What If Children’s Board Games Were Horror Movie Posters?

What if…the magic words. They have brought about innumerable wondrous things, and as we eagerly wait for Halloween, we get to see yet another terrific result of someone asking “What if…?”

Designer Justin Bryant has gifted us with horror movie posters based on children’s board games.

In reply to “What if children’s board games were movie horror movie posters?”, the all-around nerd created something (or some things) every horror fan can appreciate.

Take a look-see for yourself. We hope these enhance your childhood and not ruin it!

WHAT IF?! • New series I’m making to pass the time while work is still scarce. I wanted to revisit an older idea I had, while also comparing how my skills have changed, and do a new version of a Hungry Hippos horror movie poster. • @blumhouse is one of my personal favorite horror movie production companies, so why not pretend to have them take on this @hasbro license? • Finishing this poster sparked the desire to explore this concept more, child games twisted into a scary/dark/horror theme, so I’ve turned it onto a series and will continue to add to it. • What children’s board game would you like to see twisted? • #photoshop #adobe #movieposter #graphicdesign #art #design #composite #photomanipulation #photocomposite #hasbro #hungryhippos #blumhouse #hasbro @ampposters

WHAT IF?! • Next poster in the children’s games twisted into a scary movie series. This one is a tad different, as it most likely wouldn’t be considered a “horror” film, but letting @timburton handle this title just felt right. • I mean, a giant snake made out of black licorice? Come on now. • This poster has 483 layers and took a VERY long time to put together, haha. The layout was tricky but I think it came out really cool! This could easily be redone as triptych landscape poster. Hope you like it! • What children’s board game would you like to see twisted? • #photoshop #adobe #movieposter #graphicdesign #art #design #composite #photomanipulation #photocomposite #hasbro #timburton #hasbro #candyland

WHAT IF?! • A common game that has been suggested over the craziness that has been the last 48 hours – Chutes and Ladders is now a horror film! ? • This was one of my favorite games growing up, so naturally it was one of the first games I worked on for this series. I couldn’t get “giant death slide” out of my head while thinking of concepts for this one, so I went with it. • If you’ve been following along with this series, it’s now available as prints!

WHAT IF?! • Don’t Get Caught. Mouse Trap, the all new original horror movie from SyFy • Fun fact, the entire room, besides the pipes, was built from scratch in Photoshop. Add in some mice, Few pipes, take a photo of myself laying in my office, and you end up with this. • If you’ve been following along with this series, it’s now available as prints!

WHAT IF?! • Evil lurks beneath in the upcoming creature thriller, Don’t Break the Ice! • Had to throw in the ice pick as a nice little nod to the original game. • This one challenged me to get the correct vibe as far as coloring. The first two I saved and thought “ok its done” just didn’t sit well with me when coming back to it. I was getting more action thriller than I was scary thriller. • If you’ve been following along with this series, it’s now available as prints!

WHAT IF?! • I’m back with a new children’s game horror movie poster design. This time, COOTIE. • I switched the name to be plural simply because I thought it made more sense with the image concept I came up with. Sue me ??‍♂️ • Getting the centipedes to look like they were under the woman’s skin was a fun process to figure out. • If you’ve been following along with this series, it’s now available as prints!
