Halloween (2018) by Matt Talbot

I saw the new Halloween and loved it! Jamie Lee ruled, there were some fun callbacks and a bunch of good scares (everyone’s entitled to at least one). So I made a poster this morning. Sure, I’ve drawn a lot of Michael Myers lately, but I don’t mind.

Dracula A.D. 1972 poster by Matt Talbot

My October work schedule continues to be very busy, but I’m still trying to fit in some spooky posters as I can. So here’s one for one of my favorite Hammer Films, Dracula A.D. 1972! Is it, objectively speaking, the best Hammer Dracula film? Maybe not. But, it’s tremendously fun and I just love it. Christopher Lee just can’t be beat. Neither can Peter Cushing.

All month long, I will be drawing 2-color posters for my favorite spooky movies.

HALLOWEEN (1978) by Matt Talbot

As many of you know, I’ve spent three of the last four Octobers drawing a horror poster each day. For this reason, October is my favorite month, and I enjoy the challenge immensely. That being said, it’s an enormous amount of work and last year it took me months to recover. It has also led to me getting “real” movie poster work and this year, that work is sadly going to prevent me from drawing 31 posters. But! I’m going to look on the bright side and fit in as many as I can. It won’t be daily, but hopefully it will still be fun. My plan is to revisit some of my favorite horror films and give them the ol’ two-color treatment. I’m starting things off with one of my favorite movies (not just favorite horror movies, but favorite movies, period): the oft-imitated but never matched HALLOWEEN by John Carpenter!
