Horror posters


White nun, white is a pure and holy colour which would be suitable for a nun. The nun is expressionless and has black bleeding eyes, adds a sinister look to the nun. Suggests that the nun becomes corrupt, which does happen in the series but it doesn't give away too much of the plot. The black blood heavily contrasts against the white nun suggests the darkness may be taking her over.

Dead silence- dark colours used like a typical horror poster. Really like the use of the tag line and the pose the dummy is in, go together well and it's as if the dummy is the one saying the tag line. Uses a doll and implies what the film is about but doesn't give away too much. 

Maniac- no photo used just a drawing gives away what happens in the film but as it happens all the way though it doesn't spoil the plot of the film. Really like the way the name of the film is laid out and the bright red contrasting on the black box. Very graphic content, not suitable to hang every where as it would scare younger ages. Not the best for advertisement.

Nightmare on elm street- very dark image hard to see what it actually is, this is done so you don't see the character properly and still leaves mystery. Really like the highlight and shine added to the blade. Draws your attention, showing that he's dangerous. Think the use of the tag line as well as the image that still leaves mystery have been used so when you think your own worst nightmare you can imagine him being that character and it will scare the audience. 

The possession- very dark and dull colours used. Photo of a girl with something coming out of her mouth and attacking. The image and the name give away what is going to happen in the film. We are made to believe this girl gets possessed. Like the way the font is used to contrast on the dull image and like the glowy, scratched effect- something used on a lot of posters.
