History Main / GoryDeadlyOverkillTitleOfFatalDeath

This trope was a hallmark of {{B Movie}}s, which used over-the-top gore and mayhem as a selling point, even when there was little to be seen. Contrast TheHorror, which is so simple that it can be too vague rather than too evocative. A subtrope of IntentionallyAwkwardTitle, where the over-the-top title is used but not necessarily with violence.

* SergeyLukiyanenko once told a joke about an editor who tells a young author that a succesful book nowadays needs to be about space, sex, gore, or demons. A month later the author brings ''Bloody Orgy in Martian Hell''. Later Sergey ''actually wrote and published exactly that''. It was a StylisticSuck short story called an excerpt of the aforementioned novel, but still.

* Parodied in ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' with the book title ''Dr. Blood's Orgy of Gore''.

* Parodied with the title of the recurring {{SCTV}} sketch "Monster Chiller Horror Theatre." Also parodied with the {{Show Within A Show}}'s often-promised but never actually screened feature, ''Bloodsucking Monkeys from Hackensack, New Jersey.''

* The [[HomestarRunner Strong Bad Email]] [[http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail180.html "slumber party"]] gives us titles of several M-rated video games, among them ''Blood Bleeder''.

* The soundtrack of the first ''SilentHill'' game includes: "Until Death", "Children Kill", "Killed by Death", "I'll Kill You", "Dead End", "Die", "Kill Angels" and "Killing Time".

** And don't forget ''Doctor Tongue's 3-D House of Meat''!

** I'd go see a movie called ''Vampire Sorority Babes'', but I wouldn't take a hyperactive six year old or a [[OrIsIt stuffed tiger]] with me.
*** That depends. Is this troper female? I hear he's a real...[[IncrediblyLamePun ladykiller.]]

** And that excellent cinematic treat, ''Revenge of the Surfboarding Killer Bikini Vampire Girls''.
*** [[FetishFuel I'm sure someone wants to see it IRL]].
** And who can forget ''The Attack of the Giant Savage Completely Invisible Aliens!''?
* ''{{Godzilla}}, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack''

* DeathMetal band Blood Vomit and their album ''Up From The Grave'', not to mention the song titles. In fact, pretty much any death metal band.

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Incredibly_Strange_Creatures_Who_Stopped_Living_and_Became_Mixed-Up_Zombies The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living And Became Mixed-Up Zombies]] isn't that gory, but makes up for it by being annoyingly long.

* ''TheIncrediblyStrangeCreaturesWhoStoppedLivingAndBecameMixedUpZombies''. Yes, it's a ''straight'' example.

* ''TheHorriblySlowMurdererWithTheExtremelyInefficientWeapon''

* ''[[LesbianVampire Lesbian Killer Vampires]]''
** Is that different to ''LesbianVampireKillers''? I really wouldn't be surprised either way...

Sometimes, it's not enough for a horror movie to have a frightening premise. It has to scare its prospective audience [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast right there in the title]]! This mentality leads to a title with so many "scary" words or phrases that it becomes ridiculously redundant, a la UltraSuperDeathGoreFestChainsawer3000. Often, [[WordSaladTitle the title doesn't even make sense when held up to scrutiny.]] (Try to visualize some of the examples below...though it might be best if you didn't.) In brief, instead of frightening potential viewers, these titles provoke the reaction "Eww!" or "What the hell is this movie ''about''?"
