Product description
A sense of impending dread radiates from the glowing red eyes peering out of the deep, central void. Above the title, a pair of textured, oversized orange hands reach forward as if to bridge the gap between the screen and reality, set against a backdrop of turbulent purple clouds and sharp blue lightning bolts.
About 1980s film posters
Painters such as Drew Struzan and John Alvin created many of the decade’s most famous posters. Horror has the boldest poster tradition in cinema, from Expressionist shadows to modern minimalism. The original dates from 1983. 1980s posters are known for painted adventure, neon sci-fi and video-store nostalgia.
Styling this 1980s movie poster
Blue, red and orange tones give this 1980s movie poster a moody character that holds a room. The tall format of “Nightmares” suits narrow walls, hallways and the space beside a doorway, and it is a natural fit for a dorm room; 18×24″ is a versatile middle size. The blue, red and orange palette of “Nightmares” pairs naturally with white walls, navy or denim textiles and pale oak; finish it with a black or antique-gold frame.
