| | Posted: | | | | What should the edition/title/original title be for this one -  How it currently is 1 - Title -The Evil Dead Original Title - Edition - Limited Edition: Book of the Dead My opinion it should be 2 - Title -The Evil Dead: The Book of the Dead Original Title - The Evil Dead Edition - Limited Edition How another contribution is changing it 3 - Title -The Evil Dead Original Title - Edition - The Book of the Dead: Limited Edition My reasons for changing it are that I see it the same way as given in the rules under modified titles - Quote:
# Modified Titles: The Original Title field will contain the original theatrical title, while the Title field will contain the title of the DVD release. For instance, for the Special Edition rerelease of There's Something About Mary:
* Title: There's Something More About Mary
* Original Title: There's Something About Mary So I believe that only "Limited Edition" should be in the edition for this & the rest of the entry should be in Title & have the screen title in Original. I've had a look at other entries for this title & there's a mix of variants at the moment. Thanks for any suggestions/advice. Edit: Forgot the "Other" option but if you have something to suggest, please feel free. | | | | Last edited: by Ardos |

| | Posted: | | | | Based on the two pack at Amazon, which includes both films, I would enter it as follows...
Title: The Evil Dead: The Book of the Dead
Edition: Limited Edition
Original Title: The Evil Dead
I say that because the two pack has Evil Dead 2: The Book of the Dead 2. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I'd definitely go with Option 2 also. I own the R1 version (013131-190496) of this title, and that's how it's always been listed in the database.  | | | | Corey |

After I hit submit, I saw that he had the exact same solution. Great minds and all.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | option 3 is correct
"Use the title from the film's credits."

"Use the title from the film's credits." That's for the original title, for the title it comes from the DVD cover. |

| | Posted: | | | | But the Bofd means only this book from this book edition  (which smells btw) |

| | Posted: | | | | I'll agree with you about the smell but not the rest  If it didn't have "Limited Edition" I might agree but as it's got it there, you want to put that bit after another bit which doesn't mention edition? And while the situation is different regarding Mary, the principle is still the same. It's a different title for what is effectively the same product. |

| | Posted: | | | | What I think is strange is that the result in this thread is the exact opposite to what the comments is in the thread about King Arthur: Director's Cut.
I can't really see the difference | | |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks again all, it looks like the vast majority agree with how I've submitted it.
For the one "No" voter I can't get any more into the contribution notes but the Title field may or may not be the same as the credits title, this is why we have the Original Title field as well. |

Now just to see if the other one will be accepted in a couple of days. |
