Dracula by Eric Rohman, 1931

This striking Swedish poster for the 1931 classic Dracula uses bold Art Deco geometry to sell pure terror. Designer Rohman contrasts a looming, sickly-green visage of Bela Lugosi against a pitch-black void, his claw-like hand reaching down toward the unsuspecting victim below. The typography screams in bright orange, promising 'The Mystery of Dracula' to Swedish audiences. It's a masterclass in minimalist horror, proving you don't need gore to be scary—just a giant green face and a sleeping beauty in peril.
