10 Horror Remakes So Bad They Never Got A Sequel

10. Prom Night

If you haven’t seen the 1980 original, it paired Jamie Lee Curtis with – why not? – Leslie Nielsen, so the people behind this remake sensibly ignore it and start over. Unfortunately, those people are Nelson McCormick and JS Cardone, the ‘creative’ duo behind the Stepfather remake, so it’s still a lame and forgettable effort.

All you need to know about the plot is that is that Donna (Brittany Snow) is preparing for her senior prom when teacher-turned-wacko Ramsey, who attacked her three years earlier, escapes from the booby hatch and comes after her pursued by some inept cops.

So it’s 88 minutes of and-then-she-woke-up false scares and bimbos wandering off by themselves, plus there’s a pure-evil villain who changes his appearance by shaving and wearing a baseball cap, which of course allows him to evade capture until the climax.
