Horror Movie Poster Fonts and Typography Research

1980's Horror Poster Titles:

Blood is usually associated with the Horror genre, therefore, highly contrasted vivid red colours are used to symbolize blood and death in this case, with a slight curve to the fonts, or even blood dripping from beneath. 

These images tend to portray a slasher feel, due to the slanted angle, and handwritten style, inferring that it was written by the killer, these give off eerie and sinister atmospheres, which instantly let the audience know that the movie is a horror. 

The fonts picked are usually really cheap looking or tacky, despite spending a large budget on the production, little is used to interpret the horror look. 

Typical end credits usually consist of blurred out 70/80's looking fonts, these really define the horror look, colours of either red, or orange, these colours associate with "Halloween" as you would identify this with pumpkins...
