The Conjuring (2013) Movie Poster

7

The Conjuring was a horror movie that came out in 2013, centered around a family who faces an evil spirit in their new house, leading them to call in demonologists to help. The font used for the movie title is Adobe Garamond Pro Semibold, pulling together the eeriness and unsettling feel of the rest of the poster: the washed-out, pale color scheme, the leafless tree with a noose hanging from it, and the house itself behind it. The alignment of the house being in the center brings forth the importance of it, also because it is one of the main focuses of the movie; it is where the demonic activity is taking place, after all. This specific poster sets a good example for horror posters, showing how you can evoke emotions like dread and make viewers feel off without showing the actual threat of the movie.
