Deciding on the best suitable font

When deciding on a font for the opening of our thriller, we decided that a medieval style font would fit the old, abandoned house well, whilst also giving a creepy feel to it.
The first font we decided on was Celtic Garamond the 2nd

After a discussion with our peers, we all felt that the text had too much of a religious look to it, and therefore decided to watch the opening to some other thrillers, and take inspiration from them.
Using films such as ‘Cape Fear’ to get ideas from, we came across a spooky, horror themed font named Face your fears.
We all thought this font looked fantastic. However, when put into our thriller, it didn’t seem right and looked as if it was from a child’s halloween party.
Again, we went searching for a medieval styled font that we could all agree and and finally found Infiltrace. It fit our thriller brilliantly and had all the conventions that we felt a thriller title sequence font should have.
