Fonts

- Arguably, the font of the title of a film sets the mood for the rest of the 

production. Some may even say that what makes you remember a film is not the actual storyline, instead it's the film's title and its unique font. I must say I somewhat agree with this claim. For instance, whenever I see Waltograph, created by Justin Callaghan, I instantly think of Disney as a whole, instead of a singular film and its plot. 

- Scream 

Scream's font, although not as memorable as others, has a singular 
characteristic that differentiates it from others and resembles the film.

The pointy bottom of the letter M is what makes this font unique and recognizable. The M may symbolize the knife that ghost face uses to murder his victims in the films, correlating the font to the film itself.

- Horror movies are generally very easy to identify just by the font used for the title. Some very popular fonts used within the 

horror/thriller/suspense genres are Baewatch, Neurotic, and Casket.   

   -  Baewatch: Used to form nostalgia, normally from the 90's, and indicates danger. 

   -  Neurotic: Inspired by thriller, sharp-looking, and conveys a hint of aggression.

   -  Casket: textured font, resembles dusty letters, used in vintage 

horror films.
