The Issue

Through generations and generations, the face of horror has been defined by the iconic Universal Monsters such as the Frankenstein Monster, Dracula,  Wolf Man, Invisible Man, the Creature From The Black Lagoon, Phantom Of The Opera, and countless others. Each and every character has sent shivers of fear and delight through the minds of children of all ages since their initial releases so long ago, echoing from the silver screen and into our homes. Today, these classics are up against an idea even more terrifying than the creatures themselves; Universal Pictures has announced plans to reboot these amazing films. Trouble is, they will not remain in the realm of horror... Why would some of the beloved, first ever cinematic embodiments of the genre be re-created in the form mindless action films? 

Please sign this if you are at all interested in preserving the legacy and the terror that these characters have brought into our lives and will presumably bring into the lives of all generations to come... If the stories are to be told for a new audience, so be it. But these horror icons do not deserve to become savagely destroyed by conversion to the genre of action, and we certainly don't deserve to stand by and watch exactly that happen.
