Movie posters have always been more than just marketing when it comes to the horror genre. Often seen as stand-alone pieces, horror movie art can be found in many a collector’s stash, or even tattooed on a rabid fan’s skin. The last Black Museum lecture of the semester focuses on the Iconography of the Horror Film Poster. Films to be discussed include Carrie, Psycho, Frankenstein, and Don’t Go In the Woods Alone, along with posters from contemporary artists such as Ken Taylor, Jason Edmiston, Olly Moss, Daniel Danger, as well as Rue Morgue Magazine‘s ‘Ghoulish’ Gary Pullin and Justin Erickson.
