Halloween-Rob Zombie 2007
Halloween-John Carpenter 1978
Almost 30 years had passed between the making of the original Halloween and the 2007 remake by Rob Zombie. I wasn't alive in 1978, but I would imagine that the movie poster from the original Halloween would have invoked a sense of fear in the minds of the people seeing it. The dark background with a knife and a pumpkin head that resembles the knife. Special effects weren't nearly as good back then as they are today, but the simplicity of the poster along with the words "The Night He Came Home!" would definitely get my imagination going. The Rob Zombie version has almost the exact same font on the word Halloween as the original poster. However it is filled with orange that looks almost like fire. Instead of having a hand on the front of his poster, Rob Zombie put a picture of the killer on his. The killer is holding a knife in one hand and either a mask or head in the other. Something that is similar on the new one is the sort of photo mosaic effect. The killers head is in the background on the new one filled with images on the movie. The original poster had a pumpkin that looked like knives. Both of the posters have one line of text that is meant to get the viewers imagination going. In almost 30 years, the style of these posters has changed a lot, but the overall theme hasn't changed very much. The creator of the poster wanted to scare the viewer so that they would come see the movie.
