Maybe it was because I saw the short version of LOT '79, but the remake was much better, imo. Haven't read the source novel.

I did not really like the remake that much it's been a long time since I've seen it the original is great and that's what I'm choosing

Both kind of miss the point of the novel, which is that the Marsten House and the coming of Barlow expose the rotten heart of small town America. '79 just dispenses with the more maudlin evils altogether, while '04 just lets everyone be nasty from the very beginning, so there's nothing to expose. I'll take the original for the scenes of the kids floating outside the window, which are creepier than anything in the second adaptation, but for the most part these both suck, I think.
