And Yet Another Creepy ‘WOMAN IN BLACK’ Poster

I’ve seen so many effectively creepy images, trailers, and posters for Hammer’s gothic tale of ghostly terror that I just want the film to be here by now and be done with it.  The media campaign behind The Woman in Black has done a fine job of getting me interested in the film but it seems like a new image or clip is around the corner ready to jump out at me every day.  To some extent, I shouldn’t complain.  The film ranks high on my anticipation meter and I have no doubt that this film will re-solidify Hammer Films as a talented studio to compete with even following its disappointing financial run with Let Me In.  In a matter of weeks we will able to see if the film lives up to its atmospheric marketing.  For now, enjoy a new poster clearly inspired by the work of Edward Gorey.

Updated: We have updated the earlier image with the final version of the poster.

For those of you that are curious if this poster will be available for purchase, we are currently being told it will be. Where it will be sold is still up in the air.

 

 

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
