DR. HACKENSTEIN (1988) Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet: Design Description

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic design of the 1988 cult classic, Dr. Hackenstein, capturing the essence of Troma Entertainment's campy horror aesthetic. The artwork bursts with the energy of a low-budget, yet undeniably memorable, cinematic experience.

A Title as Bold as the Horror

Dominating the top, the title "Dr. Hackenstein" is emblazoned in a stylized, appropriately spooky font. This immediately establishes the film's identity and sets the tone for the visual experience: a blend of horror and dark comedy.

The Mad Scientist's Workshop

The central imagery focuses on the titular Dr. Hackenstein himself. The mad scientist is depicted in his cluttered laboratory, the heart of his "mad science" endeavors. He's holding a large flask filled with brightly colored, bubbling liquids, a visual shorthand for the film's central themes of macabre experimentation and the reanimation of the dead. These vibrant colors are key to the design, emphasizing the film's comedic horror elements.

Whispers of Horror

Behind the doctor, a distressed woman's face peeks through, either as a smaller inset or a faded background element. This subtle detail hints at the film's body-part-assembling storyline, offering a glimpse of the "horror" side of the horror-comedy equation.

The Campy Energy

The overall aesthetic embodies a classic B-movie horror poster with an abundance of campy energy. The lighting, dramatic and theatrical, adds depth and emphasizes the key elements. This visual style communicates the unique charm of the film, attracting fans of the genre and representing the film's cult status.

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.
