Horror Movie Posters
Horror, Posters, and Horror Posters
The Eerie Books website has made arrangements with AllPosters.com to
make a variety of horror movie posters and other horror
posters available to our site's visitors. We'll
provide previews of what you can expect from these posters, as well as
our recommendations for which posters from their site are the best value
for your hard-earned horror dollars.
Horror Poster Categories
In order to keep this page manageable, we've organized the commentary and suggestions into a number of horror poster categories. These include:
Demon Posters
Demon posters can be some of the coolest horror posters to collect. For example, this stylized seated demon poster is perfect for a death metal listening room:
Evil Clown Posters
Evil clown posters capture the dark side of clowning. There are no innocently smiling jokesters or happily juggling harlequins to be found among AllPosters.com's evil clown poster lineup, just intense images of clowns at their worst. From the creepy smile and demonic gesture of the ICP Ring Master:
This blacklight-enabled poster of a generic Evil Clown is in bright Mardi Gras colors:
Evil clown posters can be a great decoration for a Halloween party, or they can amp up the decorations in your twisted guest room or man cave.
Grim Reaper Posters
Grim Reaper posters are a grim reminder of the finality of death. The Grim Reaper is that inescapable creation who appears to guide lost souls home after their death. AllPosters.com has more than four dozen images of the Reaper at work. Check out this hilarious and dark image of Grim Reaper flipping the bird:
for a tongue-in-cheek take on Death. More stylized and artistic images of the Reaper are popular, too, such as this heavily-stylized and beautiful black and white take on the Grim Reaper that would work well among highbrow art or a collection of other dark images:
Horror Movie Posters
Horror movie posters are made up of classic horror-themed images, updated takes on great old horror movies, and more modern horror movie imagery. AllPosters hosts classic horror movie posters, like this original German poster for F.W. Murnau's 'Nosferatu' for an example of how movie posters can occasionally become great works of art:
This poster, called Horror of Dracula features the iconic image of Christopher Lee from 1958, proving that not all horror movie posters have to look like images from movie advertising:
Horror Vixen Posters
Horror vixen posters feature beautiful women in horrific situations, the classic horror movie conflict. It's bad enough when regular Joes get eaten by zombies or suffocated by blobs of barely-animate space goo, but when the bad guys come for the beautiful women, men of action kick into high gear. This poster, called Daygirl, catches a beautiful woman in the middle of her transition from living to dead:
Unfortunately for our next vixen, some women just can't be saved; time has run out for Vampire Girl. AllPosters.com has a huge selection of horror vixens both living and undead.
Monster Posters
Monster posters feature the stars of the show in all their glory. It's easy to forget that horror movies exist as a vehicle for monsters to hit the big screen. This Godzilla poster is timeless:
This silly black and white sketch of a friendly monster is cool too:
Skeleton Posters
Skeleton posters at AllPosters.com number in the hundreds. Take a look at this contemporary image of "the living dead":
and compare it to this more traditional skeleton image, which is almost cheerful:
Check out this vintage print of a life-like skeleton posed with a shovel, doing the grunt work of the dead for all eternity:
Vampire Posters
Vampire posters are more popular than ever thanks to the Twilight and True Blood series of books, TV shows, and movies and their countless knock-offs. AllPosters.com has over 300 vampire posters for sale, from a creepy still from the classic vampire film Nosferatu:
to this far more campy blacklight poster of a vampire feeding:
For the young vampire fan in your life, consider this "Keep out" sign they can hang on their door to indicate the presence of the undead:
or this sign indicating "Vampire Parking Only":
Werewolf Posters
Werewolf posters are poster-sized images of everyone's favorite shapechanging minion, the werewolf. Since werewolves play a big part in the mega-popular Twilight vampire series, werewolves are coming back in a big way. One of my favorites is this blacklight werewolf poster:
More traditional werewolf posters, like this Werewolf of London movie poster from the 1930s, are also way cool:
This beautiful print of the movie poster for An American Werewolf in London is another of my favorites:
And check out this hilarious I Was a Teenage Werewolf poster):
Posters featuring werewolves come in all flavors.
Zombie Posters
Some zombie posters go for the authentic scare or grossout, like this ultra-realistic promotional poster for The Walking Dead. Zombie movies, books, and TV shows:
Plenty of AllPosters.com's zombie themed images are of the campy variety. For the zombie fan in your life looking for a cool and clever zombie image to grace the TV room, consider this "How to Identify a Zombie poster," combining the wisdom of horror movies with a vintage horror movie feel to create a unique zombie wall hanging:
