I think the remake is vastly superior

The original did very little for me. Seemed like nothing more than a cookie cutter 50's B scifi movie to me. That makes it fun IMO but far from scary. OTOH the second version (not really a remake a much as a far more accurate version of the book) was very creepy in that it generated a sense of paranoia in a way that had never been done on film. It had this great sense of "what the f*** is going on?" That simply didn't exist in the first version. The scene when the guys were bound and their blood was being tested was amazing. The pacing, the unfolding of events and the genuine terror that the actors played was breath taking.
