“Evil is a source of moral intelligence in the sense that we need to learn from our shadow, from our dark side, in order to be good.” ~ John Bradshaw

The Halloween season is such a special time of year, in that we get to indulge our dark side.

One of my favorite ways to indulge is with a good horror film.

Horror movies give us a way to face our fears without really leaving our comfort zone.

We can explore the darker side of our imaginations, without feeling like we’ve denounced the light.

And ultimately, darkness and light cannot exist without each other. They are complimentary.

So why not indulge your inner shadow-self a bit?

I came across these images today and thought they were so cool!

Each of these “Minimalist Horror Movie Posters” are inspired by a horror film, and each poster features a couple of representative items from the film.

Do you recognize any of your favorites?
