How to Draw Horror Movie Lettering (3 Styles)

Old horror movie posters and comic covers have some of the coolest lettering. In this video I draw spooky lettering inspired by a vintage horror comic title, Mothra (with flames, on the word "STUPID," which was a mistake), and a classic Dracula title treatment with that jagged inset color.

I'm drawing in Adobe Fresco, but everything here works in Procreate, Photoshop, or whatever you draw in. The real skill is learning to look at reference lettering, figure out what makes it work, and make your own version instead of copying it.

What's covered:
• Building guides from reference lettering
• Using a font as a starting skeleton (sorry, type nerds)
• Keeping letters loose and wobbly so they feel haunted, not tidy
• Adding flames, drop shadows, and inset color
• Grainy texture with Riso brushes
