Artwork & Visual Elements
The central image on the design likely showcases a stylized or realistic depiction of the titular "Bat People" creature. This monster is a combination of human and bat features, reflecting the plot's transformation theme. The creature's form is likely presented in a way that emphasizes its horrifying nature. The design might also incorporate a nocturnal environment, such as a darkened cityscape or a moonlit cave setting, emphasizing the "night" aspect of the title.
The title "IT LIVES BY NIGHT" is likely boldly displayed, possibly in a font style that reflects the era of the film, adding to its retro horror aesthetic. The words might be arranged to enhance the sense of dread, such as using a dripping blood-like font.
Meaning & Symbolism
The imagery of the half-man, half-bat monster is the key symbol. It represents the transformation of a human into something monstrous, the loss of identity, and the blurring of the lines between human and animal. The night setting further enhances the themes of fear, darkness, and the unknown, implying the creature's control during the hours of darkness. The overall design serves as a visual invitation to the movie's world, conveying its themes of horror, transformation, and the primal terrors of the night.
