The cool thing? If you disagree, you can shuffle the deck and make your own choices!

Already hailed as the scariest movie of 2024, the much anticipated Longlegs will be released theatrically on July 12.

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.

I think the scale is a bit off... that's a 200 foot woman on the poster!
One of our favorite annual happenings! Picking the BEST horror movie posters of the year. It’s fair to say that graphic design in 2023 came in like a little sheep, but left as a full-blown lion. From the outrageous and grotesque to the sublime and beautiful, designers really offered some interesting stuff in 2023.
Has there ever been a good Bigfoot movie? Well…that’s debatable. But this one looks like it could really be contender....
Blue Holocaust, Buio Omega, Beyond the Darkness, In quella casa Buio omega, the Third Eye…doesn’t matter what you call this 1979...
Tagline says it all: Lovely Woman... Giant Killer Cat... The Same "Person"! It's Super Sensational!
Here’s the poster for one of the rarer and apparently one of the last of the Hammer horror freakouts. This...
Uh…not sure what’s going on here. Or, for that matter, what the exact translation of Tanz Der Damonen is, but…this...
Nothing says Hammer Films like repressed Christians, the Victorian age, and whole lot of pent up sexual frustrations. Enter: Demons of the Mind from 1972.
