Horror Film Posters

The picture to the left is a representation of typical horror film posters. Most use not much writing, not may pictures and dark colours to give a sense of death and mystery. There is normally a plain black/dark background to keep the focus on the usually scary image on the poster. There is also usually the name of the film in large print towards the bottom of the page and a tage line or outstanding quote from a newspaper etc at the top. Below the main title is usually actors/actresses names as well as the producer and director's names etc. Text is usually in white to stand out fully against the background.
