Description In recent years, the horror genre seemed to have been targeted by movie studios to create non-stop remakes, reboots and re-imaginings whether horror fans like it or not and there is no end in sight. In August 2011 alone, one reboot/prequel (Rise of the Planet of the Apes), one sequel (Final Destination 5) and 2 remakes (Fright Night and Don’t Be Afraid Of the Dark) are released in the theaters, with more of the 3Rs being scheduled for released during the rest of 2011 or in production for 2012. Hence, this panel, as moderated by DreadCentral.com’s Editor-In-Chief, Steve “Uncle Creepy” Barton, will explore the new 3 Rs of horror, where remakes, reboots and other rediscoveries such as documentaries & retrospective pieces are discussed by various filmmakers who had worked on them. The panel will also discuss what can make original ideas in the horror genre successful, and what the filmmakers have to do to convince the movie executives to fund their original horror ideas, when these movie executives prefer the 3 Rs. This is a panel filmmakers of all genres (the horror genre is non-exclusionary) who are faced with similar challenges of raising funds for their original ideas versus being hired by the studios to remake or reboot an old (or not so old) horror title.
