BEST OF THE BILLBOARDS

Celebrating the best, worst and weirdest movie posters out there

WORDS ABIGAIL CHANDLER

CANDYMAN

Candyman keeps it nice and simple with a lot of white space, focusing instead on the villain’s weapon of choice and a tagline that

will take you right back to childhood sleepovers crowded in front of a bathroom mirror testing your bottle! It’s simple and effective,

and a nice touch that the hook is dripping in honey rather than blood – and there’s a little bee there, just to give you yet more

traumatic flashbacks.

BLACK WIDOW

This poster isn’t taking any risks

but it makes great use of that

immediately recognisable Black

Widow pose.

BEST FILM

MONSTER HUNTER

This poster boldly tells us

that you’re not here for Milla

Jovovich – you’re here for her

sword. And that’s fair enough.

SEASON TWO

It’s the gorgeously psychedelic

umbrella motif that we really like

here – that and the playful logo,

with its little umbrella hat.
