Countdown: The Top 20 American Horror Movie Posters--#17

[For previous entry, click here.]


#17. The Blair Witch Project

This chiaroscuro poster does a terrific job of establishing the woods' overarching ominousness, not to mention the camera-facing perspective featured in the faux-documentary film.  The printed exposition (topped by that mysterious cruciform symbol) also works as a perfect hook.  Understated--much like The Blair Witch Project itself--the poster haunts by hinting at the dark fantastic.

Please note: Disagreement is inevitable; disparagement is intolerable. You can differ from someone else's opinion without having to resort to an attack on that person (any improper/insulting commentary will be deleted from this blog). So please remember to show some civility to your M.R. brethren. Thanks--Joe.
