Horror movie posters are in a bit of a design slump, with an endless churn of high-contrast black and red designs bodged together with vaguely foreboding imagery for a little cut-and-paste creep-factor. Thankfully, the curse may have been lifted, all because of the new poster for Lee Cronin’s ‘The Mummy’.
There's no formula for creating the best horror film posters, which is why it's so disappointing to witness the recent sea of formulaic, lacklustre designs. A triumphant return to form, the new Mummy poster is a retro delight that looks like a relic straight from the past, right down to the fine details.
