Often times, horror movie posters turn out to be better than the films they’re selling. While we’re just as ready as the next folks to admit that some of our all-time favorites come from the horror section, it seems fair to say that the vast majority are very poor.

We observed another striking visual trope, as reported below, while looking at their 100 Illustrated Horror Film Posters (part 1 and part 2).

Check out other terrific, non-sex-punishing posters in WellMedicated’s listicle.
