Preparation - possible font types for 'The Hunted'

As i think planning is a very important aspect i have decided to look for several different font types for 'THE HUNTED' the title of the horror film. As i want to be using a font which will be unique as it will be representing the horror genre, i have decided to use the website http://www.dafont.com/ as it has thousands of useful and usable fonts which i may come to use.

Examples which i may use:
This is a font i may possibly use for my final piece, when first looking at the font better known as 'Blood Crow' it almost looks like it is crooked perhaps to represent the genre in which is associated with.


This font immediately establishes the genre 'horror', it appears to have blood dripping from the letters which i think adds a spooky and mysterious element which would work very well with the synopsis of my film trailer. I think this font would work very well with the plot/storyline of my trailer and would create an ambigous element for my film front cover magazine and perhaps my film poster.


This font is known as 'Kreepy Krawly' as it displays a creepy element, the letters start off as fairly large however thins out at the bottom of the letter creating a tangled overlapping effect possibly representing the genre.



This font could be viewed as slightly gory as it looks like the lettering has been splattered over the page, and could therefore suggest possible sequences of events occuring in the film.


When first looking at this font known as 'A Lolita Scorned' it reminded me of old stereotypical horror, however as there is droplets of blood featured above and below the letters this possibly could represent possible scenes or killings involved in the film.


As this font is very thin compared to the other fonts in which i have analysed, it could be seen as a subtle element and perhaps create a sense of ambigousity as it is not revealing or giving away too much.
