EMPIRE OF THE ANTS 1977 Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet

Design Overview

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic design of the 1977 film "Empire of the Ants," a prime example of 1970s B-movie poster art. It's a visual representation of the sci-fi horror genre, immediately signaling a tale of giant mutant ants wreaking havoc.

Artwork and Composition

The artwork is a dramatic and intense composition. It typically features giant, menacing ants, instantly conveying the core threat of the film. The composition often depicts scenes of action, with ants attacking humans, symbolizing the struggle between humanity and nature's mutated form. The illustration style ranges, but often leans towards a dramatic, illustrated aesthetic common in B-movie posters of the era.

Symbolism and Meaning

The design's symbolism is clear: fear, survival, and the unknown dangers of scientific hubris. The monstrous ants symbolize both the power of nature and the potential consequences of unchecked scientific experimentation. The posters also portray a classic pulp style, using bold lettering and striking imagery to create a sense of urgency and danger, emphasizing themes of suspense and horror.

Visual Elements and Variations

While the core theme remains consistent, variations exist across different international posters. Some might highlight cityscapes or jungle settings being overtaken by the ants, while others utilize terrifying close-ups, focusing on the ants' menacing forms. These different approaches further amplify the fear factor and the overwhelming threat posed by the gigantic insects.

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.
