Film Titles (Drafting and Planning)

I felt it would be more suitable to create my trailer and then come up with a name afterwards.
I thought of various names that I felt would fit the horror genre, and particular my trailer...
Because my trailer is set in an attic, I thought about using this as my film title, I want it to be short and to the point so I thought of 'The Attic' but perhaps thought this was too obvious and too cliche.

I then thought about the girl appearing in the attic and liked 'Appear' as it sounds mysterious and spooky a lot like my horror film.

I then went onto Thesaurus.com and typed in Appear to see what other words I could find.

  • Emerge
  • Come Forth
  • Occur
  • Recur
  • Derive
  • Haunt 


After seeing some of these words, the one that stood out was Haunt, cause she is in fact haunting the house again I went on to the Thesaurus to find a move obscure word that I could use for my title.

  •  Intrude
  • Manifest
  • Dwell
  • Harass
  • Return
  • Torment 
  • Infest


After choosing the words that I liked best I began rearranging them in sentences in order to make a title for my film....

  • The Intruder 
  • Returning 
  • Returned 


I liked the title 'The Intruder' is implies that they are not welcome and not meant to be there, creating an air of mystery and suspense before the trailer even begins.
