More so than any other genre, the film poster has played a hugely significant role in the history of horror. From the early iconic Universal monsters of the '30s, to the over the top B-movies of the '50s and the grotesque, lurid artwork of the '80s' video nasties, the horror poster has continually reinvented itself.

This gallery takes a look back at each decade, and pinpoints the poster that takes the crown for being the best of that particular era. Whether through it's iconic imagery, inventive artwork or creepy subtelty, these are the posters that have stood the test of time, and have gone on to represent more than just the film they were used to market.

I'm pretty good at writing screenplays, news articles, film & TV lists, short stories and reviews. Terrible at writing bios.
