THE GATE (1987) Movie Poster - Sticker Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal: Design Description

This sticker design recreates the iconic artwork of The Gate (1987) movie poster, a visual embodiment of the film's chilling premise. The design captures the essence of a gateway to a demonic realm opening up in a seemingly ordinary suburban setting.

Artwork & Visual Elements

The central imagery focuses on the ominous opening, a portal or "gate," depicted as a hole from which disturbing hands or creatures emerge. This visually represents the film's core theme: the intrusion of supernatural evil into the everyday world. The design utilizes a dark color palette, accented with contrasting highlights, to create a sense of dread and unease. This reflects the typical horror style prevalent in movie posters of the 1980s.

Meaning & Symbolism

The "gate" itself serves as the primary symbol of the film, representing the passage between our world and a realm of demonic entities. The emergence of monstrous figures from this opening underscores the film's core fear: the invasion of darkness and evil into a protected, innocent space. The hand-painted or illustrated style evokes a sense of the uncanny, aligning with the dramatic lighting and stylized figures to heighten the sense of unease and terror, capturing the unsettling atmosphere of the original movie poster.

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.
