I'm thinking I might make one to keep in the trunk of the car though. Might be nice to have hot water if I ever have to watch a Matthews compound for 3-4 days hoping to get the drop on Sergio Frenchi. - Neon Bolan

Maybe I'll loose the subtitle on the front of the box, and put it on the back.

I can't go with "Trapped," Because someone will obviously review this and change it to "Crapped."

;) :lol: :lol: :lol: ;)

I don't know just yet, but for the trailer, it stays.

Maybe a tag line instead of a subtitle?

I'm already prepping my negative 'Sealed Farts' review, Joe. Whichever way you go, you won't win.

Because I want people to know what they are getting, and the psychological implanting of the term claustrophobia. Similar to Fear of Clowns, which tells you what the film is about....

Make sense?

Yeah, but I think one (or both) of us is overthinking it. :lol:

But Fear of Clowns wasn't called "A Tale of Coulrophobia Terror" (Look it up, it's the right word)

It makes sense, but in a 'you're telegraphing it' sort of way, if you know what I mean. Also, anytime you compare yourself to a Kevin Kangas film... well, that's a good sign to hit it from a different angle. ;)

I really do think a tag line might work better than a subtitle if you feel that you need something. Sealed Fates is a solid title and stands well on its own. At the very least, I'd drop trilogy. You can put that on the back. If they pick up the disc in their hands, they'll look at he back.

If you absolutely have to use the word claustrophobic, leave the subtitle as something like Claustrophobic Tales of Terror. It's compact, less wordy and conveys the same necessary information. If you absolutely need to convey that it's a trilogy and putting it on the back is just completely out of the question in your mind, there are other ways, such as using the cover art, to convey that it's a trilogy.

FoC should have been called "A Tale of Coprophobia Terror"

Why don't you just call it "Claustrophobia" or something?

Then your subtitle could be "Tales of Sealed Fates" or something.

Switch it around.
