Ever find yourself so captivated, or completely turned off simply by a movie’s cover art? I’m diving into my top five personal favorite horror movie cover posters and exploring why first impressions really do count when it comes to the world of film and design.

  • Memorability: Iconic visuals stick with us long after we’ve seen the movie, or even if we haven’t!
