Titles: Either I nail them at the beginning, or it's a struggle.

I've finally finished my haunted dollhouse story, and it's ready to go. Except for one thing -- it needs a title. I can call it "A Haunted Dollhouse?" but that's a bit vanilla. Although the question mark does imply the crux of the story -- is this ghosts, con artists, an elaborate joke (and if so, on who?) My heroine does the best she can for the customer, and wins the day -- no matter what's going on in that dollhouse.

So, suggestions gratefully examined.

A small scary room? Barbies Nightmare House? Terror in Tiny Town? ;-)

Well, she sells a 50s Elvis doll to help with the exorcism. Can you think of an Elvis song that works? Mergit suggests that Elvis can help the ghost realize Heaven can be fun....

You know, even though she doesn't actually appear, the last one has a strong appeal -- the bland suburban family being haunted by...humm... ;^)
