One of many issues I’m most pleased with doing right here within the horror world is co-creating the “Horror Buddies” with Horror Decor, impressed by the WWF “Wrestling Buddies” of my youth. Together with artist Matt Ryan, we launched the favored line means again in 2013 with icons together with Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees, however all good issues inevitably come to an finish.
Eleven years after we initially launched the road, Horror Decor has introduced this month that they’re formally discontinuing the “Horror Buddies” line on the finish of this 12 months.
The corporate explains, “We’ve all the time tried to give you one thing new and thrilling that nobody else was making. Sadly, there at the moment are a whole lot of different corporations doing one thing comparable. Horror Buddies are costly and time consuming for us to supply as we make all of them by hand. Whereas it’s been run, the road actually isn’t thrilling for us anymore since there are such a lot of others cranking out comparable designs.”
“With that being mentioned,” the assertion continues, “you could have till the top of 2024 to order any of the Horror Buddies that we presently have obtainable on the location. They may disappear on January 1st, 2025. Because of everybody who has supported this line over the previous decade.”
Within the wake of the unique Freddy and Jason “Horror Buddies,” the road grew through the years to incorporate Child Selwyn from Useless Alive, Seth Brundle from The Fly, Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Bloodbath Half 2, Farmer Vincent from Motel Hell, Uncle Frank from Hellraiser, WolfCop and the characters from The Barn, all of that are nonetheless presently obtainable.
You’ll be able to seize these and different “Horror Buddies” in varied completely different sizes, together with backpack clips/Christmas ornaments, now by way of December 31, 2024. When the calendar turns over to 2025, they’re gone ceaselessly. Refill over on Horror Decor whilst you nonetheless can.
And because of everybody who’s bought their very own these previous eleven years!
