“Hellraiser” reimagined poster & opening movie credits

“Hellraiser” is one of my favorite horror films of all time, it is iconic, unsettling, and fully committed to its era. But like all great horror icons, it deserves a little resurrection. My reimagined poster strips the imagery down to what’s become unmistakable in pop culture: the silhouette of Pinhead. At this point, that outline is all you need. Horror fans see it and immediately feel the terror. It is about restraint, atmosphere and negative space.

As for the opening credits (at the bottom) the original did not do the film justice. So lets say it was necessary.
