Making a good horror film is one thing, having an iconic horror movie poster to match is another.
The amount of incredible movie artwork made within the genre of horror is actually incredibly impressive when you consider the amount of films we could name simply from looking at a small piece of the poster.
But which are the most iconic? We look at 10 horror movie posters that we think are the best ever.
5. Alien
'In space, no one can hear you scream'. Iconic. Perfect. Unforgettable. | 20th Century Studios
6. Scream
'Someone has taken their love of horror movies one step too far'. The beginning of one of the most loved and best horror franchises ever. Scream is a 90s hit that will never go out of fashion. | Dimension Films
7. Nightmare On Elm Street
The first glance of Freddy Kreuger's claw and the nightmare that continues to this day. Classic. | New Line Cinema
8. The Thing
'The ultimate in alien terror'. It is actually hard to believe how old The Thing is given how modern it looks - and that poster is just beautiful. | Universal Pictures
