I was very little but actually saw the original theatrical release. I lived in a small island and cinema there would premiere movies a year later, but been a fan since early 80s.

Yes I know, several of my personal friends are working on the series. I am a big fan of the original movie and for decades I've promoted it as one of my inspirations and I've befriended people (including the creature designers) working in the original movie. They're in so I'm sure the series will be respectful to the spirit of the original work. I'm just starting to watch it, but whatever the outcome it will rekindle interest in a movie that should not be forgotten and thus i'm happy.
