I am not sure what it is about all the old Hollywood horror movies, buth they've sure been re-making a lot of them lately. They've remade: - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- The Fog
- The Amityville Horror
- The Exorcist
Now, they're doing The Omen. You can visit its official website at www.theomenmovie.com/. I would really like to see this version too! I'm very much a horror film buff as well! Larry

I just watched the behind the scenes thingy for the new version of THE OMEN. They seam to be keeping the original film context. I think it is clever that that they are releasing it on June 6th 2006 (6-6-6). The original will be playing on Fox Movie Channel June 02 at 10:00 pm, June 03 at 12:00 am, June 03 at 2:00 am (all times eastern)

I know, I miss our old Horror Movie weekends. We will have to do a movie weekend some time and plan one day for the screamers and on day for movies you will watch. We just need to plan a long time in advance so Lonnie can participate. It take an act of God for him to get an entire weekend off.

Apparently if you've seen the original then you might not enjoy this one as it's a plain old rehash of the same story and is a bit boring for it as you know what happens. Apparently Mia Farrow isn't anywhere as good as Billie Whitelaw as the nutty nanny.

I think is was a good movie...but can someone tell me why the devils child has to always been a boy....why can't it be a girl? When you think about it.....girls play i big part in evil movies....say like emily rose....I just dont see why? If some was to tell me that it was this why because he can spread his evil all over the world....I would just say this if it was a girl satan would have, then that girl could grow up and have childern of her know and spread it?! I was just thinking about this when I was watching the movie.....so I thougth is was a good question to ask!

That's a good question. I would say that the devil has throughout history been portrayed as male, just as God has always been referred to as "the Father." But there's no reason why it has to be this way. Pure good and pure evil have no gender.

I think it all goes back to the sugar and spice and the puppy dog tails thing. You know girls are made of sugar and spice and boys are made of snails and puppy dog tails.. boys are always seen as mischievous and girls are always seen as angles. People don't want to believe little girls can be that bad, at least not till they turn to the teenage years.

Maybe it has something to do with the way women were looked at in historical times. Women were lesser humans, just above slaves. Why would the Spawn of Satan be a lesser human. It wasn’t until more modern times that women were even thought of as anywhere close to equal to men. Why would, in the historians eyes, Satan pick a lowly woman to be his heir?

That's a good point, Gina. Satan has a lot of power, and women historically have not been seen as powerful figures.
That's a very nice avatar, by the way.

That's a very nice avatar, by the way. Getting off topic for a second, sorry... Thanks. I felt the need to honor my Grandmother in some way. She was probably the biggest influence in my life and now I am feeling a bit lost. She was my mentor, surrogate Mother, best friend; she was the best of everything that I am. I don’t know any other way to explain her to someone who never had the privilege of meeting her. There is a reason that everyone called her mom or grandma. BTW: This is NOT a movie that she would have liked or even watched.

Gina, I am sure that your grandmother must have been very proud of you. She gave you so much. Now that you have a daughter of your own, you can continue her legacy by being that same kind of person to Tora. I've never seen Omen, or wanted to. There are enough horrors in the real world.
