Mood and styling: The mood and styling of this poster is based on the night of Halloween, as the sky is dark which looks like hell fire or a large pumpkin. The mood shows the reader that the man/mask in the poster is in control, as the image represents the sky this could suggest he takes on the title of god (reference to the sky). The images in the mask fade out near the edges which could symbolize death or the masks superiority over the people in the mask. From the image we see that this is a horror from the common conventions of the knife, mask and the dark atmosphere. Much of the film’s appeal lies in its aesthetics informed by the major artistic movements of the era: German expressionism, art nouveau and art deco. Dark and disturbing framing, cold architecture, sharp contrasts … the film’s murky is capped magnificently by the font used for the title!a b Berardinelli, James. "review of Halloween". ReelViews.
