The Howling (1981)

The clever thing about this image is that it screams “werewolf movie” without ever showing one on the poster. Beautifully illustrated like most horror film posters of its time, the photo-realism really seals the deal for me. Again, it’s the simplicity of the concept that makes it so strong. Now that I look at it with fresh eyes, the tagline is actually kind of weak in comparison. You’d think they could’ve come up with something better than that, eh?
