Halloween: The Game

Poster concept inspired by Halloween: The Game, created in Affinity by combining several illustrations from the game, including the Orange Grove Estates setting and Michael Myers’ mask. I experimented with visual effects, overlays, and textures to create a composition that captures the game’s horror atmosphere.

Choosing the setting

I started with Orange Grove Estates, one of the locations featured in Halloween: The Game. The choice was deliberate, Orange Grove references North Orange Grove Avenue in Los Angeles, where the Doyle and Wallace houses are located, both associated with some of the most iconic scenes in the 1978 film Halloween. I wanted to build the poster around a location already closely connected to Michael Myers, creating a foundation that fans would recognize.

Typography and details

I experimented with different typefaces, modifying and refining them to match the atmosphere of the game. I also applied visual effects to the typography and added PEGI rating symbols to evoke the visual language commonly found in video game promotional materials.

The character’s signature symbol

Once I had established the setting, I chose Michael Myers mask as the main element of the composition. It is an instantly recognizable symbol that evokes the character without needing to show him in full. The idea follows a similar approach used in other horror franchises, where an iconic mask or location can be enough to bring a character to mind.

Effects and final touches

In the final phase, I focused on the overall visual finish. I experimented with the Subtract and Divide blend modes, adding grain, overlays, and distressed textures. These elements helped give the poster a more weathered and unsettling look while keeping the overall composition visually consistent.
