Where I'm Calling From

Darkness Falls
is not a good movie.


"Darkness Falls" is not a good title for a movie.


But "Darkness Falls" is a terrible name for the town in which this story's set. Because, really, who would want to live in Darkness Falls?

Vaguely spooky sounding places? Great. Flat-out spooky phrases for place names? Don't do it. That ship sailed with The Simpsons and "Terror Lake".

I can just hear the trailer:

"In the town of Fear, fear has a name... which is fear, the name of the town. Fear."

I like movie titles that come from the place name and are ironic.

Lake Placid. Nice, and helps to establish the cheesy tone.

Amityville... but maybe without the Horror part.

What about Pleasantville? I'd way rather lived in a place called Darkness Falls.
