Horror Magazine

As part of our horror movie campaign we has to make a magazine cover which advertised our horror movie. I managed to find this horror movie magazine in Forbidden Planet. It uses the typical horror movie colour scheme of black, white and red. The title font relates to Japanese horror which is thought of by many to be the country which most goriest horror movies. They have used a masthead to advertise the many articles which are inside the magazine. The image on the front is very different to a horror movie poster image. On the cover of a magazine the images are always a lot more commercial. In this one the stars are standing powerfully in the centre of the image. They are all holding weapons which shows that this magazine is tough and masculine. The clever slogan, 'bloody good show' slightly to it to show the chaos of the movie genre. Every part of the style and layout of the magazine relates back to the horror movie theme
