Wait... so I could make a film about a guy trying to start a line of breakfast cereals and name it "The Lord of the Rings?" Wow. I didn't know that. Are you sure? Well, if there's no legal distinction between the traditional canon and the countless ripoffs, then how do fans determine which films are official "Dead" films?
I looked on IMDb to see if there is any consistency among the production companies that make the "Dead" films so I could come up with some sort of litmus test, but no dice. You'd think it'd be easy to find out whoever owns the rights to these things.
