Alternative Title: Escape from Monster Manor: A Terrifying Hunt for The Undead

Just a note, "The" has an uppercase T (on manual and CD), if it matters. So  the question is: are you following the title how it is written, or the rule about "the" that does not have an uppercase ?

depends what rules you follow i suppose, I had to look up the old naming convention when thinking about N.O.B  for the 3DO

The No-Intro naming convention, sections
2.1.3 Capitalization
2.1.4 Ordering
2.1.5 Subtitles

cover this in that the current format would be correct, but, if all written material is different then I dunno

2.1.3 Capitalization Generally all common names, adjectives and verbs should be uppercased. Articles and link words should be lowercased except when first word.

Examples:
Adventure of the Hero,
Riding in a Car,
Travel from Earth to the Moon,
From Earth...,
Into the Darkness...

The official title written by the publisher or developer can be used as a reference including related titles from other media (movie titles). Some titles also have an unusual capitalization on purpose. In that case, capitalization should be left as intended.

in this case i guess:
"link words should be lowercased except when first word. " applies.

I wonder if, in the case of this game, the writer wanted to mark "The Undead" like "THE Undead" and not "the Undead" (as any undead).


and what about "That": I don't know where to put it on this rule: upper or lowercase ?
In the example of Myst: http://redump.org/disc/14118/


Btw, I am agree with this rule for main title. But if it must also be applied to alternative titles, some must be fixed (maybe):

Just to know when I need to post here about a fix.
