Halloween Poster Analysis

• Black background represents bad and the evil that could be in the film. Also the colour black makes the brighter colours on the poster stand out for example the pumpkin mask with the hand holding a knife. The image on the poster stands out a lot from the black background, this could be also a way of attracting the audience to the film. 
• The mask I think is made out of a pumpkin because it also links to the title of the film because it is halloween and in halloween people carve out faces from it. The mask is also holding a knife this could mean that someone is either going to get hurt or killed in the film. The hand holding the knife looks like a males hand because it is bigger and muscular. The colour around this area of the poster is an warm orange also linking to the  idea of halloween. 
• The pull quote 'the night he came home' suggest that the villain lived in an area and moved out, and the film will be about the night he came home. From this I can tell that the night he came home something horrible is going to happen. Also it states 'he' which tells the audience that the villain is male. 
• The text on the poster is white which is a neutral colour and the white stands out from the black background and draws the audience in.
