ok u know that fake 80s horror movie meme that people did on tiktok well aside from the blatant goncharov plagiarism i feel like the idea isnt inherently bad but trying to convince people the movie is real while giving it an obscure and therefore easily googleable name like zapotha is unwise. like goncharov was always openly fake but the video said they want to convince people zepotha is real. too easy to fact check imo.

#if you want to convince ppl this is a real movie you gotta name it like. using the few things that 80s horror titles are allowed to use..#its gotta be some kind of combination of #'night of the (xyz)'. the name of a broad category of monster (demon werewolf etc). smth like freak/creep. massacre.#and/or some event that high schoolers would participate in. prom. graduation. camp. slumber party. etc. bonus pts if its a franchise.#like omg have you seen my favorite underrated 80s horror? Vampire Camp III: Night of the Were-Creeps? from 1987?#omg its soooo good you have to check it out. linnea quigley's best role. don't @ me you know im right.#avpost #you gotta give it a really tropey name so people cant like look it up and find nothing.#at the very least if you name it 'night of the ' people will find a ton of other horror movies and assume it's blocking out the right movie #anyway you dont have to watch the rest of the vampire camp series to understand the 3rd movie bc they explain the lore #in a campfire scene at the beginning. so youll be caught up. plus the second one was really weird and hasnt aged well #the first one is kind of a low budget 1981 gem but the bad dialogue and acting is really hard to get past. pretty good gore effects though.#check it out if you like that sort of thing but the series takes off at the 3rd movie. when they make it more horror comedy.#i think its getting a remake soon. directed by a woman!
