| | Posted: | | | |  Should the title for this be stylised to match the title, or simpler to match the overview? I think it should be the former. For what it's worth, the IMDb has the stylised title as the original title, whereas Wikipedia goes with the simpler version. |

| | Posted: | | | | Looking at this my first thought... since the rules is use the title from the front cover... using The Witch (with a W) is instantly against the rules since there is no W in the title on the front cover.
Reading the above cover art I personally don't believe "A New-England Folktale" is part of the title... so in my personal opinion... per the rules it should be The VVitch. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

This title is The VVitch original title The VVitch: A New-England Folktale Forgive me but, why would the original title contain the subtitle but not the actual title?  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

This title is The VVitch original title The VVitch: A New-England Folktale That is not my intention. There is an existing UK Blu-ray profile which is the title The Witch and the original title as The VVitch: A New-England Folktale. As the front cover does not have The Witch (with a W) written anywhere, I believe this to be incorrect information and the title to the The VVitch: A New-England Folktale or the same but without the subtitle, and was curious as to whether there was the majority consensus or an official (or semi-official) rule about this particular title. |

| | Posted: | | | | Can somebody verify the title, which is shown at the end of the end credits?
Somewhere in my brain it says, something was wrong with it. Could be Witch, which leads us to:
Title: VVitch
Original Title: Witch
... which would solve nearly all problems... | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

... which would solve nearly all problems... These might be the ones you're thinking. The first is from the beginning of the movie, the second from the end.   This seems to indicate the production companies/copyright holders use Witch, rather than the actual title of the film. |

| | Posted: | | | | Seeing the on-screen title is with a subtitle... so it is indeed a subtitle... corrected my vote.
Still no W on the front cover...so per rules must be...
The VVitch: A New-England Folktale
Seeing both opening and closing credits tells me no original title needed. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

The momet I saw the company name was the only good moment in this film: immediatly I had to think of the discussions around here  | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) | | | | Last edited: by AiAustria |

The Witch (or Witch) should be for the Sort Title field (or the Title field and kept in a local database, not the one to be submitted), not the official title of the BD/DVD, as that is contrary to the contribution rules. |
