Not necessarily as dark or complex as tarot cards, the Classic Horror Oracle card deck is a great addition to any horror fan's collection
and The New York Times, and really outdid himself with these cards. What’s really special is how well he captures what makes each horror film so special. By recreating iconic imagery and merging it with his own style, he’s able to get the vibe of the movie instilled in a single piece. It’s quite an accomplishment, and you can tell that Diseño has a deep respect and admiration for horror and its history.
Included within the package is a 150-page guidebook, which was written by Steve Mockus and is just as important. Fully in color, the guidebook features the same artwork. It’s accompanied by descriptions of what movie each card is based on, and explains what each card signifies in terms of an oracle reading. Mockus does a great job of making the card’s theme match the movie .
This goes for the actual readings as well, such as picking the upright They Live card to mean, “Things are not as they seem. Question authority.” It’s quite fun going through all the cards, and I even got some horror movie recommendations from the list as I was familiar with most but not all of the subjects.
The guidebook also explains how to use the oracle cards and offers some configurations that you can arrange the cards in for readings. These range from the rather simple — doing a single card draw to answer a question — to the more advanced, such as doing a past, present, and future reading using three cards or putting them in a pentagram or a “harvest man” arrangement. There’s a good amount of variation in how you can use them, and it’s easy to learn, no matter your familiarity level .
