Please DO NOT change the title.

I read a rumor that the title was going to be changed to...well, let's just say, something not as great as 'Box of Shadows'. Please, PLEASE do not change the title.

I know.. I completely agree with you! Box of Shadows was a much more intriguing and sophisticated title!
Who knows why they changed it into this! So vaguely 1980's.... Ugh!

Thank you. Seriously. 'Ghostmaker' is so Full Moon productions "quality". Don't get me wrong, I love everything (or at least most everything) Full Moon puts out but this looks as if it's in a higher class so-to-speak. Again, not putting down Full Moon's budget and the great things they do with practically nothing.. this just seems "different", in a good way. Oh well. The hell is this movie coming out?!!!!!!

Coming out November 13, 2012 in the U.S. Distributed by Lionsgate. The new cover artwork, with the grim reaper, is terrible. I can tell you for a fact that the filmmakers are disappointed with Lionsgate.

I hope you enjoy the movie!

Have you people even seen the film? If so, you would know that The Ghostmaker is a much better title for it!! Box Of Shadows has nothing to do with the plot of the film. Just because it sounds classier doesn't mean it's right for the film! 7/10

Are you high? Ghostmaker is a version of the title dumbed down for troglodytes.

Yes true. I like movies where the title relates to the material much better than when it doesn't. It sets expectations in the right place. There are exceptions, for example Sleeping Beauty (2011) invokes thoughts of the classic tale but doesn't deliver, yet there is an actual beautiful sleeper so it's a fitting title but it's still wrong. Star Wars Episode I could have been called "The boring government meeting with the pointless race scene and the paedophile love interest." or perhaps "Star Wars: Destruction of the Trilogy". I mean how much did that film suck balls when you went to see it at the cinema? OMG what a complete let down that was. The rebooting of Star Trek with Zachary Quinto was awesome by comparison. I felt really happy about paying to see that at the time. But I've have digressed.

Yes I agree, titles should suit the material.
