The haunting in connecticut - Poster Analysis

• The fact that they are all holding hands at the table gives the impression that they are some type of mediums and trying to contact the dead.
• The room is dark therefore symbolises the dark things that has happened in that room.
• The room is lit by candle light showing an ounce of hope, a sense of a 'light at the end of the tunnel'
• Along with this a boy is also hanging on the ceiling in a similar stance as Jesus was on a crucifix suggesting the idea of sacrifice.
• The writing 'based on true events' is meant to amplify horror as it leads people to believe that similar events that occur in this movie could also occur in their lives.
• The fact that the border of the poster is red symbolises the bloodshed that the film contains.
• The title is white so that it can therefore stand out and catch people’s attention.
• The caption to the poster says 'What if the only explanation for what you saw was unbelievable?' again trying to scare the audience into thinking that some things that occur in this film may seem like the supernatural, but is in fact true.
