TheMadMartian... you have said in the past it is right to check other areas of the case to see what the title of the release is... 'Zombie Double Feature' is not on the spine or back of the case... so why does it have to be the title on this release?

I have to agree with this.  The title of this box set release is 'Zombie Double Feature'.  It isn't pretty, and it may not make sense but, in my opinion, it's what the rules call for.

As you've said yourself, the rules do not tell us what on the front cover is part of the title, so they actually provide zero guidance in this instance.

Not to mention that from a data perspective it renders the title field completely useless for searching for the actual film titles.

They may provide you with zero guidance, but they provide me with plenty.  From the Box Set Rules:

"The title for a Box Set should be the title listed on the front cover, for example Alien Quadrilogy"

Even though, at least one of the releases of 'Alien Quadrilogy' lists all four titles on the front of the case, the title remains 'Alien Quadrilogy'.  In my opinion, this is no different.  Just like 'Alien Quadrilogy' describes that release, 'Zombie Double Feature' describes this release.

Since this is a box set, won't the child profiles show up when searching for the actual film titles?  Since they will, I don't see why this is a problem.  I have plenty of box sets where the title of the parent says nothing about the films in the set.  I have several where the films in the set are listed on the front of the case, yet are not listed in the title field.  Why should this be treated any differently than they are? 

I have to agree... if that was the title of the box set then that title would be on the spine.

You are trying to lump all cases to work the same way... and we all know that just does not work.

The same as Zombie Triple Feature or 50 Western Classics. Should be consistent when it comes to multi-film releases. No way I'm gonna put 50 movie titles in the title field, and have 50 Western Classics in the edition field just because they have the titles on the front cover.

How often do they put all 50 film titles on the front cover for these releases?

1 is more than enough.






Put the contents in the title field and disregard the box set title for one, then we can do it for all of them.
The question - is this one Box Set so important that we are willing to change it for all of them.

Couldn't another option be Title: "Zombie Double Feature: Dead Season / State of Emergency"?

The title of this Zombie Double Feature is "Dead Season / State of Emergency".

I have some 2-movie packs and Double Packs and whatnot and I have never used those descriptions (which is what they are) for the title. Possibly in the edition but I don't feel it necessary either unless there are other releases with the same title.

and this is correct because this is how you do it?

doing something over a period of time does not mean it's being done correctly.

It only means that is yor preference.

As I posted pictures of at least five other double features in my collection alone which include "descriptors" like "Double Feature" on their covers, you know full well this would not be the only one that would be "different".

Try putting all twelve titles or all 50 titles in the title field and see how far you get. There is practical reason for not using the film titles for those which you are choosing to ignore.

You posted earlier as if there wasn't a release with 50 titles on the cover. I showed you there are cover with multiple titles.
So now you are saying that you want to do it your way as long as all the titles fit in the title field. And if they don't then do it the correct way.  Pick and choose is not in the contribution rules.
