SCANNERS (TEASER) 1981 Movie Poster - Vinyl Decal Design

This striking decal design evokes the chilling minimalist aesthetic of the original 1981 Scanners teaser poster, a cornerstone of horror marketing.

A Cryptic Introduction

The design centers around a stark, almost text-only approach. Typically, a cryptic tagline, such as "There are 4 billion people on earth. 237 are Scanners," is the primary visual element. This phrase introduces the film's premise of psychic individuals without revealing any specific plot points or characters.

Darkness and Implied Violence

The artwork, often set against a deep black background, is intentionally minimal. Some variations may incorporate a silhouetted or obscured human figure, hinting at the psychic violence that defines the film. This subtlety is crucial, building anticipation without relying on explicit gore or graphic imagery.

A Stark and Unsettling Title

The film's title, SCANNERS, is rendered in a bold, block font. The stark lettering, usually presented in white or gray against the black backdrop, contributes to the unsettling atmosphere. This design choice instantly conveys a sense of coldness and technological undertones, immediately establishing the film’s distinctive feel.

Mystery as a Design Principle

The entire design eschews typical promotional elements. No cast list appears, and there are no scenes from the film. The absence of the iconic “exploding head” imagery, which is used in later marketing materials, further enhances the aura of mystery. The goal is to create intrigue and establish David Cronenberg's reputation for cerebral horror without giving away too much, enticing viewers to learn more.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
