I’m back with another remake article! This time, I chose a modern cast for the wildly underrated horror comedy, The ‘Burbs! The ‘Burbs follows a cul-de-sac’s residents who suspect that their new neighbors are Satan-worshipping murderers. As always, I made my choices based on age, looks, and how I picture their overall performances. I hope you enjoy and let me know who you’d cast! (REMINDER: This is just hypothetical fun! I respect everyone mentioned and this series isn’t meant to tear anyone down or be disrespectful!!!)
