Spooks, Specters, and Ghosts

The final Double Feature Friday installment of the Horror Movie October graphic design calendar card series is two rickety found-footage films featuring spooks, specters, and ghosts, The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity. 

"The Blair Witch Project"
"Paranormal Activity"

I love found-footage films, and these two are great. The director cut of Paranormal Activity is absolutely fantastic. Jumps, scares, and frights! Oh my! 

With this piece I wanted to tone down some of the bright colors, but bring in the red and orange for contrast against the black and white, and the blue on the calendar page to emphasize a ghostly feel. Mwwaaa ha ha ha ha ha! 

Check out the trailers, and then hunt down the films.

BONUS ZOMBIES!

BONUS! 

I have made an alternate of yesterday's Double Feature Friday installment that includes Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland. 

"Shaun of the Dead"
"Zombieland"

It's not a huge change. I just added Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to the lettering, and then threw in some amusement park zombies on the calendar page. However, I thought I would share. 

Let me know your thoughts. 

Amusement and Zombies

Today's Double Feature Friday installment of the Horror Movie October graphic design calendar card series features the best fun you could ever have with zombies, Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland. 

"Shaun of the Dead"
"Zombieland"

Seriously, if you like good time and zombies you should just stop what you're doing and watch these right now. Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Zombies, Twinkies, Amusement Parks, Clowns, Queen.... just watch them now! 

As far as aesthetics go, I used bright colors to accentuate fun, and a gradient changing color scheme to represent the changing of life into ZOMBIE! 

Check out the trailers and then hunt down the films.

We'll Leave A Light On For You

Today's Double Feature Friday installment of the Horror Movie October graphic design calendar card series features one of my favorite directors, Sam Raimi, and one of my favorite producers, Joss Whedon, with the seminal Evil Dead 2 and The Cabin in the Woods, respectively. 

"Evil Dead 2"
"The Cabin in the Woods"

This is my kind of horror! Crazy, unpredictable, ludicrous, and in-your-face directing that keeps you jumping and screaming. Bruce Campbell, Thor, chainsaw hands, and mermen. How can you go wrong? 

Check out the trailers below. Then hunt down the flicks.

The Devil's Playthings

Today's Double Feature Friday installment of the Horror Movie October graphic design calendar card series features Idle Hands and Beetlejuice. 

"Idle Hands"
"Beetlejuice"

If you're looking to have a good time with the afterlife then hunker down for the hi-jinx of the stoner zombie comedy Idle Hands with deaths that will put Final Destination to shame, and Michael Keaton's timeless performance as the sleaziest afterlife salesman, Beetlejuice.  

Check out the trailers then hunt down the films.

So Many Teeth!

The next installment of the Horror Movie October series and a Double Feature Friday includes The Lost Boys and John Carpenter's Vampires. 

"The Lost Boys" and "John Carpenter's Vampires"

These two films are probably the best way you can spend an evening with vampires. 

James Woods, Kiefer Sutherland, and Corey Feldman AND Corey Haim? 
How can you go wrong? 

The Lost Boys is by far some of the best work that director Joel "Batnipples" Schumacher has done next to Flatliners, and I don't believe John Carpenter, the American cinema pioneer behind Halloween, They Live, and Escape from New York just to name a few, needs an introduction. 

Check the trailers, then hunt down the films. 

As always there's more to come...
