Lots of (usually bad) movies go under alternate titles. Al Adamson made a living selling his movies under sometimes 3 or more titles!
Example- Most of us BAD movie fans have seen the WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN (1966) at some time or another. But it also went under the title SHE WAS A HIPPY VAMPIRE (!).

So, can you name some other films known under other titles?
I can't find an image of the most obscure title: THE NIGHT ANDY CAME HOME (1974) but google just that and you'll find the two most familiar titles right away:
DEATHDREAM

not those 'regular' terror cages you get... these ones are 'weird'...
apparently THE SIXTH SENSE was released as HE'S A GHOST in Asia... ermmm.
ZOMBIE (1971) was changed to I EAT YOUR SKIN so it could play on a double bill with I DRINK YOUR BLOOD.

If I recall correctly in a similar vein 'The Crying Game' came out in China as 'My Girlfriend Has A Penis'.
I still call 36 Chambers of Shaolin The Master Killer because its shorter
HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS (1970) went under various titles-
CREATURES OF THE PREHISTORIC PLANET, CREATURES OF THE RED PLANET, the FLESH CREATURES, VAMPIRE MEN OF THE LOST PLANET, and SPACE MISSION TO THE LOST PLANET!

yeah... in fact a lot of thrash metal covers from the 80s look like they could be bad movie artwork. Anthrax's first 2 albums spring to mind...
THE MUTILATOR (1984) also went by..

I believe that Dr No was released in Japan titled "We Don't Need A Doctor" :wink:
There's a South African film about Dr Albert Schweitzer starring Malcolm MacDowell which has more than a few titles.

BLOOD OF DRACULA (1957) was known as BLOOD IS MY HERITAGE in the UK.
Which makes more sense, being the name 'Dracula' was never used in the film whatsoever.

The 1957 British film NIGHT OF THE DEMON was released stateside as CURSE OF THE DEMON. BTW, a great film - a rare instance where I approve of the changes the producer wanted but the director hated! Better because we do get a good look at the DEMON by the end... :thumbup:

With ALEX D'ARCY ! :teddyr: :lookingup:
I bought THE HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND which was the second time a DVD from Amazon didn't work and I wasn't quick enough to complain. :lookingup: It easily took me a year or more to try to play it. If I remember right, that's a favorite of yours.
