Excellent Minimalist Horror Movie Posters

Hello reader. You don't know us, but we know you. We want to play a game. 

Don't worry, there isn't a device rigged to make your office chair explode - we do just really want to play a game. The fearful minds of HalloweenCostumes.com have amassed a gorgeous collection of 10 minimalist posters of classic horror films. Stark and grainy, each of them is worthy of becoming your next desktop background - but there's more to them than pleasant aesthetics. 

While each of the works is based on a popular title, their subjects will allude those not altogether familiar with the genre. Which film stars an axe and a typewriter? Or a pair of glasses and a syringe. 

See if you can name all of the films in the series. Live or die. It's your choice.

Or just grab a cup of tea and have a go - the answers are at the end of the article. Head over to HalloweenCostumes.com to download the images in a variety of wallpaper forms.
