There's hardly a single succesful horrormovie left today that hasn't been remade or is in talking stages of being remade. Everyone has an opinion about this matter and so does Robert. This is what he said in an interview with the Pit of Horror:

"You know, I wouldn’t remake Elm Street or Friday The 13th, but there might be a great prequel of course or even a lost chapter to do....somewhere in between three and four maybe? You know I love prequels! I’m a sucker for that stuff. There is something really garage band about the Friday films. If you make them extravagant then it is what it is… if you make it garage, there is something exquisitely violent, like a great nihilistic video game or porno comic book. There is something rough about it. I mean look at Psycho. I mean I love Gus Van Sant, but that remake SUCKED! If you look at The Wizard of Oz, even with all the special effects and CGI, it can’t be redone. Look at Gone With The Wind now or The Wizard of Oz, it’s like your great grandmother gave you a great story book to read and as you watch it, you are turning the pages."

In the last few months Robert was asked allot about the new Nightmare on Elm Street remake, which he made clear he has nothing to do with at the time. In other words; he's not going to return as Freddy. Here's what Robert said about this matter in an interview on Ugo.com:

"First of all, I'm not a kid any more. My God, it would have to be Freddy vs. Viagra. Listen I could probably don the makeup one more time and maybe put a corset on and go to the gym for a month... I always played Freddy in his late 40s and believe me I am not in my late 40s. I've always thought that the real secret of the Nightmare on Elm Street series is the nightmare - the bad dream that is so universal. To me, the way to exploit that particular element of the films is special effects. So I think this is one film that won't suffer in the remake by the exploitation of all the new digital techniques we have because I think nightmares lend themselves to that. If it does stay true to the original story and script of Wes Craven, I don't think they can go wrong because it's such a strong little tale to be told. I think it's probably a good idea and I wish them all the best."

Robert has not only been in, but also saw his share of horrorfilms, which almost makes him an expert on the genre. When Classis Horror.com asked him about the importance of fear in horrorfilms, Robert told them: 

"I think if there’s not something that’s creepy or scary – and I’m not just talking about the “ew, gross” factor, I’m talking about really creepy. I remember, and I still talk about, Lucky McKee’s film May. It’s sad and creepy and strange and sexy and titillating and ultimately horrifically sad, because there’s something about the fact that she’s been sitting in that rental, stitching together this big doll out of the body parts of everybody we’ve met in the movie, and that it’s taken her some time, and that that’s her hobby, and it’s all the result of having a lazy eye and having a bitch of a mother. And it really did freak me out, just like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, which is an exercise in style in the serial killer movie, but really did freak me out. And then there’s some sequences – I remember the sequence in Children of Men where they shoot – and I’d love to talk to [director Alfonso] Cuarón and ask him if he ever covered the scene where Michael Caine gets his fingers shot off. I’d like to know if he ever shot it up-close or if he always shot it up on the hill, from Clive Owen’s point of view, like it is in the movie, because it’s so wonderful to be detached like that. It’s even more horrific and it really freaked me out that he was getting killed a finger at a time."
