Spooky Threads: Halloween Tees, Horror Icons & New Designs from Cover Up Tops
When October rolls around, everything seems to whisper “boo” — from pumpkin spice lattes to shadowy street corners. For us at Cover Up Tops, it also means it’s tee-time: Halloween designs, horror-inspired graphics, and wearable chills that treat you with style.
Here’s what’s happening in our world of creepy-cool cotton, plus fun horror shirt lore, upcoming shows and films, and a dose of science & space spookiness to round it off.
Famous T-Shirts in Horror & Halloween Films:
Some T-shirts are just tees. Others become horror legends.
Freddy Krueger’s glove & razor motif — the Nightmare on Elm Street designs featuring his iconic glove or screamed face are staples of horror merch.

Ghostface / Scream — the mask is the face, but T-shirts featuring Ghostface silhouettes are everywhere in horror tee collections.

Pennywise, Leatherface, Jigsaw, Ghostface, Chucky — these horror icons frequently top “most iconic horror movie characters on T-shirts” lists.

Horror film merchandise collabs — for example, the film Hereditary worked with a T-shirt brand (Online Ceramics) to release spooky merch timed with the film’s release.

These shirts do more than advertise a movie — they let fans wear the fear, the mythology, and the nostalgia.
Fun Fact: In horror’s early days, some monster magazines and comics (e.g. from Warren Publishing) inspired horror-themed tees in the ’70s — vintage designs are now collectible.

Upcoming Halloween Films & Shows
Seasonal thrills are coming. Here’s what’s on the horizon (that we’re keeping tabs on):
New horror anthology series and film revivals are being teased across streaming platforms for Halloween 2025.
Genres are blending: sci-fi horror, supernatural suspense, and haunted-tech narratives are increasing in popularity.
Expect crossover merch, too — horror fans love collectible tees tied to new shows.
We’ll be watching these releases closely — and maybe designing a few tee tributes of our own.
Halloween & Tee Facts
Halloween is one of the best-selling seasons for apparel and themed merchandise across fashion brands.
The phrase “trick or treat” became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s and ’30s, but costume culture has roots in age-old harvest festivals.
T-shirts allow brands and artists a low-risk canvas to experiment with seasonal graphics and themes.
Some horror film characters, like Michael Myers, are strongly associated with clothing (mask + jumpsuit) — so T-shirts become a way to own a piece of the identity.
Sci-Fi & Space News / Upcoming Shows
Switching from haunted alleys to cosmic mysteries:
Dark Wolf Nebula — astronomers released an image around Halloween 2024 that eerily resembled a cosmic wolf, dubbed the Dark Wolf Nebula.
Space
NASA’s Solar Sounds — in a Halloween-themed effort, NASA released “Sinister Sounds of the Solar System” paired with imagery of the sun resembling a jack-o’-lantern.
SYFY
Upcoming Sci-Fi TV (2025) — Big franchises like Alien: Earth and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds are set to expand later this year.
Space
On Rotten Tomatoes, recent sci-fi listings include Invasion and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds among the new and returning shows.
