Dear Scream And Other Legacy Horror Franchises: Please Start Being More Creative With Your Titles

Movies

Most importantly of all, though, is the fact that the confusion is ultimately not just limited to those casual movie-goers, and has a detrimental effect on fan discourse and engagement in the internet age. Remakes already create enough of a pain in the ass when you’re searching for a specific film online, such as when you’re looking for where it’s available streaming or for purchase, and adding sequels with cloned names only needlessly exacerbates the problem. It further creates issues on social media, message boards, and comments sections, as sequels need to be differentiated with mentions of director, release year, or some other signifier. It’s a dumb burden that can be entirely averted by just applying a little bit extra creative energy when titles are being brainstormed.
