Tenebre Press

Tenebre Press Abstract Designs by a Long-Time Horror Film Fan For example, a design related to A Nightmare on Elm Street might depict a realistic glove with razors.

I am an English professor with a basement full of arcade and board games, five cats, and three bookshelves full of horror movies from all periods, countries, and genres. Other types of merchandise related to the horror, thriller, and mystery genres often make direct references to movies. In contrast, my approach creatively interprets various elements of these films, whether a particular scene, cha

racter, production design, sound design, editing, cinematography, theme, or another feature, This method promotes conversation and crafts classic, timeless patterns that can appear in diverse design and workplace spaces. My love of horror started early when my cousin snuck me into a midnight showing of A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge. Of course, this was unbeknownst to my parents, as I was six years old! Nonetheless, I had the best time, and it's still one of my favorite horror movies to rewatch every Halloween. I'm now an English professor at a university in Virginia, where I teach and write about all things horror, thriller, mystery, and gothic. In an effort to do something different from my job, I have begun this shop. I look forward to producing new concepts that you will enjoy as much as I do! The name Tenebre Press refers to two ideas. First, it's the title of one of my favorite films from my favorite horror film director Dario Argento. Second, it's Italian for darkness, which seems appropriate for the contents of my shop!

Even Helena Markos would love this sticker inspired by the stained glass and use of lighting in Dario Argento's 1977 film Suspiria. The sticker comes in a 2 x 2 square shape, is water and scratch-resistant, and is coated with a protective laminate. As a result, it looks great come sun, rain, or snow and are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. And remember: Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds.

This is one in a series of stickers, journals, and canvases whose designs are inspired by some of your favorite horror, thriller, or mystery films.

Many designs are inspired by things such as cinematography and editing, both which are important in the success of horror, thriller, and mystery films.

With a design inspired by the famous shot of blood swirling down the shower drain in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film Psycho, this cotton and polyester canvas composite has a special proprietary coating and comes in an array of sizes, so you can always find the perfect fit for your home or office. Each matte canvas comes with hanging hardware already included for convenient placement as well as soft rubber dots on the bottom back corners for support. The frame is made with profile radial pine that is ethically sourced from renewable forests.

This canvas will remind you that a boy's best friend is his mother!
