One more thing, if a remake of Legend of Hell House were to be done, it would need to be done by someone who knows when to use restraint, you would could end up having another 'The Haunting' remake, a grossly inappropriate approach to that material. I think some of the Japanese horror film makers would be a better match than most American directors, perhaps with the exception of someone like Ti West. The Japanese seem to have inherited the Val Lewton tradition of restraint and suggestion to build tension, as opposed to vapid attempts to shock with grotesque images and sudden loud noises.
