ensemble poster design — Oversized Title, Bottom Title

A painted horror movie poster of a tall caped adult man looming over three adult women against a white background, crowned by a huge black title with a white cross. At the top of the frame, an adult man with slicked black hair and chalk-pale skin towers over the scene, wearing a long black cape that billows to the right. His right hand extends downward with fingers curled like claws, a thin trickle of red blood at the corner of his mouth. At the center, a blonde adult woman in mustard-yellow flared trousers throws both arms above her head, her hair flying. Beside her, a red-haired adult woman in a blue denim top and shorts clutches her own chest, her face turned away. In the foreground, a brunette adult woman in a pink top and red shorts sprawls diagonally with her eyes half-closed, one arm flung out toward the left edge. Behind the blonde woman, a smaller adult figure in dark clothing reaches toward her from the shadows of the cape. The white background is nearly empty, with faint blue brushstrokes of mist curling around the women's legs. Across the bottom of the frame, massive black block letters spell "TITLE", a white cross forming part of one letter. Beneath the main title, smaller black block letters read "A.D.1972". The title letters overlap the sprawled woman's outstretched arm and the hem of the cape. The lighting is bright and illustrative, flat painted daylight that pops the women's tanned skin and saturated clothing against the stark white ground while the caped adult man's form sinks into inky black shadow. Overall, the poster balances the towering vertical cape against the horizontal sprawl of the women, pairs stark black and white with bursts of yellow, red and pink, renders everything in a lurid 1970s painted-exploitation style, and sustains a mood of predatory, vampiric menace.
