actually many people have said, and I whole-heartedly agree, that The Thing is one of the best horror sci-fi movies ever made right along with Alien.
Can Zombie actually pull off such a feat with The Blob? Maybe. But writing it off just because he's taking something old, updating it, and making it his own at the same time is just plain stupid and very ignorant of what has been done in the past.
