Boo to unecessary sequels, they ruin the 'magic' of so many franchises. Psycho. The Exorcist. The Matrix.

Heh, so you enjoyed the Omen as a kid? I saw it in my twenties and found it terrifying.

Speaking of unnecessary, how about that recent Omen remake? I didn't bother watching, but people tell me it's like the old one word for word-minus the actual atmosphere and uniqueness.

But yes, one of the awesome things about the original Omen is the ambiguity. Somehow it tends to bring it closer to 'our' reality, and therefore is scarier than if Satanic Daddy showed up, horns and all.
