Jordan Peele's Nope is already being hailed as one of the best horror movies of 2022, and while fans are loving the new take on sci-fi horror, they are still looking to the past for the next blockbuster horror movie.

While the horror genre is notorious for revisiting and reworking films that have already been done, not every reboot has gotten the story right, and some horror classics haven't gotten a second chance at popularity. Horror lovers have sounded off on Reddit about their favorite horror stories and whether their favorite movies should get another chance on the big screen and streaming.

The Shining (1980)

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining terrified audiences when it was released in theaters. However, some Redditors think the psychological horror/thriller needs a remake. Redditor JohnLocke815 said, "I'd love an accurate R-rated The Shining. I'm not a fan of Kubrick's movie; I feel it strayed too far from the book."

While this is widely regarded as an unpopular opinion, some fans agree, mainly because they want to see the movie in theaters again, and Stephen King didn't like Kubrick's version. With the technology and effects of 2022, the film could be even more terrifying than the first edition.

Silent Hill (2006)

Silent Hill has one of the scariest horror movie characters ever. The films were based on the popular horror video game, and while they were terrifying, fans weren't totally happy with the final product and wanted a better remake.

Redditor parfumbabe said," SH1, the movie wasn't awful, but for fans of SH, it was a slap in the face. The guy who made it wanted to after just playing a few hours of sh and found it creepy. He made a film based on what he thought it was about, which, you know, is fine to an extent, but when your interpretation of the game is just flat out wrong..." A more accurate interpretation of the games would be well received by viewers, and enough time has passed that the movie would feel fresh.

Jaws (1975)

Jaws made everyone afraid to get into the water when it hit theaters. The ocean horror series started on a high note but eventually became so over the top that fans couldn't get into the sequels. However, Jaws has maintained a solid fan base who largely feel the film should never be remade.

Still, Redditor PricklyPickledPie shared their unpopular opinion, "I would love to see a Jaws remake. Could use the same plot, same characters, same setting, everything. Keep it minimalist like the original." A new take on Jaws would be risky, but the famous shark could make a splash in theaters again with new animatronics.

The Creature From The Black Lagoon (1954)

The Creature From The Black Lagoon is one of Universal Studios' classic horror films that helped the studio become a powerhouse. Even though Universal has remade some of its classic horror films like The Invisible Man, to fans' dismay, they have yet to revisit the Black Lagoon.

Reddit user boredinlink said, "Honestly, I see them doing a period piece for Creature From The Black Lagoon in the very near future... I think they fear schlock because they're afraid of bad reviews and low attendance. The thing is, a schlocky film would definitely draw audiences." A remake of this film would be something different for the studio and could usher in a new era of iconic horror characters.

Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)

While it may not be one of the best-made movies of all time, Killer Klowns from Outer Space has an exceptional level of campiness that was popular for '80s horror but now make the movies too cringe to be scary. With new technology and better makeup practices, a reboot of this film could be more terrifying and introduce audiences to a horror storyline that hasn't been done in a few decades.

As Reddit user, Ok_Fox_1770 said, "Killer Klowns from outer space in the right hands could be something magical." Clowns are always scary, but alien clowns could be genuinely terrifying with a fresh take.

Phantasm (1979)

Graveyards and mortuaries are scary enough but add in a supernatural caretaker, and you have the horror classic Phantasm. Phantasm's unique concept helped make it popular in the 70s but hasn't been revisited recently.

Redditor Holku said, "I think Phantasm could be done really well today," Phantasm heavily relied on special effects, which would be better severed with present-day technology versus the tech initially used. The film's gore level is appreciated more by horror fans of today than when it was originally released, which could be a factor in a successful reboot.

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

Rosemary's Baby was a huge hit when it was first released in theaters, but since its debut, no remakes have graced the silver screen. With the rise of horror movies taking on more psychological warfare style scare tactics, it's a wonder how a film about a young woman slowly losing her mind while also carrying the devil's baby hasn't made its way back to the big screen.

Redditor RXL said, "I want to see original stories, but if I had to pick one, I wouldn't mind a Rosemary's Baby remake set in modern-day NYC." Advancements in CGI could make for terrifying nightmare sequences and encounters with the devil that disturbed audiences over 50 years ago.

The Birds (1963)

The Birds is certainly a film of its time but has continued to be a staple in the horror movie world. Redditor Healthy_Possession_2 said, "My biggest problem is how the characters act like complete idiots."

Even though Alfred Hitchcock is known for his smart characters, The Birds doesn't hit the mark. A new reboot with better special effects and characters that are written with a bit more brains could bring the classic horror movie back to its former popularity and refresh some of the best tropes of classic horror.

The Fall Of The House Of Usher (1960)

Classic horror literature has largely been forgotten by filmmakers and hasn't gotten a film adaptation in several years. With the original film including the king of classic horror, Vincent Price, as one of the leads, a remake would have big shoes to film, but that hasn't stopped fans from asking for a reboot.

Redditor aubska said, "I saw that film in middle school English class, and it made me fall in love with Edgar Allen Poe's work. There really needs to be more Poe and Lovecraftian horror." Even though the original story is a classic, the lack of gothic literature being used for inspiration would make the movie seem fresh and new.

Friday The 13th (1980)

Friday The 13th may be one of the best summer camp movies, but the series lost credit when it left Camp Crystal Lake and went to New York, Space, and Hell. With so many movies already in the series, it is surprising that fans want another chance to see the masked ax-wielder on the big screen again. Redditor YTKingDoublePump said, "I desperately want another Friday movie with all these other horror classics being rebooted‼️" Filmmakers tried to bring Jason back in the mid-2000s, but low interest and poor box office performance killed the hopes of furthering the series and a fresh start for the films.
