Working with the Knoxville Horror Film Fest has certainly been a blast. I feel very fortunate to be able to work with such a great group of horror enthused individuals. That being said, I am excited to show you all the newest promotional piece I have designed for Knoxville Horror Film Fest’s next screening, Dead Alive. Not only will we be able to watch Dead Alive in a theater setting, but there will also be food served at this event, “Sumatran Rat Monkey Burgers” and Custard, to be exact.

For this piece I wanted to capture some of the essence of the era the movie is set in, and also the humor of the film. Inspired by the famous custard scene, I decided to create a fake box of Mom’s Custard and wanted to play with colors and elements that would feel like they could be pulled out of an advertisement from the 1950’s.
