You could try something like Univers Ultra Condensed

just quietly, i quite liked your myriad condensed versions....

Or URW Bee.

Nice posters! I recommend using extra space rather than bullets as separators.

They sure look great already. Very nice.
As for ’film credit type’, you may also like ’Ohrada’, by František Štorm.

appreciate the help.

bee is a fantastic font isn’t it? never seen it before

maybe Titling Gothic Skyline would work…

I really like the bird poster.

But a quick suggestion: try playing around with the layout of the birds that make up “HORROR” so they seem a little more random. (i.e. so the birds that make up the R’s aren’t in the same positions in both letters.)
