Legacies of the 90s: Posters with lots of faces on them
After Scream, gone was artwork with detailed paintings of scary killers brandishing weapons and impressions of scenes from the movie, in came posters with select cast members’ faces all over them – usually in a triangular formation – selling the film on what ‘current’ teen stars were in it rather than how scary or grisly it might be. A lot like this:
Anyone care to take a ‘stab’ (har-de-har-har!) at naming the accompanying films? C’mon… at least four of these are ‘dead’ easy. OK, I’ll stop.

Hi Hud, I actually created a new website:
http://www.allhorrormovies.webs.com
That you could link to instead, I’d appreciate it! Oh, you can just call this site that I typed in above:
All Horror Movies
Thanks!
These rubbish posters also coincide with the worst horror genre ever – all these weak 90s horrors started with Scream. I remember how poor and unimaginative this crappy posters were at the time – the actual characters were equally poor. Compare this to the golden Horror era of thr 70s and 80s – the posters were absolute classics – even the obscure ropey ones were at least interesting. Sometimes hilarious.
The 90’s multi-face teen horror posters were as bland and boring as the movies.
