Anatomy of a horror poster

Most horror posters follow the same quiet rules: one strong image, a short title in heavy or elegant type, a tagline that hints rather than explains, and the dense block of credits at the bottom known as the billing block. Restraint is what makes them work. A single figure in a doorway is scarier than a crowded collage.

This maker sets your photo behind a grade of your choice, places the title and tagline in proportions taken from theatrical one-sheets, and builds a condensed billing block from the names you type. The typefaces are bundled with the site, so nothing is fetched from elsewhere, and the poster is drawn on a canvas you can download.

Questions

Can I use the poster commercially?

The poster is yours, but you are responsible for the rights to any photo you add. The bundled typefaces are under the SIL Open Font License.

Which poster shapes are available?

Theatrical one-sheet (27×40), a 2:3 print size and a square social post.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. The poster is composed in your browser and never leaves your device.
