Shirt.Woot

So first is the good: I love the idea.

However: I would have bought this if it had BUNNICULA. And I don't really care for the VAMPIRES! at the top.. I think the shirt is self-explanatory; the text makes me think of a poster more than a shirt. Re-make it, put the bunny on it, remove the gaudy title and I will gets. Perhaps pick something other than red, also! :D

PS: Making Edward hold Bunnicula would be a good idea!

But Bill is more iconic, and more recognizable for less-than-ardent fans.

Let's use the original Jerry as the new 'Colin Farrell Jerry' sucked majorly!

Hmmm. Seems to me that Angel would not have been easy to render recognizably in the unshaded black-and-white in which this design has been done. Also, Spike had more seasons than Angel. Also, Angel was a first-class poofter.

And don't you think that (mod: let's not get off track here and get personal)?

How does a pop culture vampire shirt not include Angel? Spike made it but not Angel?

It's like doing a pop culture steroid t-shirt and not including Jose Canseco.

For your viewing pleasure

I don't know what's worse; the fact that Blackula was left out, or what his caption would have been.

Angel had his own TV series, but... yeah, he always ends up being a fruit cake.

Dascalargo wrote:Regarding the Angel vs Spike debate, the issue isn't who is the better-known or more favored vampire, but which of them is more easily identified. Spike's white hair makes him the better design choice, hands down.

Angel would have been easy to render - long trench coat, hands in pockets, brooding look. Actually but for the blond (white) hair, the image of Spike on the shirt could easily have been Angel.

Also, there's no question that Angel is much more well known. So much so that he warranted his own spin-off.

Personally, I would have included both; however I would have ordered a shirt with just Angel. Can't bring myself to purchase one without Angel, who the designer made a conscious decision to exclude. It's a shame really, but then again it's just a shirt. No sweat or shirt off my back. Otherwise, nice work. Just missed the mark by enough to nix a purchase.

Perfect timing. Donating blood for the first time this coming Friday. Had to splurge for the overnight shipping.

Blacula's caption, hmmmmm. Maybe "Dracula's Soul Brother" or "The Blaxploited One"? But regardless, with no shades of grey to work with, his skin tone would have to have been rendered in either black or white, and neither would likely look right.

They had a that TV miniseries remake. I don't remember it being that bad though... but maybe it was lol.

I would buy this if everyone image was Count Duckula

Ah a classic... cracks me up every time.

I really like this shirt, and if it had Alucard or Vampire Hunter D on it, I totally would. But one thing I absolutely can't overlook is a grammatical error--the use of "slayed" as someone pointed out. It makes me sad because I'm really into vampires.

No ANGEL.. Really?

Don't you think the big guy earned it, even next to SPIKE?

couldn't agree more

Awesome design! Congrats Ben!

would totally buy one if Bunnicula had made the cut!!!

Also, there are no comments about George Hamilton's Dracula in Love at First Bite (unless you wanted to use Bela Legosi's "classic" as a stand in) nor Lauren Hutton's Countess in Once Bitten. It would have also been cool to see either the young or old Dracula that Gary Oldman played in Dracula (1992).

I guess there are just too many memorable vamps to fit onto one shirt.

(From top to bottom, left to right):

Count Chocula

Spike
Count von Count

Blade
Edward Cullen

Actually the one you said is dracula is Lestat from interview with a vampire, the classic is dracula.

I doubt a WXL would fit as I have read numerous complaints about how they are so small they would barely fit a pre-teen. I was thinking Mens Large, but I fear the men's shirts might be really long.

You probably already bought it, but I would always go with Men's over Women's if you are unsure what size to get. The Men's sizes are almost exactly a half size smaller than 'normal' men's shirts. If they're between sizes this is perfect; get the larger of the two. Otherwise, get a size larger than their usual for guys. For girls, I would actually get the same size they wear in normal t-shirts with two exceptions: 1) they already wear t-shirts in a size that looks 'fitted', 2) they hate fitted shirts.

Why is the halfbreed off center?

No Diamondback? (Near Dark)

Werewolf hunter is Selene from Underworld.

I was about to say that Spike should be called The One With A Soul, afterall he is the one who shanshus (sp?). Angel is just a whiny, broody butthead.

I'd be all for it if not for the Twilight reference.

It IS a tad played out at this point... and Blade killing Edward has been around since the first movie (as well as Buffy killing Edward.)

Let the right 12 in!

Sweet poster, but not cool as a tee.

HAHAHA! I seriously Laughed Out Loud when I read the whole David Boreanaz fan club thing. That was just awesome!

But I do love Spike... So it's all good.

And what is listed here as 'Generic Vampire' is Bela Lugosi as Dracula from the 1931 'Dracula'.

Otherwise, you got them all.

I haven't read all the comments, but I'm sure by now someone has corrected the error of Lestat who was Tom Cruise, not Brad Pitt (who was Louis)...and if not, then my work is done.

I won't buy it because there's no Count Duckula.

Yet again, shirt.woot! the screensaver!

Come on, we can have water bottles, duffles, hoodies, shirts, how about a screen saver?

I know, some of you do it yourselves, but why go through the effort when I can whine at Woot to do it so that I can pay them for it?

I love this design, but would I wear it? Probably not, so I'll save my ten dollars and just whine.

'Night!

Mostly agreed. Though I enjoy Spike. Much more so than Angel. Though I did look for him several times before I gave up. He would have completed this shirt.

That's not Michael Emerson from the Lost Boys .. it's David played by Keifer Sutherland from the Lost Boys.

Count Chocula

Lestat de Lioncourt
Selene
Bela Lugosi
Spike
Count von Count

that was seline from underworld

Spike > Angel.

Spike went and fought for his soul. Angel was cursed with his and whined about it all the time.

Also, Bunnicula is awesome.

Wait where is Barnabas Collins?
