War-Gods of the Deep
A good title can sometimes sell the book or movie. Take War-Gods of the Deep, for example. That is a seriously awesome title. It conjures up images both sensational and cheesy. “There isn’t going to be a lot of subtly here,” The Title says, “There will be some hammy acting, an attractive woman in a low-cut dress, and some corny monsters with rubber masks.” Okay. This might work. The Title has my attention. It just needs a little something to put me over the edge. Oh, ho! It stars Vincent Price! I’m in. I can almost hear The Title laughing to itself, “Bwah-hah-hah, I’ve hooked another one!”
