They played the monsters straight without their tongues firmly planted in their cheeks and the same can be said for everyone associated with the making of these classic films. You know that stories made in the same vein, by modern actors would never even be considered a viable option for a TV series on any channel. Let's get real here, what we're really talking about is either a cgi gore fest or another TRUE BLOOD imitation with classic uni monsters updated so they are unrecognizable to us, tossed into the mix. That is the reality, that is what sells in todays' high tech day and age, unfortunately. If you were in charge, infinite1, is that what you would do? No, because you love the original material and want to see something faithful to the spirit and intent of the original material. So, assuming someone similar exists in the world of tv - suspend your disbelief! - we could end up with something old school spooky and magickal. And not a tv version of VAN HELSING.
