When I was growing up in a small prairie town as a little kid, one of my favourite things to do was to bicycle to the movie theatre and check out the movie posters on the front of the building.  I would analyze every corner and detail of the poster. Horror and Science Fiction movie posters were some of my favourites. 

The posters would make you imagine what the movie was about and what the visuals would instill in your head.  The posters would create the curiosity that would motivate you to see the film or not.

Below are some of the more engaging posters.
