I recently stumbled onto a FearNet post covering some of their favorite Illustrated Horror film posters, and while their list is solid, I feel like it left off a few of my all-time favorites. So, this list was born.  Plus, I’m bored with top ten lists, so this one goes to 11!

Did I miss one of your favorites?  If so, post it in the comments section below! 

Credits: I couldn’t have pulled this list together without the help of  Well Medicated’s list of 100 Illustrated Posters.  These posters were grabbed from IMP Awards and Wrong Side of the Art.

Check out Phantom City Creative ‘s collection of five limited edition posters, marking the 5th year of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. The posters include Let the Right One In, Dead Snow, Repo: The Genetic Opera, Mulberry St., and Behind the Mask.  You can buy hand-signed/numbered 11 x 17 versions of these posters over at their Etsy store, but as of today, the Let the Right One In is sold out!

This year I was lucky enough to participate in the 2010 SXSW/AIGA Austin Film  poster awards. This was the second year of this contest. Now apart of the SXSW Film Design Awards, which has awards for both “Excellence in Title Design” and “Excellence in Poster Design.”

While I didn’t win, I feel so inspired by all the amazing design that was part of the show. It is truly amazing to see the quality of work being created for the independent film scene.
