My final poster for . My goal was 3, but I was so inspired I made 6! I haven’t made a horror movie poster in a while, so this was a very fun creative project for me.

This poster is for Ari Aster’s 2018 family drama, Hereditary. Family secrets, generational curses, decapitations, and the worship of an ancient prince from hell — what more could you want!?

My inventory of these new posters arrive today! They will be debuting in person at the in Akron tomorrow, but I will@also have them up online early next week.

Have the best May Day, watch some horror movies, and maybe make a blood sacrifice to an old god. Love y’all!

Another poster for ! 🔥

1968’s Witchfinder General (also known as The Conqueror Worm), directed my Michael Reeves, is set during the British Civil War as Matthew Hopkins is appointed Witchfinder General to hunt down and persecute witches. The void in authority left in the Civil War’s wake leaves Hopkins (Vincent Price) to abuse his power and become something much more frightening than witchcraft.

A brutal and intense film, this is the violent arm of the Folk Horror Unholy Trinity, and packs a heavy punch.

“I’m Scared To Close My Eyes, I’m Scared To Open Them…. We’re Going To Die Out Here!”

day five and I am so stoked to share this poster.

1999’s The Blair Witch Project is a genre breaking film, credited with single handedly reinvigorating the found footage genre. A small group of college film students venture out into the forest to make a documentary of the folkloric “Blair Witch” and they are never seen again… and found footage was never the same!!

Would you venture into the woods to find a witch?

Of course, it wouldn’t be without a Midsommar poster. 🌞

2019’s Pagan Cult film directed by Ari Aster is a mainstay in any Folk Horror fan’s collection. Harkening the Wicker Man, it brings Pagan Death Cults to the mainstream. It’s bright, it’s heavy, and while the majority of the gore is off screen it’s horrifying.

Midsommar is always in my May Day movie rotation.
