Similarities and Differences

According to the specific horror movie posters I have analysed, I have noticed that mostly all horror posters follow the same patterns. the three posters I have analysed are based on the sub-genre I am focusing on.
I have found a few differences and similarities between the horror genre poster and non-horror genre posters. one of the main key difference between a horror poster and a non-horror poster is colour.
Horror posters use darker and duller colours than for example a comedy movie poster. As for example the colour red connotes to the devil and evil it'll be used in horror posters and not a colour such as yellow which connotes happiness.
Most posters have a strapline. This tell us a bit about the film because it gives us a slight hint as the strapline might be a quote from the film. Also most films use an image on the poster that relates to the movie. They might take a screenshot of a scene and use it or the could do a special photo shoot for the main image on the poster.
