Director-writers Anna Halberg and Spenser Cohen additionally aimed to terrify one another after they began engaged on Tarot. “That’s once we know that one thing is working,” Halberg says. “If we go like, ‘Oh gosh, that’s horrifying!!’ Then we’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s try this!’”
Their imaginative and prescient of the terrifying monsters residing throughout the tarot playing cards was made into actuality by two gifted artists. Trevor Henderson, a gifted horror illustrator well-known for creating creatures reminiscent of Siren Head and extra, was tasked with doing the idea artwork for the monsters of Tarot. “We’re large followers of Trevor Henderson, who’s a tremendous artist that we comply with on Instagram; we reached out to him and requested him to be the only designer of all of the creatures within the movie,” says Cohen. “Once we had the idea to deliver the tarot playing cards to life, we knew we would have liked to deliver these iconic playing cards—The Magician, The Satan, Loss of life—to life in a approach that may be the stuff of nightmares and in a approach that nobody had ever seen earlier than.”
Henderson, whereas engaged on Tarot, felt that the recipe for making actually terrifying monsters is to inject a little bit of actuality into the design. “I at all times really feel that for one thing to be scary, it has to really feel like a tangible a part of our world,” he says. “Fortunately, everybody was dedicated to working with actual creature actors and sensible results, which actually aided the method. I positively tried to maintain the creatures extra grounded than a fantasy method.”
To deliver Henderson’s creations collectively in a tarot deck, graphic designer Richard Wells was approached. “The good Trevor Henderson had already designed the monsters after I got here on board,” says Wells. “My activity was to retain the essence of his designs, however configure them right into a kind that may work for the tarot playing cards. In some circumstances, just like the Hermit, that meant illustrating a setting for the character, rising from a tunnel holding his lantern. In different circumstances, I gave some additional drama—just like the Loss of life card, having it stand in a panorama of skulls.”
Setting the scene was equally particular, and the workforce selected to movie in Serbia, as they’ve entry to areas that have been excellent for Tarot. “[Serbia] allowed us to movie in unbelievable areas that we most likely wouldn’t have entry to wherever else,” says Cohen. “We closed down a bridge that appears prefer it ought to have been in a Mission: Unimaginable film—that’s how massive it’s; it connects two elements of the nation. We have been in a position to shut it down for 2 nights to shoot an unbelievable sequence on it. It was Serbia’s pleasure at having us there that afforded us the flexibility to do this.”
