Tenebre Press
Virginia, United States
Tenebre Press produces notebooks and canvases with designs inspired by your favorite horror, thriller, and mystery films.
Other types of merchandise related to the horror, thriller, and mystery genres often make direct references to movies. For example, a design related to A Nightmare on Elm Street might depict a realistic glove with razors. In contrast, my approach creatively interprets various elements of these films, whether a particular scene, character, production design, sound design, editing, cinematography, theme, or another feature, This method promotes conversation and crafts classic, timeless patterns that can appear in diverse design and workplace spaces.
My love of horror started early when my cousin snuck me into a midnight showing of A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy's Revenge. Of course, this was unbeknownst to my parents, as I was six years old! Nonetheless, I had the best time, and it's still one of my favorite horror movies to rewatch every Halloween. I'm now an English professor at a university in Virginia, where I teach and write about all things horror, thriller, mystery, and gothic. In an effort to do something different from my job, I have begun this shop. I look forward to producing new concepts that you will enjoy as much as I do!
The name Tenebre Press refers to two ideas. First, it's the title of one of my favorite films from my favorite horror film director Dario Argento. Second, it's Italian for darkness, which seems appropriate for the contents of my shop!
Tenebre Press also offers stationery!
