Tall dripping horror caps
Vintage Horror
Vintage Horror is a tall condensed horror display in bone white with blood-red drips on a moonlit graveyard: narrow heavy caps, chipped edges, and a wet red run from the bottom of every letter, so the pair reads as a film title rather than as a seasonally decorated sans.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Vintage Horror.
The two words are stacked and the drawing is a condensed display with the melt built in: the stems are heavy and straight, the counters are narrow, and the letters end in long runs of red that hang below the baseline at different lengths. The white upper halves are chipped and speckled, which reads as old paint over stone, and the red is a single flat tone, so the print stays a two-colour job rather than a gradient. Spacing is tight, which merges the words into a slab, and the condensed width lets a long title fit while the height keeps the poster readable at distance. The ground is a full scene: a moon, a bat, a crow on a headstone and a silhouette of a house, all pushed into shadow so the type stays the only high-contrast element on the page.

Poster for a horror film night
A cinematic horror face does the work of an illustration, and the two-colour construction keeps a small venue's print cheap while the drips sell the genre instantly.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 portrait: the title at 140 mm cap height, the screening details in a 14 mm sans, and the date at 20 mm. Keep 35 mm below the drips so the small type stays clean, and print bone on black with a red second ink.
Pre-production check
Check the poster at five metres, where the red drips can merge with a dark ground; lift the red one step. Confirm the 14 mm details read at three metres and that the longest drip clears the venue line by 20 mm.
Invitation for a horror movie party
A film-title face sets a horror party in one image, and the drips give an invitation the look of a poster rather than a card, which is what guests respond to.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the phrase at 32 pt, the date and address in a 9 pt sans, and a 4 mm border. Keep 8 mm between the drips and the address line, and print two colours on a dark card so the white reads as bone.
Pre-production check
Check the 32 pt phrase on a dark card, where the thin chips can turn into noise; use the cleanest cut. Confirm the 9 pt address keeps a 4.5:1 contrast and that the drips do not run into the trim.
Label for a Halloween beer
A horror label turns a seasonal release into a collectable, and the two flat inks keep a small brewery's run affordable on a bottle label where gradients would raise the cost.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 70 by 90 mm label: the beer name at 20 pt, the style in a 7 pt sans, and the volume in 6 pt. Keep 5 mm clear inside the die so the drips are never cut, and set the red drips on a dark ground for contrast.
Pre-production check
Check the 20 pt name against the die line at 5 mm; pull the lockup in if a drip narrows the margin. Confirm the 6 pt volume reads on the curve and that the red holds on a varnished label under bar lighting.
