Slasher: poster design
For the 2014-15 season's annual Halloween-related show, the Hippodrome produced Slasher, a campy, weird, and spectacularly bloody parody of Hollywood horror movies and a surprisingly insightful exploration of the portrayal of women in horror films. I thought it would be fun to take the stereotypes of women in horror and exaggerate them as much as possible for the poster, so I created a collage of women from the covers of actual pulp mystery and horror novels. This monstrous visual spills from the head of one girl, the "final girl," Slasher's main character and perhaps the most prevalent horror movie stereotype of them all.
