Product description
In the eerie visual language of 1980s supernatural cinema, this composition relies on the stark contrast of light and shadow to create a sense of impending dread. The artwork features the central silhouette of a young girl with her hands pressed against the white noise of a glowing television set, emerging from a void of deep black ink.
About vintage horror posters
Painters such as Drew Struzan and John Alvin created many of the decade’s most famous posters. The original dates from 1982. From Universal’s monsters to modern art-house horror, the genre has produced some of cinema’s most striking poster art.
Styling this vintage horror poster
With its black-and-white palette and minimalist atmosphere, this vintage horror poster brings instant personality to a wall. In a dorm room, “Poltergeist” works as a 24×36″ statement piece above a console, or at 12×18″ to 16×20″ in a hallway or gallery wall. The monochrome tones of “Poltergeist” sit happily with warm or cool interiors alike; try a thin white or oak frame with a generous white mat. “Poltergeist” also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller black-and-white pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps.
