The Devil & Design

October 28, 2009 by Antonio Garcia

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)?"
