Yes, the iconic Canadian horror (John Saxon! Kier Dullea! Margo Kidder!) movie, occasionally sited as kicking off the entire North American 'slasher' film (4 years prior to John Carpenter's Halloween), is getting a remake (previous Twitch article). The teaser (short on footage) is up now. Glen Morgan (X-Files, Final Destination, Williard remake) is writing and directing. Surprisingly in this teaser the classic tagline from the original's teaser ("If this movie doesn't make your skin crawl... It's On Too Tight!") is replaced with something much, much worse. No footage from the actual film (to be released in December) in the teaser, but according to the IMDb, one Connection to the original seems to be Andrea Martin (who was one of the sorority sisters in the original and went on to SCTV fame) and has a role in the new version.
