What horror movie characters look like in original films and remakes (12 photos)

Let's compare the main villains and characters from horror films and their remakes to see if the game is worth the candle. Or is there nothing better than the good old classics?





For a successful film release and sky-high box office receipts, 30 years must pass between the original and the remake.
