THE INITIATION (1984) Movie Poster - Sticker Decal Design

This sticker decal showcases the chilling artwork of the original theatrical poster for the 1984 slasher film, The Initiation. The design masterfully captures the essence of the era's horror marketing, employing stark contrasts and symbolic imagery to evoke fear and suspense.

A Visceral Depiction of Terror

The central image presents a dramatic, horror-themed illustration. A menacing hand, rendered in graphic detail, clutches a pink-draped figure. This abstract shape, reminiscent of a candle or a sorority pledge, instantly communicates the film's core themes. The hand's powerful grip suggests the brutality and danger that lie at the heart of the story, characteristic of the slasher genre.

Typography of Fear

Above the graphic, the film's title, "THE INITIATION," is prominently displayed in bold, stylized yellow typography. This bold font choice commands attention against a dark background, ensuring the title immediately draws the viewer in. A tagline, such as "Stay young… and die young," or "...the night new blood is pledged,” might accompany the title, heightening the sense of dread and foreshadowing the film's terrifying premise.

A Snapshot of 80s Horror

The overall design reflects the hallmarks of 1980s horror marketing: simplicity combined with striking visuals. The juxtaposition of the dark background and the bright yellow text creates a stark visual contrast, drawing the eye and amplifying the sense of unease. This sticker decal design is a chilling representation of the film, ready to intrigue anyone who glances at it.

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.
