Spider-Man usually does everything he can to appear friendly and kind – but this dark view of his Poison the shape changes how any fan would view the character. The last thing Peter wants is for anyone to be afraid of him, but a fan-made movie poster puts an incredible horror twist on one of the darkest periods in Spider-Man history, and the best part is that it works perfectly with the subject. material.
This fantastic fan art by the Instagram artist @bosslogic is actually a horror movie poster simulation based on The Last Exorcism Part II and it's even scarier than the original. While the original film is about an innocent girl being taken over by a demon, the artist re-contextualizes the poster using Spider-Man and his iconic black suit, a brilliant twist that really plays with the horror of Spider-Man's Venom form.
The original Black Suit arc never shied away from how scary the suit could be, but it didn't really delve into any real horror elements. The story presented the process as a bad thing and thought it eventually led to Venom's popularity, the real terror of having an alien attached to someone's body and having them change their personality wasn't explored as deeply as it could have been. in the original arc. Later stories definitely delved more into the horror of Spider-Man's black suit.
Spider-Man's black suit is a terrifying part of his story
The Origins of Fan-Favorite Venom
The Black Suit is a symbiotic alien from outer space. When you have a relationship with someone, you can become possessive and refuse to let go of them. Spider-Man's entire personality was being altered by the suit. He was becoming much more aggressive and much more willing to use violence. Fortunately, Peter accidentally discovered the suit's weakness and was able to get rid of it. But future stories showed what would have happened if he hadn't done it. In one universe, the symbiote ends up draining Peter, leaving him nothing more than a lifeless skeleton after leaving him.
In Spider-Man: Spider Shadow by Chip Zdarsky, Pasqual Ferry, Matt Hollingsworth and Joe Caramagna, the process convinces Peter to go on a killing spree. It's easy to see the parallels with demonic possession, and if Peter hadn't discovered the symbiote's weakness to sound, It's very possible that Spider-Man needed an exorcism in order to escape the Venom symbiote. Although Peter has been transformed into a zombie and a giant Spider-Man in the past, the Black Suit remains one of the scariest forms he has ever taken because it almost robbed him of who he was.

Hopefully when Marvel decides to revisit the Black Suit era in future comics, they remember to keep that fantastic horror element. While Spider-Man has always had a lighter red and blue costume and a friendly attitude to go with it, this only makes the horrific juxtaposition of his Black Suit era that much better. There is so much Spider-Man fan art and cosplay, but some of the best always focus on how, sometimes, Spider-Man can be a little scary – especially in its black Poison suit.
