The reason we chose this as our title is because it has two meanings to it.
One meaning is literally a final deadline for the students to hand in their media assignment. The title will relate to its target audience who will be teenagers, from the age 15 up.

The second meaning is the word 'Dead' being used within the title, since the majority of students are killed off by a fellow student. This also speaks to its target audience, who will be people who like horror films.
In our research we found that lots of Slasher/Horror movies related to a specific time on the calendar. Such as, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Black Christmas, Valentine's Massacre. Moreover, further research into the texts showed that these dates relate back to an event that causes the killer to be out for revenge. For example, Halloween is the exact time Michael Myers the 'psychotic killer' , gets insititutionalise and comes back 'for a mindless rampage'.
