When did it die again? I hear this every other decade. ;)
The studios keep missing opportunities to promote 3-D better. The original Dracula is being shown in theaters this month. Universal could just as easily bring back Creature From The Black Lagoon, and it's sequel to show people how old school 3-D is done.
And I would probably suffer the SE's just one more time if they were shown theatrically in 3-D.
