As we’ve already opined aplenty, 2024 was something of a bell curve year. Lots of horror films fell right in the middle. Not too hot and not too cold. Just moderate chills with a hint of terror.
Turns out the graphic designers and the studios were largely on the same trajectory with with their fav’ hype tool — the HORROR MOVIE POSTER! Some good, some bad, but a whole lot of them parked smack-dab in the middle of the spooky bell curve.
Funny enough, it’s usually the smaller outfits and foreign film companies that really flexed their muscles when it came to horror movie posters. We’re just guessing here, but notes, focus groups, polls, and know-nothing producers have a way of clumsily aiming for broader audiences. The end product is a compressed bit of business with very little authenticity or graphic design voice.
