You should probably use images within your carousel that fit and yet leave the text readable beneath

Yea know what you mean. I like the image for mist and the werewolves, not so sure about the others.

What about trying to center them not so unlike I did with the werewolves?
Obviously I can't make them all fit exactly due to proportions but I could make them more uniform like that.

Point duely taken. Thanks mate.

Don't be afraid to crop - as it has text and title, you don't need a full cover, consider it a teaser?

Ok I think I fixed the problem. I centered them all inside of the slide show and I made a template file in photoshop so in the future I can easily make new pictures in the same manner. Again thanks for the help mate!
