I am a huge fan of horror movies. More specifically, the gore-terror-survival horror genre. I love the ultra-violent blood bath stuff that comes over from Europe and the twisted sadistic torture imports from Asia. In other words, I don't mess around with anything less than R and prefer unrated and/or banned.
As I was looking for inspiration for my annual Halloween movie marathon invitation, I stumbled across director Ti West's poster design contest for his new film The House of the Devil. (Although this flick is pretty tame compared to what I described above, I thought it was an absolutely perfect homage to classic '80s scary movies—you should see it when it comes out on Friday). The 6 contest winners can be seen here and I think you'll agree they're pretty much all awesome.
I also found this great set of color schemes inspired by vintage horror movie posters. So tell me, "what's your favorite scary movie (poster)?"

It's been in development for quite some time. Think of it as "IMDb and wikipedia just for type." It's open to everyone to contribute, add and update. It's Typedia! The brainchild of Jason Santa Maria and Mark Simonson, as well as many others, has arrived. Go contribute to the typographic society.
