From the analysis of the posters we will likely be using the style from the conjuring 2 for the poster cover as it reveals the monster and shows the protagonist trying to fight it of which is typical of the genre. For the magazine we will not be using fangoria as it has too many elements to show off the main subject of the magazine. instead we will be following the styles of Empire or Rue Morgue. This is as the covers have less elements and allow for more of the movies mise-en-cne aspects to be shown.
Film Analysis - dionne
The majority of these films are not monster horror however the horror scenes from supernaturals can be applied due to the mis-en-cne this is as demons are often shown as human-esque. This paired with the weapons used shows that the genres can be mixed effectively
