Film Titles

Glampire - This is the name that we like the best and the one we wanted to do originally. It go the most votes in our survey with 15 votes out of 62. We fused together the word 'Glam' and 'Vampire' to make the comical name 'Glampire'. It's catchy and easy to remember as it's just one word. It also expresses the genre well as the audience we be able to tell a lot from this title. Clearly its about a vampire who's 'glam' and is obviously not going to be a horror or action film. It's most likely going to be a spoof and this will be apparent to the audience just by the title and then backed up by the trailer.



Fangtasy - This is a play on the word 'Fantasy'. As the story is completely fiction, the word fantasy is appropriate. This was the second most popular with 13 votes. Again it's one word and memorable. The word 'Fang' is also well associated with vampires as they have fangs for teeth. This would again let the audience know that this is most likely going to be a film about vampires.


Don't Fang About- We really liked this one as it's a play on words for the phrase: 'Don't hang about'. This got 8 votes. We thought about using this as a slogan for the trailer: "Dont fang about, here's something you can really sink your teeth into!" We are therefore going to explore suitable slogans for the film with a vampire twist incorporated into them, we may therefore use some of the names we considered as titles as inspiration for our slogans.


The Only Vampire in the Village - The Only Vampire in the Village got 7.  This is a take on the 'Little Britain' catchphrase "The Only Gay in the Village". This is well known and for our young audience, is quite amusing. It is also in keeping with our theme of the vampire in our trailer being not gay but quite feminine and the fact that in our film, steve is the only vampire rather than being in what is known as a 'coven' in Twilight or a 'Brood' or 'Clan' in most vampire films.


Suck it to 'em - This is a play on the catchphrase 'Sock it to 'em' . It got 5 votes and again we are thinking of using this a slogan rather than an actually title. We changed the word 'Sock' for 'Suck' to make it relevent to our film genre as vampires are known for 'sucking' blood out of humans.


NosferTuTu - NosferaTuTu also got 5 votes. Nosferatu is the name of  a silent german film from 1922 which is based on the story of dracula but with the names and places changed. For example, the name vampire is changed to Nosferatu. A TuTu is a skirt made of netting that is stereotypically quite girly, this makes the name 'NosferaTuTu' quite funny.


Van Helsing-song - Abraham Van helsing was a Vampire Slayer in Bram Stoker's Dracula novel. We thought that this would be a nice idea if we had our movie as a musical because it has the words sing-song in it.


The Vampire Gayer - This is a parody of the phrase 'The Vampire Slayer' which was also a popular TV show in 1997 to 2003 named 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'. We changed the word slay to gay to make it comical for the audience however we felt that perhaps it was a little to 'in-your-face'.


Cup-a-Blood - This is a twist of the warm drink 'Cup-a-Soup' but we replaced soup for blood to make it vampire related. We liked this one but not as much as some of the others, it wasn't quite as memorable.


Vampiracy - Vampire is obviously made up of the two words 'Vampire' and 'Piracy'. Piracy is copying other forms of media, like films and music. This would be appropriate as because our film is a spoof, we will be taking bits from other vampire films. It is also a short word, making it quite catchy.
