10 Horror Movies That Almost Had TERRIBLE Titles
5. Zreaks - Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things
The three or four of those among you who have actually watched this cheap zombie movie will agree that it's far from being a masterpiece. You might have a good time with it if you love a shoestring-budget pulp fest. But most of you will see it for what it is - a poorly made zombie horror.
However, if there's one thing the film has going for it, it's the absolutely bombastic title.
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, what a name. You cannot claim it doesn't grab your attention. But that ridiculous title nearly didn't exist, as the film was originally called Zreaks (via Internet Archive).
The idea here seems to be that Zreaks is a play on the words zombie and freak, but it's not clever by any stretch of the imagination. On top of that, it's hard to read and tough to decipher.
It's not like the movie was a big hit, but thankfully, it got to keep the one thing it had - its wicked title.
