Dread Central: When Did You Become Inspired to Create Poster Art?
Chris Barnes: I wrote and produced a short film a few years ago, called BURN. The budget was tight and we needed artwork, but didn’t really have enough money left to commission an artist, so I downloaded Paint.Net and had a crack at it myself. I was an instant addict, made the jump to Photoshop soon after, taught myself the ropes and went from there. (I’ve updated the film’s poster since, by the way, as it wasn’t great, as you can probably imagine, haha!)

Jerry Smith Looks Back at His Favorite Scary Movie Posters
Jerry Smith looks back at 10 of his favorite horror movie posters including HALLOWEEN 4, DANIEL ISN T REAL, and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2
I love movie posters. Though the art of a good one-sheet seems to be saved for limited prints and homage prints these days, growing up, a film’s artwork was everything. Spending many hours staring at every poster adorning my local theaters and video stores, there was something so special about being entranced by a film, before seeing a single frame (the days of an entire film being spoiled by social media and fourteen trailers/teasers to trailers/teasers to teasers to trailers was non-existent then).
