Michael Coker

Eaten

Michael Coker

“He has more than a mouth to devour his prey. Beware!
The dead are not really dead ‘cos we DIG ’em up

PROJECT
The head was captured, the clenched mouth was captured separately, cut out and multiplied on the face. The open teeth was illustrated from a stock image and added to the composition. Threshold adjustment was made to the final composition. The title and credit was added to complete the piece “

The Night Creature

Tiffany Garibsingh

This movie concept was based on the Trinidadian folklore tale of the La Diablesse, the devil woman who has eyes like burning coals and the face of a corpse, she roams the streets and charms the men she encounters, luring them into the forest where they are never seen again.

The Dead Architect

Anna Chub

Movie Poster: The Dead Architect
Genre: Survival Horror/Thriller
Adobe Photoshop, author photo shoot and free stock images for additional element are used.

Story: He had everything: he was talented, had a favorite job, beautiful wife and son. And once again he decided to create a house of his dreams and live there with his family, but something had gone wrong… This House took away lives of his wife and son. He had gone mad and committed suicide. The rest is history. Since that his ghost has been living there and making traps for careless and curious fools and his house, his creation helps him to kill. To kill mercilessly!

Here’s Neary

Anthony Curran

This photo is of a colleague I work with who I think looks like Jack Nicholson and so was inspired to use him to star in my horror movie poster which like Nicholson in the Shining has a comedy aspect to the sheer terror of his character but my spin off loses the Shining aspect and has Mike starring as Nicholson. I took photos of black bin bags, white dust on black paper, used the Oil Medium Wet Flow 1 preset brush to create the ‘redrum’ text and a lot of dodge and burn and reduced noise to create the wax look. A broken piece of wood creates the aspect of him peering through a hole in a door. I have tried to intentionally catch the character of Nicholson in Mike and used bought brushes from Aaron Blaise website to add that touch of wispy hair on Mikes forehead. I know it isn’t scary but I think it captures a classic in a modern way using a lookalike. My Facebook name is my sons name (Aeson Edward Curran for privacy reasons)

Dia de los Muertos

Carlos Castro

Fish tank ornament (skull) In a black plexiglass. The texture behind was made with real smoke from a cigarrette inside the skull. In my country Mexico, Dia de los Muertos is one of the most important holidays in the year. We get to party with the dead.

Dia de los Muertos

Chris Knowles

I wanted to capture ‘Day of the dead’ in this poster. I had a very helpful model who was amazing despite having a fan blowing her hair and being chilled quite literally for the experience. If you look closely at her skin you’ll see the goose bumps. Note to self to bring a heater to my next shoot. The calligraphy was fun to produce to. All my own work apart from the hundreds of skulls that was from cgtextures. The model was face painted in photoshop and the roses and flames also added there. The circular patterns and calligraphy were created in Illustrator.

Her Shadow

Erin Dunnam

A horror movie poster about a girl and her creepy shadow.

Mirror

Graeme Garton

A beautiful young lady goes into the bathroom and notices that there is a small hole in the mirror. When she leans in to look closer she finds herself trapped inside. Don’t let her out……

Phriller

Igor Karpenko

The goal was to create a horror movie parody poster. DIY “strip” lights for edge lighting of Michael Jackson figurine are made out of cardboard tubes that were used to ship Rosco gels. I cut a 1-inch-wide rectangular hole in the tube, lined the back of the tube with household aluminum foil and mounted the tubes on top of up-facing Speedlights. Cheap costumes and makeup from a Halloween store – this is the first time we tried applying makeup. Took two days to wash it off – glad we didn’t use it on the kids.

Jack’o – In Seedy Town

Anthony Curran

Jack’o (full name Jack’o Lantern) lives in a small town called Seedy (as in what you find inside a pumpkin) near a huge farm in North America. Every Halloween he turns into a evil sadistic pumpkin due to a ‘seedy pumpkin fever’ that hit the town in the late 1980’s. He goes on a murder spree from 18.00 – 06.00 every Hallows Eve. Once Halloween is over Jack’o returns to his human form and has no memory of the night before.

They try to ignore the enviroment around them, which slowly falling apart, day to day.
