Stickers can be a subtle expression of identity, just like a pin or patch on a well-worn denim jacket. They are small marks that hint at a person’s tastes, interests, or obsessions. Maybe you were at work and glanced at your desk and saw a professional laptop with metal band There is a sticker on it to indicate that there is a metal head near you. Maybe you’re stuck in traffic and the car in front of you has a red, white and blue Punisher skull sticker on its back window, immediately telling you to change lanes, maybe duck into a car with a kiss Just to be safe, put a sticker on it.
The point is, stickers are a great way to let people know your personality. This is an illustrator’s thing Andy Price Seems keenly aware of his own horror stickers, collected in the aptly named Extreme Horror Sticker Book. The book contains over 500 stickers of every shape, size, horror, body part, and cursed object you can imagine. The variety of content on display is sure to satisfy horror fans from every corner, with some clever references to classic films and iconic monsters truly elevating the design.
Posted by: Simon and Schuster through their adams media Imprint, this book is a treasure trove for horror lovers, with 7 to 8 stickers per page, and some of the designs are repeated here and there. Most of them are completely different from each other. It’s an impressive feat that has allowed Price to branch out into all areas of the horror genre.
The stickers aren’t strictly separated by theme or monster category, but there’s a loose sense of interconnection between them, with classic monsters like werewolves and vampires being close enough to each other to allow for some correspondence, and monsters like “The Horror” , “Nightmare” and “Poison” are also within reach.
Where Price really shows off his talent and his love for the genre is with his tribute stickers. Featuring recognizable silhouettes or thinly veiled approximations of horrific locations and objects, these pieces instantly stand out to fans so they can place them into films where they belong.
One of the most striking is an image of a giant skull with wide yellow eyes, hidden behind a mountain range. it reminds one of the title Wes Craven 1977 classic Mountains have eyes. The other is a silhouette of a tall man in blue overalls holding a bloody knife in the shadows, an obvious reference to John Carpenter’s halloween (1978). Just a few pages earlier, a kid was dressed like a witch, wearing a jack-o’-lantern mask that looked like it was straight out of a book. Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982). Look carefully and you may even find that from Amityville terror incident (1979) Staring out the window.
The fun is looking for every reference and every homage and then deciding which one you want to put on your water bottle, laptop or phone. But Price isn’t just interested in hardcore horror fans. There are enough creepy dolls, bats, and demons here to satisfy even the most casual fan. Then there are the original creations, creatures so bizarre and disturbing that they could easily have spawned their own movie series. One features a bat-winged skull with a bunch of tentacles attached to it, giving it a Cthulhu-like feel to those in the know. Others are zombies with wounds Tom Savini run for his money
