Cabin Disco Fever

Over the weekend, while doing some research for one of the two book projects I'm working on, I read Noel's A.V. Club feature, "From Asylums To Zombies: In Search Of A New Horror Classic." Noel highly recommended The Last House in the Woods, an Italian film that I initially rolled my eyes at simply because of its title. I mean, come on, we already have two Last House of the Left's. Can we try to have a slightly different name, especially one that doesn't share part of it with one of the most memorable horror flicks of all time?

Nevertheless, I thought about possible names of other horror flicks I would probably scoff at simply because of their name:

The Last House Party on the Left
Friday the 13th Floor
Return of the Living Dead Alive
Near Dark Floors
Blue Steel Trap
The Vanishing Point Break
Cabin Disco Fever

I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but what about a movie based on its title? I shall ponder that.

I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
