Best:
If you consider it a remake, John Carpenters The Thing has to be on the list.
Next to that one, IT has to be one of the best horror remakes ever made.
Evil Dead I think struck a perfect balance between a horror remake doing it's own thing while still paying proper respect and homage to the original. Hollywood needs to watch this one and take notes.
While I really enjoyed the Friday remake in theaters, I found it kind of slow when I tried to watch it again a couple of years later. It was okay, I just felt like I'd seen that movie done better 8 other times.
While I'm not a huge fan, The Fly remake was clearly superior to the original.
TCM and Fright Night are both pretty good.
Worst
Rob Zombie's Halloween films. I'm sorry, just not a fan.
Psycho-Vince Vaughn does not equal Anthony Perkins in any universe.
Amityville Horror: The original is a guilty pleasure of mine, but the remake was a steaming pile of dog poop.
House of Wax and The Fog (Barf)
Nightmare on Elm Street: I did like Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy, but I could never quit get over the fact that he looked like a burnt cat. Rest of the movie was just boring as hell.

LOL the burnt cat made me chuckle, now I can't unsee it. I agree with most people's lists here. I think my favourite is Halloween 2018, with F13 2009 second. The worst remake is probably ANOES 2010, liked Freddy, but everything else was shit. Haven't actually seen the others.

I thought Jackie did a great job as Freddy but Rooney Mara was all wrong casting for Nancy. The rest of the cast was good. The movie was boring though.

Re: Best/worst Horror Remakes
I've never seen it, but can I give a special nomination to Cabin Fever for being the most redundant remake? Why are we remaking movies that aren't even a decade and half old? The dismal reviews and box office returns shows what the interest level in that film was.
I just hope this current environment in Hollywood where you have to make a movie every few years to hold on to the rights for these franchises doesn't lead to more poorly planned sequels and misguided reboots.
