  • Shows location in the bottom left, creepy house
  • 'The most shocking tail of carnage ever seen' strapline
  • Lots of shadowing to represent the unknown

  • Ketchup in the burger representing blood
  • 'Drive Thru' letters at the top in the same design as a typical American fast food restaurant
  • Clowns face in the axe, showing the villain behind the weapon
  • Strap line 'Hungry for a killer meal?' using double meaning and rhetorical question


  • A few strap lines to tell the 'true story' aspect of it, designed to  scare as it actually happened, not just someone's imagination
  • Shows the killer, sly smile to make give him the clown like look
  • Face paint shows his 'disguise'
  • Red splatters at the bottom to represent blood

  • Close up of evil clown; takes up the entire poster
