30 Days of Night - Poster Analysis

• The red colour symbolises blood and therefore gives the audience the impression that this film is going to contain a lot of blood and gore.
• The black is usually a symbolism for death, again confirming the usual horror paradigms.
• The image of a face placed on the poster looks like it could be one of a vampire.
• This is confirmed also with the title '30 days of night', the fact that it highlights the word 'night' works with the structural views of vampires not being able to be in the sun and therefore doing their killing at night time.
• This could again link with the idea of death and the idea of the end of life being black and therefore linked with night instead of day.
• The font used to write the title looks although it has been written in blood again assuring the audience that this film is a horror.
