Icons Of Fright recently interviewed Bob Clark, who made a few remarks about the upcoming remakes of two of his films: BLACK CHRISTMAS and CHILDREN SHOULDN'T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS.

Clark told Icons that in the original BLACK CHRISTMAS "it was never my intention to reveal the killer's identity or backstory. It was bold and some people didn't appreciate it. When Warner Bros. bought the movie they tried to talk me out of it & into making more of a concluding finish." He noted that the remake being handled by Glen Morgan and James Wong, will contain more backstory that involves "quite horrible things."

For DEAD THINGS, Clark noted he has "added a new dimension to it, a new character. There's a ghoul that murdered fifteen people, forty years before and that's what changed the island from a resort, a mansion island, to a horror island and he's brought into the story now. I thought, there's more fun to be had with this. It's going to be very funny but quite horrifying too."
