Horror Snob: 'Buffy' Reboot Should Not Happen

Seriously ... Why are they doing this to the fans?

Ive been waiting on the right issue to introduce what will become a more-or-less regular column here at Rabid Doll. News that the husband-and-wife team of Fran Rubel Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui are considering a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot seems like the perfect place to start The Horror Snob.

So, what do I think of a reboot at the hands of the Kuzuis, who legitimately own the rights to the Buffyverse?

As Tim Minear so eloquently put it: Unthinkable.

In all honesty, Im not a fan of reboots period. With only a few exceptions, such as Rob Zombies Halloween and Alexandre Ajas The Hills Have Eyes, I have been terribly disappointed in the horror remakes. These awful flicks are hitting theaters and movie stores in an ever-increasing conga line that just has me begging the movie gods to make them stop! Many of these reboots are just sorry excuses to try and rip off money from the viewing public by riding on the coattails of previously successful franchises.
