With 'The Wolfman' on it's way I see a true revival of the Universal monster's the way they should be...not the mockeries we've seen in the past ten years (Van Helsing's Frankenstein anyone?). This got me thinking, why no love for 'The Creature from the Black Lagoon'? True, he's almost laughable today with his antiquated makeup and special FX but I think of all the monster's he'd probably benefit the most from a modern day makeover, and let's go easy on the CGI people, just call Tom Savini and tell him to go to work. I think it's almost sad that we are remaking and reimagining the modern horror icons like Jason and Freddy but no love is given to the one's that started it all. Hopefully Del Toro knocks 'The Wolfman' out of the park (all signs point to yes on that one), and we will see a rush of well crafted, honest re-do's starting with the Black Lagoon's most famous resident. Let's not forget in that same world we have the Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dracula, Frankenstein (we'll see how 'I, Frankenstein' does first), The Invisible Man, and The Mummy who could all do for a true modern day HORROR makeover. NOTE: I'm not including 'Hollow Man' or the Brendan Frasier 'Mummy' movies as these are not horror remakes, I'm looking for soemthing to stay true to the core story.
