The research methodology used was qualitative description, with Indonesian horror films from the years 2022-2023 serving as the data source. To comprehend the meanings encapsulated within the latest Indonesian horror film posters, Charles Sanders Peirce's paradigm on signs was adopted as a reference to understand the research material – the Indonesian horror film posters from 2022-2023.
