I like #1 and #4 They could both work really well. In my opinion. I don't think that you should include the deer god in the design. here is why: You don't see the deer god until about half way or a quarter of the way into the film, and even then you only see his silhouette. That left a lot to the imagination which I thought was quite nice. Having him appear on the cover (especially as the nightwalker) I feel reveals too much about film. I remember from when I watched it (couple of days ago) when they spoke about the deer god for the first time, I got little excited because I didn't know what he looked like.
You could try hinting the deer god like in #3 and #6 but I think too much detail could spoil the fun.
I would recommend taking #1 #3 and #3 farther.
Hope that helps you :)
