Heads Up: Jay Shaw's "The Amityville Horror" Movie Poster

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day, but now we're moving on to the important stuff. The really, really important stuff. I'm of course talking about Skuzzles' latest print release, which aims to commemorate the Lutz family's trial of terrors experienced circa 1979. And what better way to celebrate the original Amityville Horror than by letting artist Jay Shaw take a stab at it. Wouldn't you know it, Jay has designed an absolutely stunning poster that creatively captures the film's descent into madness. The artist discussing his process (taken from the Skuzzles blog):

"As you know I tend to follow the Polish school of poster design so my stuff is usually very conceptual and a bit weird. I'm not a big fan of obvious design. I also like strong central images on top of stark backgrounds. To me you get the most visual punch doing things that way.

Out of the chimney is pouring a highly detailed smokey ectoplasm that makes up George's face. Replacing George's eyes are the infamous windows that serve as the house's eyes. The idea here is that George is becoming the evil that is the house. It's also a nod to his incessant 'chill' and need to stack log after log into the fireplace."

Also, I freaking love the retro title typography.
