THE 'BURBS 1989 Movie Poster - STICKER Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

Design Overview

This decal features the iconic artwork from the 1989 dark comedy film, The 'Burbs. The design immediately captures the film's essence of suburban paranoia and comedic mystery.

Central Composition

The focal point is the character of Ray Peterson, portrayed by Tom Hanks, positioned front and center. His slightly bewildered and tense expression reflects the film's exploration of suburban anxieties and the growing suspicion within the community.

Background & Atmosphere

Behind Peterson, the artwork typically showcases a suburban backdrop. This might include glimpses of houses, manicured lawns, or a cloudy, potentially stormy sky. This backdrop symbolizes the seemingly idyllic setting of suburbia, juxtaposed with the underlying tension and mystery that drive the film's plot.

Typography & Tagline

The movie title, "The 'Burbs," is prominently displayed, often in a stylized font that adds to the overall aesthetic. Accompanying the title, the poster might incorporate a tagline, such as “He’s a man of peace in a savage land… Suburbia." This tongue-in-cheek statement encapsulates the film's satirical tone and the contrast between the perceived tranquility of suburbia and the escalating drama within.

Overall Meaning

The design, as a whole, embodies the core themes of The 'Burbs. It represents the film's exploration of paranoia, community, and the often-hidden strangeness that can exist beneath the surface of everyday life in the suburbs.

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.
