The official poster for Scream 6 is here… and it’s awesome. The horror franchise continues the trend of gathering the film’s cast around a central focal point, so it’s not very original, but this new cinematic art poster does it to incredible effect. Oh, and there’s a fan theory of a secret message hidden in the poster, can you spot it?
We’ve been on a rollercoaster lately when it comes to new movie posters. For example, the recent Ant-Man 3 posters are a Photoshop nightmare, while the John Wick 4 poster wowed fans and even managed to show off a fantastic optical illusion. Fortunately, the new Scream 6 poster is more John Wick than MCU.
When the Scream 6 poster was released, fans went wild over this design; @thehorrorchick simply tweeted, “This poster is EVERYTHING.” while other fans of the film series assumed it was fan made because it was so good (see below).
This is the official poster?!? Very cool. When I saw it in another post I thought it was (very cool) fan art.January 19, 2023
But let’s talk about this secret message. Did you notice that only two characters on the poster are looking at the viewer? Fans convince themselves that this hints at who the new Ghostface is: “The killer is on this poster,” wrote @storytellrwendy excitedly on Twitter. But really? A series like Scream, which constantly plays with expectations, wouldn’t be so obvious. I’m not sure.
This Easter egg hunt has fans analyzing where everyone else is looking, suggesting this is a map showing who’s murdering whom and a command to the characters’ ill demise. Again, I’m not sure, but you can follow the thread on Twitter (below).
Just want to point out that Jenna and Devyn are the only ones looking straight at us on the poster…then Hayden with the absolute boldest power stance you’ve ever seen…lots to note #ScreamVI pic.twitter.com/mQKmWPLg0UJanuary 19, 2023
Believe the fan hype or not, what’s great about this new Scream 6 poster is not only that the design is poster art perfection, but that it’s got fans talking, looking and thinking about the brand to get involved.
It feels like every new movie poster is having a bad time at the moment so I enjoy seeing fans love the new Scream 6 poster and thankfully there isn’t a backlash to be seen when the new one comes out Titanic movie poster design recently released.
