Enjoy a Rainbow of Horror Movie Posters [Halloween Treat]
Update: The post credited the wrong person. It has been updated accordingly.
Many people accuse movie posters – in general, not just horror – of reusing the same type of concept over and over again. The folk over at TwentyTwoWords have a wonderful list of 10 examples, such as the “big eye”, the “back-to-back”, the “in bed”, and the “through the legs”, as well as a few others.
While I can’t argue against the concept that a lot of movie posters are dull, lifeless, and often photoshopped to hell, there is something strangely charming in the obvious and almost expected choices that studios make.
Enter Tumblr user midnightmurdershow, who put together a collage of horror movie posters that were organized by color. It’s a rather beautiful collection, in a strange way.
My only complaint is that Leprechaun isn’t at the end. Because of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? No? Okay, I’ll see myself out…

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
