Examples of Font
Show of origin- DEXTER
Despite appearances this font is simple block text. However the red colour of the font ( a seminal horror colour) seems to be bleeding into the surrounding giving it the appearance that the text was written in blood. This coupled with the discrete blood splatter in the corner give a chilling blood effect very appropriate for the contents of the show. D.S

Show of origin- THE WALKING DEAD
Another simple block text font, what really makes this font effective is the colour.The dirty off white colour gives the text a decaying aesthetic which fits very well with the zombie sub-genre as it reflects the nature of the rotting antagonists. D.S

Movie of origin- SINISTER (2012)
Are you noticing a pattern? Well I am. Another simple font though for the sake of variety the font for SINISTER (2012) is far more spindly looking with the black text seemingly being smudged into the surroundings. These effects give the text a creepy aesthetic which fits almost perfectly with the unsettling content of SINISTER (2012) D.S

Movie of origin- THE WOMEN IN BLACK (2012)
Another example proving that block text is terrifying. As with DEXTER the effectiveness of this font comes from the effects put upon it. The shining white writing seems to be casting a dull ghostly echo upon the background and the writing itself seems to be written in chalk which plays to the Victorian backdrop of the movie. However this time Harry seems to be dealing with ghosts instead of dark wizards. D.S

Movie of origin- THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1919)
And now to round off this list with a golden oldie to show how far we have come as font enthusiasts and believe me, we have come far. This pre WW2 font is barely legible let alone scary and to modern eyes it looks like something you would see in a bad horror-comedy parody. Shame on you 1919 Germany, shame on you. D.S
