That’s a pretty fascinating set up they’ve got there. Man, seeing that finished product come off the line got me super excited! I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Great overall series. It’s definitely cool to see how you make the shirts. Keep up the great work!
Hey guys, great series! Seeing how much hardwork and dedication you guys put into your shirts really makes the appreciation factor skyrocket. I’ve been supporting Fright-Rags for a while now and hands down, you guys are the best horror shirt makers in the business. Keep it up!
Kick-ass horror shirts is right!!
Dig that theme music too..
Ben Rules!
Interesting to see how everything falls in place from beginning to end. Definitely keep up the videos and posts!
Wow Ben, I have to say that was fantastic. I love that you allowed us to see the whole process. So awesome, to me that was just amazing.
Ben,
I thought that the “how-to” presentation was a really awesome idea. I have always thought your ideas for shirts were really creative and cool. I mean,,where else would you see a shirt for “Tourist Trap” (which i own and several others ) ?? Just by looking at them you can tell the work that goes into them but this series gives a new appreciation for them. Plus you can tell with the shows you guys are fans and into horror. I think the designs and likeness’ are dead-on but to comment on one persons remarks that they didn’t look close I dont think they understand that they are a talented artist’s rendition and will have some creative freedom. And that is what makes some of them really stand out against other shirts! Watch “Slither” will ya? Take care, see you at MM!!! paul
Great information Ben! Gives us an insight as to what goes into these fantastic shirts. Keep up the good work…
Ben - what a great concept and what great execution. Your behind-the scenes glimpse at the process was so enlightening and gives us a greater appreciation for all the creativity, hard work and dedication that goes into producing these unique and beautifully crafted shirts. It’s very rare to experience a “relationship” with a product, or for a manufacturer to care enough about the customer to expand the interaction from just “buyer” and “seller” to collaborator. We love being included! This is what makes Fright Rags so unique. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more series such as this.
Thank you so much for sending me the link to this really great series and the blog. I have always wanted to learn how the photos from some of my favorite horror movies go from poster to t-shirt, so well. I have been a horror movie lover for many, many years and have looked for quality horror movie shirts for as many years, to no avail. When I found Fright Rags I couldn’t believe how lucky I got. You have immortalized some of the greatest cult classics, and many of my personal favorites, on shirts and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Keep up the great work!! I will always come back to Fright Rags for all my horror shirts because you can’t find them ANYWHERE else, believe me I have looked!!
Hey Ben,
I totally loved being able to watch how the shirts were made. I never imagined the pinwheel process to the paint application. I also never thought about how they can add the different colors without letting the first ones dry. But, that is what those lights are doing, right? So, the paint must dry pretty quickly under those lights? Or at least enough so that it doesn’t get messed up when the next color is applied? Then, that last run through the heat finishes them off? I guess it would certainly be pretty inconvenient if it was necessary to lay them all flat for several hours to dry! So cool!
I honestly just want to say I think this is one of the best horror movie clothing ideas ever, it’s so awesome that it’s done by horror movie buffs, what better way to satisfy a customer than to be one yourself right?
Thank you for doing this man, I shall wear my zombie vs shark shirt with pride
I have to say,watching the shirts being made was great.i can see the work that goes into them.Can’t wait to see one up close.The hardest is to know which one to try first.
