Bordonaro Vampire (Photo-Lettering, by 1971) is the godfather of all drippy horror typefaces. Lewell Bordonaro’s design can here be seen in use on the jacket of The Magic Power of Witchcraft. First published in 1976 in largely identical design, the images show a 1982 printing. The book was written by Gavin & Yvonne Frost, founders of the Church and School of Wicca.

The spine lettering taps into another trope of eerie typography. The blackletter used here is Goudy Text.
