Scream 7 - Concept Key Art & Campaign Direction

This project explores a conceptual key art and marketing campaign direction for Scream 7, reimagined as a modern theatrical rollout while staying rooted in the franchise’s iconic horror DNA.

The goal was restraint over excess. One core image. One symbol. One feeling. Ghostface stripped back to its most unsettling form and treated as a cinematic icon rather than a character portrait. The campaign leans heavily into atmosphere, negative space, and tone, allowing fear to live in silence rather than spectacle.

From the primary one-sheet to large-scale outdoor placements and premium physical formats, this concept demonstrates how a legacy horror franchise can feel elevated, contemporary, and terrifying without losing its identity.
