Part of why I picked the title Last Resort for my Pixelween fake horror franchise is that Last Resort is an inherently funny title to append a number to. You know, kind of like how we've had dozens of final fantasy games, except for a fictional trashy film series instead of a (mostly) respected video game franchise. So I was a little bummed when I saw the second week had to be "Attack of the X". Luckily, there was leeway for titles which don't cleanly fit that pattern, which gave me all the excuse I needed to demote "Attack of the Oracle" to a subtitle.

Who is this oracle? Why, the same girl from the first movie's poster. In that movie, she was just a bullied teenaged girl using black magic to take revenge on those who had wronged her, before presumably being defeated. Now she's back, a full-fledged priestess (or oracle) of a dark god, ready for a second round of vengeance on those who have wronged her.

This is a bit like the first poster, except the Oracle is no longer trapped by the circle or helplessly slouched, the supernatural aspects more active, and the composition not bleakly empty. Also, I added smaller text—credits for fictional actors like Lily Sabah, and a bit of illegibly small text crammed in the corner. A lot of other entries had that, and it makes the posters look a lot more poster-like.

Part of the reason I made the Oracle dominate the composition more—aside from the fact that she needs to be somehow attacking, since I couldn't think of a snappy way to say "Attack of last movie's villain's evil patron"—is that the canvas size stayed the same as last week. I was expected the canvas to escalate each week, giving me an opportunity to go over recognizable elements from earlier posters in more detail, but no dice.

So I had to make her bigger, make her take up more of the frame. This makes her seem less like a victim, like a supernatural horror twist applied to something realistic, and more like a movie monster, a true villain, which feels very horror-sequel to me.
