Movie Posters - Horror Suspense Movies (35 HQ Pics)

A film poster is a poster used to advertise a film. There may be several versions for one film. It usually contains an image with text.

The text contains the film title and often the names of the main actors. It may also include a tag line, the name of the director, names of characters, the release date, etc.

Film posters are displayed inside and on the outside of movie theaters, and elsewhere on the street. The same image would appear in a film exhibitor’s pressbook and may also be used on websites, DVD-packaging, flyers, advertisements in newspapers and magazines, etc.

Use of such posters goes back to the earliest public exhibitions of film, where they began as outside placards listing the programme of (short) films to be shown inside the hall or movie theater.

By the early 1900s, they began to feature illustrations of a scene from each individual film or an array of overlaid images from several scenes.

Other movie posters have used artistic interpretations of a scene or even the theme of the film, represented in a wide variety of artistic styles. Movie posters are produced in a large number of sizes to meet various advertising needs.
