The most popular horror titles seem to be memorable names or names that are quite simple. The only downside of using a simple name is that they are quite predicatble and are most likely to have been used before.
My favourite horror film title is 'Nightmare on Elm Street'
As my horror film opening consists of flashbacks/flashforwards maybe relating to a nightmare i decided i wanted to use the word 'nightmare' in my film title.
I thought that as my setting is going to be in the woods then maybe i could use 'Nightmare in the Woods'
But i then decided that the word 'woods' is too common, i then searched for alternatives.
· Woodland
· Backwoods?
· Woodland
· Brush?
· Wild?
· Wilderness?
I chose 'Nightmare in the Wilderness' as it was less common, i also thought it had a slightly horror feel to it and i can't wait to put it in my title sequence.
