How do you create the absolute best collection of horror fonts anywhere?
Create tons of them, and then have a community of horror fanatics vote on them. That's exactly what our friends at Remedy667 did!
In October of 2024, Nick Polifroni designed a new font each day and posted it to Instagram. Then, followers were asked to vote by liking only their favorite fonts. The result is The Typefaces of Terror Collection—a batch of five retro-inspired horror fonts that are proven winners.
Here's a little about each font...
Castle of the Dead
A campy, medieval-inspired horror font that captures the spirit of spooky castles, cursed knights, and cobweb-filled dungeons. Perfect for projects that need a gothic touch with a playful, lighthearted edge.
Demonika
Remedy667 is based out of Maine, making this striking tribute to late 20th century horror novels like Carrie all the more authentic. With its oozing, ominous design, it's ideal for channeling the eerie nostalgia of classic paperback covers.
Haunted Vision
Looking for something with more of a mid-century flair? Haunted Vision is a geometric horror font inspired by manual lettering work done with an X-acto knife and a love of mid-century style.
Haunted Screams
Looking to emulate the iconic slasher films of the 80s and 90s? Haunted Screams is inspired by the low-budget season horror films of the era that inspired predecessors like Scream.
Spider Queen
Inspired by the creepy-crawly creature features of the 1950s and the garish horror comics of the mid-century, Spider Queen oozed with retro spookiness. Perfect for projects that call for a sticky, spine-chilling vibe with a dash of campy fun.
