HORROR OF DRACULA (BELGIAN) 1958 Movie Poster - Design Overview

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic design of the Belgian theatrical poster for Hammer Films' 1958 Horror of Dracula. The artwork is a potent encapsulation of the film's groundbreaking shift in horror sensibilities.

Dramatic Illustration

The poster is dominated by a hand-painted illustration, characteristic of Belgian poster art from the late 1950s. The artist masterfully employs intense color contrasts, immediately drawing the eye. Deep reds, evocative of blood and impending doom, clash with stark blacks and unsettling sickly greens, creating a palpable sense of unease.

Dracula's Menace

The central figure is, of course, Dracula himself. He is depicted in a menacing pose, often with bared fangs, a flowing cape that suggests both power and predatory intent, and an overall predatory posture. This visual language represents Dracula's newfound visceral menace, a stark contrast to earlier, more restrained portrayals.

Gothic Elements and Symbols

The artwork incorporates gothic elements, such as crumbling castles or flickering candlelight, further amplifying the horror. Blood symbolism, though often implied rather than explicitly shown, hints at the film's graphic approach to horror, conveying the terror and violence at the heart of the story. The composition often includes a distressed female figure, highlighting the vulnerability of the victims and the predatory nature of Dracula.

Shock and Sensuality

The design’s primary goal is to shock and terrify the viewer. Through the exaggerated imagery and vibrant color palette, the poster captures the shift from elegant mystery to visceral, blood-driven menace. This visual language represents a departure from traditional horror conventions, embracing a more graphic and sensual depiction of fear.

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.
