Pathos. In his essay, King uses pathos to amuse his readers but also to create in them a feeling of fear and excitement. Pathos is created when King reminds his readers of the feeling of excitement and fear they get when they ride a rollercoaster: “the way we may scream when the roller coaster twists through a complete 360 or plows through a ...

- The Exorcist logo. The classic 1973 film about a girl possessed by a demon was so terrifying, it reportedly provoked fainting and vomiting attacks in cinemas, and was banned by a number of local authorities in the UK.
- The Omen logo. A 1976 horror about a child of the devil being born into the modern era, The Omen courted controversy by incorporating the Satanic number 666 into the ‘O’ of this logo, featured on its first theatrical poster by Tom Jung.
- The Shining logo. Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of Stephen King’s novel is considered one of the greatest horror movies of all time. So it’s fitting that its logo was created by one of the film world’s greatest graphic designers, Saul Bass.
- Friday the 13th logo. One of the most successful franchises in history, giving birth to 12 films and counting, Friday the 13th began with a 1980 horror about a group of teenagers who get killed, one by one, at a camp.

To be honest, I could have probably made this entire list from Suspiria. it’s a gorgeous film that uses everything it can. The classic super vibrant Gialloreds for blood, warm orange-yellows from streetlights reflecting on faces, blues and pinks as background lights…it’s got the whole rainbow. Suzy is our guide to this fantastical dance academy tha...
The debut of Panos Cosmatos, who went on to make the equally stunning Mandy, Beyond the Black Rainbow is a retro-inspired dreamlike sci-fi horror involving an institute that tests psychic abilities and how to transcend human consciousness. The institute’s building is mainly white with splashes of a tangerine orange on the floors and in the lights, ...
The most recent release on this list, I was immediately struck by how color plays a role in Honeydew. The title is a great descriptor: everything has a rich, dark yellow hue that is both comforting and unsettling. The majority of the plot taking place at a seemingly kind old woman’s house definitely adds to this dichotomy. The honey shade seeps int...
It’s great that such a long-running franchise like Saw kept with a mostly consistent color scheme, using harsh and grimy greens. So much of the films take place in abandoned buildings and use old cobbled-together materials for the traps that the green rust must be just everywhere. I feel like I need a tetanus shot watching some of these scenes. Do ...
Considering The Neon Demon is a movie about fashion models, it makes perfect sense for it to be as stylish and sleek as possible. Like Suspiria, it uses many colors to tell an eerie story, but the ones that stand out the most to me are the blues. Sky blue pastels, deep oceanic shades, and of course, neons. Visually, blues seem to have two general m...
I fully stand behind ranking From Beyond above The Re-Animator for Stuart Gordon films. I love both—there’s just something about this one that speaks to me more. Pink ismy favorite color, so maybe that’s it. In it, the characters use a machine known as the Resonator that washes everything in pink tones and lets you see monstrous creatures. Pink isn...
To have something so alien and beyond our understanding also be represented by a beautiful and mysterious purple is something I can get behind. It’s not a common color in nature, and historically it was used by royals and elites to show status. In the original Lovecraft story (as with many of his stories), the color is indescribable and outside of ...
He wants to cause death on a larger scale and he spends vast swathes of the movie having a tripped out self-debate on the nature of reality. With his bushy eyebrows and greying hair (which changes ...

Mar 18, 2023 · The poster for The Conjuring uses some of codes and conventions of horror to grab the audience’s attention. First, the title denotes paranormal tricks and demonic possession. The references to Saw and Insidious establishe the director’s genre credibility. Of course, the lonely farmhouse looks forsaken along the rough and misty trees.
