"Sealed Fates" Trailer now online...

[Joe Ripple]

Any Thoughts? Look like something you'd want to check out?

[Alien Redrum]

Those basement scenes are AWESOME!

Really cool that not one death is showcased, as opposed to all of them.

That subtitle has got to go, though, IMO.

[Neon Maniac]

What subtitle?

Looks good.

[Alien Redrum]

The subtitle title.

The "A Trilogy of Claustrophobic Terror".

[Neon Maniac]

I kind of have to agree.

[Joe Ripple]

Can I ask why? I'm truly curious.

[Neon Maniac]

Mostly because it sucks. And a little because it's gay.



I think claustrophobic makes it kind of wordy, but without that word it's a Trilogy of Terror. I've been thinking about for about the last 90 minutes and don't have much more than that to say at this point. I think a subtitle might work, but something shorter. I don't want to say more without having a more constructive answer or suggestion.

[Joe Ripple]

Well, Claustrophobia is the centralized theme that runs throughout the three stories. It'll be hard to try to find a phrase that symbolizes what I'm trying to convey to the potential viewer...because it's not just tight enclosed spaces, but also what "traps" individuals in their lives.

Anyway, those are my thoughts, but I'm open to any ideas.

Those scenes will never be revealed in a trailer again.

Good teaser. There are a couple of really cool shots in there. I really liked the ones at 1:00 and 1:01.

I don't really mind the subtitle. It actually reveals more than the title does.

Okay, pretty much all of that.

It's not a good secondary title (no offense). The "Trilogy of" Claustrophobic "Terror" part looks like a complete ripoff of one of the best TV movies ever. Pretty sure it wasn't intentional because I know you, but there will definitely be people who see it and immediately roll their eyes. I know if I didn't know you, I would for sure.

Plus, as Ron said it's way to wordy. I think a subtitle would work, but I really don't think you need it, too. The "s" in "Fates"* does a fine job conveying it's about multiple ends. It doesn't necessarily convey trilogy, but it doesn't have to -- Cat's Eye, Nightmares, The Asylum are all examples of this. It just seems like you're dumbing it down for the audience.






*don't lose the "s" in "Sealed", though, because "Ealed Fates" is a shitty title.

[Alien Redrum]

Oh no. I saw sham posted when I was submitting my reply. I DON'T THINK YOU ARE DUMB, SHAM.

I have to disagree there, because I like Ealed Fates, but it would have to be changed to "Eeled Fates". It conjures images of oceanic terror. Not unlike my novel, Tales of the Sea Vampire.

I'm running a sale on the ebook version of it right now, only $91.93.

I kind of get what the title is trying to do, but I don't think it works, unless there's more to the film than I know about.

I mean, Cat's Eye is a collection of horror stories as seen through the eyes of a cat. It's a perfect title. Trilogy of Terror is so simple, it's self-explanatory. Many others (Tales from the Crypt, Tales from the Darkside, Creepshow, etc.) reflect exactly what their movies are about.

So what exactly is Sealed Fates? What's the story?

[Neon Maniac]

Tales of Trapped Terror.
