Halloween | Art of the Title

Perhaps one of the scariest soundtracks ever and titlewise "The sequence plays like a blackhearted processional we’d like to writhe away from but the pull of this simpleton’s grin has us. A flicker to contemplate and a well timed fade to black of the image leaves only Carpenter’s credit and his music. And our eyes, open with fear."

Fantastic Pulp Fiction Covers

"The term pulp fiction originally referred to "pulp" paper magazines of the late 19th century, such as Weird Tales and The Strand, which featured the work  of such prolific literary masters as H.G. Wells  (The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds), Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, (The Lost World, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes) J.R.R. Tolkien (Lord of the Rings) and Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan of the Apes). Generally, pulp fiction stories focused on man struggling with dark, powerful and often, evil forces -- both internal and external -- beyond his control. By the early and mid-20th century, pulp fiction, with its mix of science fact and speculative fiction, launched a new era and genre of fantasy stories with compelling alternative or parallel realities."
