Ideas for Film Production Company Names

For my production company name, I wanted a name that reflected closely on the horror genre. Because of this, I decided to choose a name that resembled the psychological horror theme that I was aiming to replicate with my film/film trailer.

Insanity Productions
This name seems to suit the theme I was aiming for, however appears to be a bit too 'blunt' as a choice for my production company, perhaps emphasising the theme or genre far more than is required. Because of this, I will attempt to soften the emphasis on the genre, but still make it apparently clear that it is a production company that focuses primarily on the horror genre.

Straitjacket Films
This name is a lot more practical, as it implies that the films are primarily horror and/or 'psychologically orientated' however never explicitly states this. It leaves the audience to think of a straitjacket and make the connection themselves. I like this name, but in my opinion, it is still a bit too 'forceful' and emphasises the concept too much.

Night Vision Films
This name is far more reminiscent of the type of name that I would like to name my production company. The 'night vision' concept does not necessarily refer to horror films, but these are most certainly a convention in certain horror films such Paranormal Activity. Despite this, however, I would like a more playful and memorable name, and this name simply does not have that memorable element about it.

Loose Screw Films
The name 'Loose Screw Films' seems to blend this balance of playful, memorable and psychological horror. It is not too serious, but also not too informal, as well as being a name that is reasonably memorable in my opinion. Accompanied with a logo helping to emphasise the name, this could be a possible contender for the name I eventually choose.

Silent House Productions
This name seems to also give that idea of playfulness and memorability; however, much like the first name, is far too blunt and obviously a production company that will specialise in the horror genre, something which I would far rather the audience figure out for themselves instead of being explicitly hinted at by the name of the production company themselves.
