MANIAC (1980) Movie Poster - Refrigerator Magnet: Design Description

A Chilling Slice of Horror

This refrigerator magnet showcases the iconic and utterly unsettling design of the original theatrical poster for the 1980 horror film, *Maniac*. The artwork is immediately arresting, designed to shock and terrify.

The Killer Revealed

The poster's most striking element is its depiction of the killer. The image boldly presents the lower half of the protagonist, wielding a bloody knife in one hand and, gruesomely, a severed blonde scalp in the other. Blood pools ominously near his feet, creating a visually impactful representation of the film's extreme violence.

Typography of Terror

The film's title, "MANIAC," is rendered in a deliberately rough, hand-painted typeface. This imperfect style, typically presented in either white or blood-red, contrasts starkly against a dark background, further amplifying the poster's unsettling impact. Some versions incorporate the chilling tagline, "I warned you not to go out tonight," adding to the sense of foreboding.

A Symbol of Controversy

The poster's design is not merely promotional; it is symbolic of the film's core themes. The graphic imagery was specifically chosen to convey the brutality of the story, serving as a warning of the horrors within. The poster's notoriety, born from its graphic nature, adds another layer of meaning: a testament to its controversial and enduring impact on the horror genre.

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.
