SCREEN CRUSH ran an article a while back entitled The Worst Movie Titles in History. They didn't pay any attention to whether the movie itself was good or bad -- they merely focused on the titles, all of which, in their "expert opinion", had absolutely terrible titles.

Guess what made the list at #23?!?

To be honest, while there's plenty about the Cirque Du Freak movie that can be legitimately criticised, I never thought the title was one of its weak points. Cirque Du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant. What's not to love about that?!? The series title (the books are known in the USA as The Cirque Du Freak series) and a descriptive subtitle to set it apart from later entries (if they'd made any more movies). I genuinely don't see the list-writer's gripe.

That said, there's no denying that #2 on the list is a real stinker -- Can Heironymous Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness? I don't know WHAT the makers were thinking with that one!!!
