This book is a very useful reference book for artists looking to create the mood associated with horror, and sometimes terror. The collection of posters are from the 20th century, with most of them from the 1930s to 2000s. Recognizable titles include Silence of the Lambs, An American Werewolf, Carrie, Jaws, The Birds, Psycho and many other more.

The examples included contrast strongly with the horror posters we see in the 21st century. Current horror posters usually go for more photographic and gritty style. The old school uses illustrations with a strong play on colours.

To conclude, this book is plenty of fun.
