What movie is this?
This is a thing you can buy that has the alphabet styled with the logo of various "classic" horror movies. We're struggling with "A". Anyone know what "A" is?

I posted it on Twitter and a bunch of people said Alien/Aliens. I don't think they're right. I'll do some digging.

Re: What movie is this?
It's definitely not Alien/Aliens. Or AVP. I'm so confused.
EDIT: I mean, I get it, Alienses are known for the A without the line through it, BUT all the other characters on that sheet appear to have been directly copy/pasted from the movie they're from (or posters of the movie), not "kinda like it". So I still feel like it has to be something else, because no Alien thing looks exactly like that.

Well, I guess it is Alien. Here is a screencap of the opening credits, AS the right-hand-side of the A is fading in. Pretty obscure, but kinda cool, too:

The only one I recognize out of all of those is the O. It's "The Omen."

BTW, your images are not showing up for me (I have to copy the link and manually paste it into a new tab). Anyone else?

All I got was O as well. My knowledge of horror movie posters is nil.

i just thought it was a template kidnappers used to create ransom notes. That, or a Font Control Sheet for Comic Sans.
Given the general rise in expenses and fall in the typical standard of living, the future ain't what it used to be.
