Slasher Film Posters

Some reoccurring themes withing the slasher film poster, seems to be the addition of the weapon, the repetition of the colour blood (red) and the use of blood within the title. We decided to go against some of these conventions to create a sense of ambiguity as people won't know what to expect. We did not include a weapon for the killer, to create a sense of mystery, so the audience will have to watch our film to get an idea of the technique in the killings. These are film posters from the golden age of the slasher genre, and as you can see, all of them are animations. We once again, decided to break some of the forms and conventions of the slasher film poster, as we believed an edited photo would look more terrifying.
