Vampire For Hire | Poster By John Godfey

Jack Woodhams loves this

For the official poster for the horror comedy short film Vampire For Hire, I wanted to fully lean into the hilarious title in a meta way. With that in mind, I designed the movie poster to look like a tear-off flyer, with the hanging tearaways appearing to be the fringed end of the vampire’s cape. The rough style of the poster reflected the street-level environment in which they would be seen, as I adapted the art to work as an actual tear-off flyer as well. Movie poster flyers are a common sight on the streets whenever a film festival is in town, and can sometimes be overlooked simply due to the abundance of them. By going old school with the tear-offs and a poster design that directly incorporates them, it grabs attention and encourages the public to interact with it. I chose the URL vamp4hire.com to sound tongue-in-cheek while also feeling in line with the other homemade street flyers that populate common areas. The URL automatically forwards visitors to the ticketing website of the current festival, so the flyer is always current in a low-maintenance way.
