I would keep the music, as it is very famous and people would know that this film is a Halloween film. Further I would also keep the iconography as everyone would know the film, so by keeping the iconography then it would be much easier to make a re-make as people would already be able to distinguish the fact that again this is a Halloween film.
In addition I will keep the main killing weapon which was a knife as again this seems to be the main tool in most slasher films, this will be kept as the use of a knife in killing is a personal touch as you have to be face to face in order to kill someone. This can further represent how crazy the killer is. Also I would keep the crazy serial killer as he is the main person that makes the film sell, as well as his mask.
The things I would alter or change would probably be the idea of the final girl as everyone would expect the innocent 'Madonna' type character to survive. So by killing her off maybe half way through the film this would make audiences believe that this re-make is not a typical version of the film. This will reflect the zeitgeist as the audience are expecting the women to survive so by the new dawn of age this may set a trend so that most other slasher films will also change their interpretations of the film.
