Here are five retro shows that should be brought back as horror movies

Blumhouse has transformed Fantasy Island into a horror flick. So why not do the same with Small Wonder, The Love Boat, Highway to Heaven, Out of This World and ALF?

Why Jason Blum rebooted Fantasy Island as a horror movie

“When I watched Fantasy Island as a kid, I remember there being a really dark, creepy element to the show and I loved the idea of leaning into that and making a movie that emphasized just the scary part. It was lots of other things too," Blum says of his horror film, written and directed by Jeff Wadlow, which was released Friday. “A lot of people — I know I felt this way — have this idea of Fantasy Island that’s a little silly,” added co-screenwriter Chris Roach. “Probably because it was on back to back with Love Boat. But the truth is the show had a lot of very dark episodes. It was very Twilight Zone in nature. And as the seasons went on, it dealt with a lot of subject matter that really lent itself to horror, so it seemed like a natural fit.”
