Unfortunately, even the Big G is about to get the same treatment. Re-making monsters lessens their impact. Just look what happened to Quasimodo. Making the grotesque cuddly may be good for selling toys, but it eliminates its deeper meaning. Because the human imagination needs exercise to stay healthy, and grappling with the weird and horrible offers a major mental workout.
Modern monsters offer no such insights.
However I'm confident that with the passing of time, monsters will return to their former glory. As long as we have light, we will always have darkness, and the darkness of a movie theater is where monsters dwell best.
