The best horror t-shirts for your Halloween
From old school to new-aged thrillers, Out of Print carries the best horror t-shirts. We offer vintage horror t-shirts, funny horror t-shirts, and everything in between. This October, Out of Print is also releasing a new line of horror t-shirts, inspired by Penguin Horror's new deluxe hardcovers which were curated by filmmaker and lifelong horror reader Guillermo del Toro.
Between all these options, we know you'll find the perfect fit for your Halloween festivities.
1. The Haunting of Hill House t-shirts
The Haunting of Hill House is a classic ghost story, but since Jackson's book was first published in 1959 it’s been made into two movies, not to mention a Netflix series.
Slip on one of our t-shirts before heading to any haunted mansions among the hills. Available as a unisex tee and women’s relaxed fit style in our newest Penguin Horror design, this novel’s chilling cover art will turn heads.
2. Frankenstein shirts
Arguably the most iconic monster in movie history, Frankenstein's monster based on Mary Shelley's groundbreaking work is a Halloween favorite for readers of all ages.
Our classic unisex t-shirt is 100% cotton and available in sizes XS-XXL. Looking for the perfect gift for your Halloween host? It’s available in three different styles: unisex, women’s scoop neck, and women’s relaxed fit.
Our newest Frankenstein shirt invites you to lose yourself in the monster's chilling stare. It's available in both unisex and women's relaxed fit.
3. Dracula t-shirt
Bram Stoker made vampires iconic long before Twilight. Sink your teeth into this truly classic Dracula t-shirt.
Choose between a unisex t-shirt, women’s crew t-shirt, and women’s relaxed fit t-shirt. Halloween just wouldn’t be the same without a tribute to the most famous vampire in history.
4. Bunnicula shirt
You can forget the garlic trick when it comes to Bunnicula. This vampiric rabbit sucks the juice out of vegetables, but is it just the beginning? As this t-shirt says, “Today vegetables, tomorrow the world!”
Be sure to check out our entire line of great Bunnicula products, including tote bags and pouches.
5. Pop Poe shirt
Edgar Allan Poe is one of the most celebrated authors of gothic horror stories.
Enjoy a pop of color in our Pop Poe unisex t-shirt or set your cold drink down on our Pop Poe coaster set.
6. "The Raven" shirts
“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary…”
Nevermore will you be without a piece of apparel that shows your affinity for Edgar Allan Poe's most classic poem.
Our vintage cover illustration is set on a heather gray shirt that ranges in size and various styles. Shop our newest design from Penguin Horror in women's relaxed fit and unisex styles.
7. Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos tee
Don’t tempt the unknown when you’re wearing this Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos t-shirt.
The 100% cotton fitted tee pays tribute to the master of celestial horror, H.P. Lovecraft. With a distressed, softened print, the sinister faces that were featured on the original hardcover from 1969 will be a Halloween party favorite.
8. "The Raven" (French Edition) shirt
From the 1875 French edition of “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe, this tee feels sophisticated, yet captures the eerie and unsettling feeling of Poe's work.
Show off your distinct style in this tribute to one of Poe’s greatest literary works. It's available in a simple unisex style, as well as a women’s relaxed fit t-shirt and women’s crew t-shirt.
Penguin Horror's curated horror collection wouldn't be complete without updated art for H.P. Lovecraft's seminal short stories.
Our new shirt features the cover for The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories. Like Lovecraft's work, the art is otherworldly and a sure conversation starter.
10. The Spider and the Fly shirts
This creepy poem tells the story of a spider who entraps a fly through charm and flattery. It serves as a cautionary tale, stating “dear little children, who may this story read, To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne’er give heed…”
Surprise your little ghost or goblin this Halloween with kids’ sizes ranging from 2T to 6T. Looking for yourself? Choose between a unisex t-shirt or women’s v-neck.
11. A Clockwork Orange shirt
The novel turned movie left a lingering, unsettling mark on the literary world. If your love for this classic runs deep, the unisex t-shirt won’t be enough.
Check our socks and tote bag dedicated to Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange.
12. We Have Always Lived in the Castle book cover t-shirt
This haunting mystery novel was Shirley Jackson’s final work. The story follows the bizarre world of the Blackwood sisters who are orphaned after their parents are poisoned.
While a movie version of this thriller hit theaters last year, our tee features the classic book cover from 1962. Available as a unisex t-shirt or women’s v-neck.
13. Choose Your Own Adventure: War with the Evil Power Master tee
You’re the master of your own destiny in the Choose Your Own Adventure books. "If you join the Evil Power Master, hoping it will gain you time, turn to page 36. If you refuse, turn to page 91."
