depends

^^^ Exactly.. could you give an example?

but not always-i usually prefer a remake of an old horror/thriller because the new ones are much much scarier

Depends most times I'll take the original like for example in an animated show the voice actors/actresses can change and so can the story and it can be entirely different from the original and even in the remake of a live action show there could be cast changes,story changes,and so many things change in the show and it just doesn't have the same feel in it.
