CoS also emphasized Strahd's desire to manipulate and corrupt those around him taking special delight in turning good people towards evil. I think that resonates quite well with a modern audience. I think CoS Strahd is scarier than the original Strahd.And then there's the problematic elements.  The Monster Squad was brought up, and while I marveled at how violent a children's movie was, I didn't mention some of the other elements of the movie that wouldn't pass today. The kids watching a teenage girl changing her clothes, the focus on a teen girl's virginity, and the homophobic conversation about one of their teachers just wouldn't fly today and with good reason. So you gotta update your material to take that into account as well.I won't lie.  Before I saw the movie I was not aware that Wolf Man had nards.</blockquote>
