This is the movie that made the butcher knife an iconic horror image and the poster depicts it well. The stark use of white is a direct contrast to to the filth of the actual film and the composition of the illustration plays nicely into this area, breaking the comfort of the design. So here they are, featured in order from oldest to newest.Ī classic style common to the 60's and 70's films, this illustrated poster pays homage to one of the most disturbing scenes in the film. Their short headlines tease the viewer about the flick and the typography in the titles act as a logo and have inspired many useless, but fun, free fonts. The imagery they feature creates fear and curiosity out of their concept and makes them timeless. They are works of art with little to no gore. This is a tribute to the unique, frightening and classic horror movie posters of our generation. The illustrated style is rarely used and designers are relying more on star power and grunge brushes than on a creative concept.
And the Trajan font is abused more than Linda Blair was in the making of The Exorcist. We have way too many posters of faces arranged around the title like a Hollywood beheading on display. In my opinion most do not do it well, and the movie poster designers of today have gotten lazy. In the realm of cinema the poster is a major marketing piece in attempting to tease the would-be viewer’s curiosity to want more so that they will drag their corpse into the theatre seat.
