Combining a 1980's Saturday morning cartoon with a 1980's Saturday night slasher once again, Fright Rags is set to celebrate the upcoming Friday the 13th in their own unique style. Two years ago, this line's first shirt featured Jason wielding his trademark machete. Now the latest version of Fright Rag's "G.I. Jason: A Real American Slasher" has been revealed, and it should delight fans who have a soft spot for Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood.
A mash-up of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and Camp Crystal Lake's durable killer, Jason Voorhees, this latest shirt offering from Fright Rags depicts Jason with the branch saw he used to tear into the conniving Dr. Crews in the horror franchise's seventh entry. This post-Part VI zombified Jason is displayed in a classic action pose: springing forward off his right leg, chain from Part VI waving wildly behind his neck, bones visible amidst the G.I. Joe-like muscles bulging from his green-gray shirt and pants. With the patriotic red, white, and blue title, this shirt can be worn to equal effect this Friday the 13th and the very next day: Flag Day in the US.
Pre-orders begin at 10am EST this Friday at http://www.fright-rags.com/.
