| 11 | 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''?" |
| 12 | |
| 13 | This trope was a hallmark of {{B Movie}}s and SplatterHorror, which used over-the-top gore and mayhem as a selling point, even when there was little to be seen. A subtrope of IntentionallyAwkwardTitle, where the over-the-top title is used but not necessarily with violence. Compare the MadLibThrillerTitle. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | In practice, the trope usually inspires {{Squick}} or {{Narm}} rather than fear. It also tends to involve the DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment. Related to OverlyLongGag. |

| 319 | * ''Series/MrShow'' had "Return of the Curse of the Creature's Ghost". The characters weren't sure if they should be afraid of the curse, the ghost, or the creature. |
| 320 | * In an episode of ''Series/TheGoodies'', the Goodies are watching films made by Pinewood Studios after buying the studio. One of these films is called ''Kung Fu With A Bucket Of Blood And A Bath Full Of Giblets''. Tim refuses to watch it. |

| 326 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 327 | * DeathMetal band Blood Vomit and their album ''Up From The Grave'', not to mention the song titles ("The Shredder", "Human Butcher", "Madman of the Woods", etc.). In fact, pretty much any death metal band. |
| 328 | * ThrashMetal band Lich King recorded a song titled "Attack of the Wrath of the War of the Death of the Strike of the Sword of the Blood of the Beast". |
| 329 | * Rose and the Arrangement's "The Cockroach That Ate Cincinnati." |

| 331 | * Music/{{Weird Al}}'s "Attack of the Radioactive Mutant Hamsters from a Planet Near Mars." |
| 332 | * The Dead Milkmen's "(Theme from) Blood Orgy of the Atomic Fern." |
| 333 | * One of the best examples of this trope in music would be ''Impaled Northern Moonforest'', a side project by Music/AnalCunt's Seth Putnam: they have released a full album of StylisticSuck acoustic black metal songs with names like "Awaiting the Blasphemous Abomination of the Necroyeti While Sailing on the Northernmost Fjord of Xzfgiiizmtsath". |

| 335 | |
| 336 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 337 | * ''VideoGame/BloodCrusher2'', complete with random subtitles (THE SPINEBREAKER FILES) to enhance the effect. Appropriate, as the game is a send-up of '90s shooters. |
| 338 | * ''VideoGame/TheHouseOfTheDeadOverkill'' is already an example in its own name alone, the game being a deliberate send-up of its parent franchise by means of turning it into a seventies exploitation film, with level subtitles such as ''Papa's Palace of Pain'' and ''Jailhouse Judgment''. |
| 339 | * The bonus material in ''Mishap: An Accidental Haunting'', due to the fact that the first boss is the ghost of a Hollywood ex-"scream queen," includes several posters for flicks such as ''Invasion of the Alien-Brained Fly Men'' and ''Attack of the Zombie Taxman''. |
| 340 | * ''The Curse of the Revenge of the Ghost of the Evil Chicken of Doom...Returns!'' |
| 341 | * ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion'' features arcade games called "Die, Enemy, Die" and "Kill Thrill." |
| 342 | * ''VideoGame/TurboOverkill'', whose title refers to it's hero, Johnny Overkill - a {{Cyborg}} OneManArmy who absolutely lives up to his name. |
| 343 | [[/folder]] |
| 344 | |
| 345 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 346 | * ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner'' |
