There is actually a 1979 version of 'Casting the Runes' made for TV - it's low budget but still enjoyable though no where near as good as Night of the Demon.
I dunno if a big budget, CGI Monster version of COC would do the story justice. I love the 2005 version of the film, even if it's budget lets it down a little at the end.
Again, I love the original Legend of Hell House though it was a pity that they boiled down the history of Hell House to a couple of lines by Roddy McDowell's character (though they were great lines). Richard Matheson the author of the novel also wrote the screen play, so I wonder what the reasons he had for changes he made from the book. Did he consider his material too explicit for the screen?
Talking of Richard Matheson, a remake of I am Legend that is closer to the source material would be interesting.
