Episode Title Corrections Denied?

Some of my episode title corrections for “Terror in the Woods” (2017-) are not getting approved. Most of my corrections for this series were approved - I’m not sure why these are a problem. I’ve submitted them all multiple times.

Episode 1.8: The actual title onscreen is “Hellhound,” not “The Hell Hound.” (I have included that info in the explanation.)

The contribution numbers are:

#211105-212630-880000

#211106-220342-195000

#211112-020515-385000

Episode 1.2: The titles onscreen are “Sasquatch and Asylum,” not “Bigfoot/Ghost cave,” which isn’t even capitalized properly.

The contribution numbers are:

#211105-205128-661000

#211114-224345-644000 (I just resubmitted this again today.)

Episode 2.1: The titles onscreen are “I Think It Came from Hell and the Ozark Bigfoot,” not “It Came From Hell and Ozark Bigfoot.”

The contribution numbers are:

#211106-212219-104000

#211112-015534-037000

Episode 2.3: The titles onscreen are “The Devil Monkey and You Freeze, You Die.” The current title is missing the “The” at the beginning.

The contribution numbers are:

#211106-220822-481000

#211111-235157-326000

Episode 2.2 needs to be merged into episode 2.6. So “Ghost Hunters Under Attack” needs to be changed to “Was It Hunting Us? and It Was Something Evil” and episode 2.6. Support already accepted my date change for the episode, but now they won’t complete the merge. The real episode 2.2 can’t be added until this one is merged.

The contribution numbers are:

#211105-221919-723000

#211111-234343-737000

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi MysteryTW -

Thanks or all the additional information.  I have now removed the incorrect 2.2 episode and replaced it with the correct new episode: "Was It Trying to Kill Me?/The Blue Ridge Encounters".

Additionally, I have filed a request to include specific title formatting (such as usage of slashes) within our guides and the appropriate team will take a look shortly.

Thanks again!

Hi MysteryTW -

All the title text updates have been made except for the last request.  Regarding the merge request, can you confirm that episode #2.2 is a duplicate of #2.6 (ie. all the credits and data belong to the same episode)?

Michelle,

Thank you so much for all your help!!

After further looking into “Ghost Hunters Under Attack,” I’m convinced it should be deleted. I believe it’s information from 2 different shows mixed together. The only information listed for this episode is the title, episode number, air date, and 10 crew members. (The original date listed on IMDB was Mar 11, 2019. That matched nothing related to the series; no episode were even released in 2019. I changed the date to March 14, 2020 to prepare to merge it.)

No cast is listed on IMDb for “Ghost Hunters Under Attack.” I looked at all the crew members but none of them are unique to this episode. Since they all appear on multiple episodes, there is no way to use this to confirm anything. No cast is listed on IMDb for episode 2.6. None of the crew listed are unique to this episode. There are no conflicts in the listed crews. Either the job title and name match, or the job titles are different.

I haven’t been able to find any evidence that “Terror in the Woods” has an episode titled “Ghost Hunters Under Attack.” There is no plot outline, summary, or synopsis on IMDb. There are no keywords or quotes. There is one piece of trivia which the author seems to have made up. Apparently the author didn’t know that “Fear the Woods” and “Evil Encounters” are the same show. (In fact, “Terror in the Woods” is also known as “These Woods Are Haunted.”) He couldn’t have watched a “Ghost Hunters Under Attack” episode from “Terror in the Woods” because it doesn’t exist. Besides, if he had actually watched 3 different episodes, he would have known whether they were all the same episode or if they were segments of different episodes spliced together.

Initially I suggested merging episode 2.2 with 2.6 because the title “Ghost Hunters Under Attack” matches the plot for the 2nd half of episode 2.6. I just assumed this episode went with this series and someone added the incorrect title. Having recently watched this series, I knew that episode 2.6 was the only episode that title could fit with.

[The actual episode 2.2 for “Terror in the Woods” should be called “Was It Trying to Kill Me?/The Blue Ridge Encounters” - These are the titles I saw onscreen. The plot for the correct 2.2 episode can be read here: https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1800405/these-woods-are-haunted-2x02-was-it-trying-to-kill-me-and-the-blue-ridge-encounters and here: https://www.betaseries.com/en/episode/terror-in-the-woods/s02e02?id=1535852&title=Was%20it%20Trying%20to%20Kill%20Me%3F%20And%20The%20Blue%20Ridge%20Encounters. I have seen this episode so I can verify the plots in these links are correct; the episode has nothing to do with ghost hunters.]

There is a show titled “Fear the Woods” (AKA “Evil Encounters”) which also airs/aired on the Travel Channel. It has an episode titled “Ghost Hunters Under Attack.” It’s possible someone got confused and added the episode to the wrong show. Here’s a link to “Fear the Woods” which shows the episodes: https://www.travelchannel.com/shows/fear-the-woods/episodes. It’s listed as 1.8 here.

On Google (under Evil Encounters), “Ghost Hunters Under Attack” is listed as episode 2.2. They only title it “Episode 2” but the description matches the description for both the Travel Channel and at this link (for 1.8): https://tvovermind.com/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-fear-the-woods/.

IMDB has the show “Evil Encounters” but not the episode “Ghost Hunters Under Attack.” (The episode titles match the titles listed on Google and the titles on Next Episode: https://next-episode.net/evil-encounters/season-1.) Additionally, IMDB does not have an episode 2.2 for “Evil Encounters.” I think someone meant to submit this episode for that show.

Thus, the “Ghost Hunters Under Attack” episode for “Terror in the Woods” has no unique information other than a title that doesn’t appear to exist. I wouldn’t merge it with anything in case the crew is incorrect. (I looked through the onscreen credits earlier for episode 2.6 and most look correct, but I think there is one that doesn’t belong. I haven’t watched the credits for the real 2.2 episode.) Crew members can always be re-added to episodes.

Oops, I forgot something. Can you request the information about formatting with the slash for two titles in an episode be added to the IMDb title formatting page? It would have been nice to have that information before I worked on the 20+ titles for this series. Support is going to think I’m a nut or be really annoyed with me when I start resubmitting all these titles with a slash. At least the wording is correct now and it’s just formatting. Still, I have a feeling I’ll be starting every explanation with “I’m sorry....”
