Okay, here is my sharing about how I made these alternative horror movie posters.
So I’ve been messing around with making some alternative horror movie posters lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride. I started by just browsing the internet, looking for inspiration, you know? I stumbled upon this website that has thousands of alternative movie posters from all over the world. Seriously, the talent out there is insane. It really got my creative juices flowing.
After that, I started to look for horror posters specifically. This one site has a whole section just for horror. There was one for “Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives” and an “8 Bit Variant” of the same movie. They were charging like 15 bucks each, which isn’t bad, but I thought, “Hey, I could probably make something like this myself!”
So I started digging deeper, trying to find some really unique stuff. I saw that there are tons of fans and artists out there making their own posters, just for the love of the game. Some of these posters are even better than the originals, in my opinion. It’s amazing what people can do when they’re passionate about something.
- I realized there are tons of sites out there where you can order all kinds of movie posters. Some of them have like over 100,000 titles to choose from. That’s just crazy! It’s like a poster paradise.
- But here’s the thing, I wanted to create something myself, not just buy something off the shelf. So I started playing around with different design ideas. I tried using different fonts, colors, and images.
- Some sites were offering prints on wood blocks for like 20 bucks, acrylic blocks for 14, and something called “MixBlox” for 6. That seemed pretty reasonable. But again, I wanted to make my own.
My First Poster
My first attempt was a poster for “The Evil Dead”. I found this awesome image of Ash, the main character, and I used a really creepy font for the title. I added some blood splatters and some other gory details. It turned out pretty decent, but I knew I could do better.
Then I tried a poster for “A Nightmare on Elm Street”. This one was a bit trickier. I wanted to capture the dreamlike quality of the movie, so I used a lot of surreal imagery and distorted perspectives. I even added a hidden image of Freddy Krueger’s face in the background. It took a while, but I was really happy with how it turned out.
I’ve made a few more posters since then, and I’m getting better with each one. It’s a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun. I’m learning new techniques and experimenting with different styles. It’s a great way to express my creativity and my love for horror movies.
I might even try to sell some of my posters online one day. Who knows, maybe I’ll become the next big name in alternative horror movie posters. It’s a long shot, but hey, a guy can dream, right?
