DARK AUGUST (1976) Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet: Design Description

This refrigerator magnet showcases the chilling artwork of the original 1976 movie poster for Dark August. The design perfectly embodies the vintage horror/thriller aesthetic of the era, immediately conveying a sense of dread and occult mystery.

A Scene of Terror

The central image depicts a scene of stark terror. A man, seemingly caught in a dire situation, is the focus. Details like the man's jeans suggest a vulnerability, grounding the supernatural elements in a tangible fear.

Ominous Presence

Dominating the background is the chilling presence of an older man's face, a harbinger of the film's central curse. The size and placement of this face create an inescapable sense of being watched, amplifying the feeling of dread.

Symbolism of the Design

The entire composition is packed with symbolic elements. The terrified man likely represents the protagonist's struggle against an unseen, malevolent force. The nails holding up the man's jeans is an odd detail that makes the terror more apparent. The looming face embodies the curse itself, visually representing the power and malevolence of the occult forces at play. The overall design suggests themes of guilt, punishment, and the inescapable nature of evil.

Vintage Horror Aesthetic

True to its 1970s roots, the artwork employs high-contrast lighting and hand-illustrated elements to evoke a chilling atmosphere. The color palette and visual style are deliberately unsettling, creating an unforgettable image that lingers in the viewer's mind.

Die-cut refrigerator magnets made from flexible vinyl with a matte surface and a solid black magnetic backing. Available in five sizes, they stick strongly to metal while staying easy to move and reposition.

These magnets feel substantial but bend slightly when needed — a balance that helps them conform to smooth metal without cracking. The matte finish softens reflections under kitchen lighting so colors read clearly without glare. Because each piece is cut to the artwork’s outline, the result looks neat and thoughtfully finished.

The black backing delivers consistent contrast on shiny surfaces, and printing uses modern, low-impact inks that keep tones lively through everyday handling. They are built to be handled, moved, and displayed repeatedly without losing form or adhesion.

  • Material: flexible vinyl with a black magnetic backing for reliable holding power.
  • Finish: matte coating that reduces glare and preserves color depth.
  • Printing: full-color, eco-conscious inks for crisp details and vibrant hues.
  • Durability: designed for frequent use on smooth metal surfaces; resists peeling and warping.
  • Precision: die-cut edges follow the artwork; extremely fine islands or slivers may blend during cutting.

Perfect for refrigerator doors, magnetic whiteboards, steel lockers, or metal filing cabinets. They’re also handy for displays at events or temporary signage where you want a neat, movable solution.

  1. Prep: remove dust and grease with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth, then allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Place: set the magnet flat, press from the center outward to make full contact and remove any trapped air.
  3. Reposition: lift gently and move if needed — avoid folding or pinching along the same tight crease repeatedly.

Heads-up: very intricate artwork can look slightly different after die-cutting; tiny, closely spaced pieces may join together in production.

To keep magnets looking their best, dust them off with a soft microfiber cloth. For smudges, use a barely damp cloth and blot dry immediately — don’t soak the magnet or use abrasive scrubs.

Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads, which can dull the matte surface or damage the backing. With simple, gentle care your magnets will stay crisp and retain their hold for a long time.

Sizes are listed by the magnet’s longest side. For example, a 3″ magnet is three inches across its largest edge. This gives a consistent reference when choosing the right fit for your space.

The die-cut follows your artwork for a close-fitting border; slight variation is normal with very detailed silhouettes, but each piece is finished to look tidy and professional.
