Welcome to Day 15! Today, I’m back with the remakes. I almost chose the original Halloween to remake for Spooky Season. However, I recently rewatched Psycho and I decided to remake this one instead. I was so afraid I wasn’t going to get this done in time. It was a long process to go through all of these names and pick the actors/actresses I believe could do the movie justice. 

I made my choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performance. To make it a real challenge, I also did my best to make sure I didn’t include any stars who were already in some adaptation of the Psycho story, including the sequels, remake, and the Bates Motel TV show. It took a long time, but I have to say I’m pretty happy with my choices! Let me know who you’d cast! (Also, please check out the poll at the bottom of this page to help my posts in the future!)
