    The backslide of horror art is something that transcends medium, it’s a genre-wide epidemic.
    As rough as horror movies have it, though, the state of horror BOOK covers is especially dire. It’s been covered before, but it really does break my heart just how generic the covers of horror novels are these days.

    Even if it's just a floating head, I think the Scream 1 poster works incredibly well for this specific movie, being a lot on the meta of horror movies, commenting on that and making fun of it. In that case, the floating head-celebrity is actually a good use to subvert expectations by drawing people in BECAUSE it's a celebrity they know, only to find our she gets killed in the beginning of the movie.

    I have so much nostalgia going to Blockbuster in the early 2000s, especially for the horror section. Both posters and box art fascinated and scared me in equal measure.
    Like, I remember how much the posters for the first two Jeepers Creepers movies, well, creeped me out, especially the second one with the Creeper disguised as a scarecrow. This latter one was a little further back in the store and I remember staying away from that back part of the store because of how that poster unnerved me. I also remember the box art for Eight-Legged Freaks scaring me. And I remember really liking the box art for, of all things, Shark Attack 3!
    Such good times...

    I feel asleep to the pluto tv horror channel once and woke up in the middle of the night to the exact scene of Haunting in Connecticut that was on the cover. That was an experience.
    Also I'll watch movies on my phone sometimes for the privacy factor of just having a screen I can only see and headphones only I can hear, but it's definitely a better experience on a larger screen for sure. This was a great video that put a lot things I've felt into words better than I could have.

    I agree that the "just faces" style sucks in comparision to actually making a cool piece of art that represents the film, but i think humans just have a preference for other human faces. I don't have many followers, but i try to post my art online. projects I spend hours on and am so proud of never get as many likes as just me posting a selfie. I'm not a model. most of my followers are people i know irl, so i think its just that they recognize my face more than my work.
