And the winner is…
Well, this is it… After weeks (months) of voting, it has come down to one final design. Read on to see what design got the most votes, and when it will be available!
By a landslide vote of 58%, the viewer’s choice goes to:
SHIRT - FRONT
SHIRT - BACK
This design will be printed by the end of July and available EXCLUSIVELY to newsletter members only! So if you’ve been receiving regular updates to this all along, then you will receive a special link where you can order this shirt once it becomes available. Not only will you have a chance to get something you helped create, but you will be one of the lucky few who own it! Again, only members of the newsletter will receive this special link at it will not be available to the public.
I do want to mention that because it is a front and back design, the shirt will cost more than our regular shirts. However, I am doing everything I can to keep the increase minimal so that everyone has a chance to get this awesome design.
Thanks again to all of you who voted and posted your comments. I’m flattered and humbled by the response and I’ll definitely be doing something like this again. Thanks again and enjoy the shirt!

Looks friggin’ great!
I’m glad to see that the text vs no text debate was able to be solved with a nice compromise from both sides. i was on the no text bandwagon, but on the back it looks great. i cannot wait to buy my shirt!!! thanks!
I just want to say that this was a great experience. Numerous times throughout the whole thing, the choice I voted for didn’t get picked. But it was still a lot of fun to be involved in the whole process and see it all come together.
Thanks, Ben.
LOL @ the ridiculous text. Ruins the shirt. The art is very nice though.
Hell yeah – I’m getting that!!!!
Awesome! Will be ordering once these bad boys are released!
oh you know I will still buy one even with the text. I just won’t wear to work and I will always face my kids and never turn my back on them. I do that anyways;)
Nice. I had orginally voted for the text on the front, but have to admit, I like it better on the back. I’ll be buying it for sure!
I knew the shirt would cost more which is why I voted for the text on the front. No matter, the shirt looks awesome and this experience was great.
This is an awesome design!!! The illustration work is just top notch.
How do I get in on the act, btw?
It looks wicked awesome!
Good idea on the voting and customer participation thing all around, looking forward to the next one!
Did you mean how to get the shirt? If you’re on the newsletter, you will receive an email when it’s available. Otherwise, sign up on the homepage to get on the list! Nice art work on your site, btw!
NICE!
Not the initial design I voted for, but definitely everything I could have wanted in this design: color, text placement, etc.
Can’t wait to sport one!
Keep up the great work Ben!
JAWS shirt next!!!! JAWS JAWS JAWS JAWS JAWS JAWS JAWS JAWS JAWS
great shirt. loved that there was a fair compromise here. i myself like the text included in these shirts (unless its an icon’s headshot) because i think it helps other people recognize it. i could be wrong. its a funny/classic/iconic line anyway.
Glad we got the text ont he back as a good compromise for everyone! I can’t wait!
Thats fantastic, that shirt really pops. Looks really good and Im glad as well that the comprimise of the graphic on the front and text on the back made it. Realy is top notch.
Excellent!
Look forward to wearing it by the FanExpo (in Toronto) in late August!
Can’t wait to get me one of those. Awesome!
hell yes i was hoping this design would win can’t wait to own this shirt
i have to agree with justine, i like the compromise of the text. i, too, voted against it, but now that i look at the final, it’s cool on the back. and i didn’t realize this was an EXCLUSIVE shirt, so more kudos to you, ben, for doin’ this!!!
can’t wait to order mine!!!
As good as the movie itself. Nice job. I’m off to buy some bubble gum…see ya.
NIce! Everything turned out fine. I’ll even have it in time for my convention. Sweet!
Thanks for making this a democratic process, but I personally don’t like shirts with images or text on the back, so I probably won’t be buying this one. Hopefully you sell a ton of them and keep going with other great ones.
Looks great! A nice compromise on your part to include a back text print as a choice. It is understandable that a two-sided shirt will cost a bit more but we all know that you will do everything you can to keep the cost as low as possible for us. Personally, I would like to see the two-sided shirts added to your inventory every once and a while Ben!
I hope I can find a job soon. Is any one in South east Michigan hiring? I want to get two of these!!!!
Hey Ben, I’m really happy with the results of the poll. I can’t wait to get my hands on this design but there’s a problem. I still don’t think I’m receiving the newsletter updates on my email. We spoke about this at Monster-Mania in CT, but lately I still don’t think I’ve been getting the updates. Can you please check on this again because I’d hate to miss out on this awesome design. Thanks in advance man and keep up the great work!
Text on the back was definitely the way to go. The front of that shirt stands alone. Great design and color scheme.
AWESOME – my fav won!!!!
yes and good point about the exclusivity — i hope you will be doing the same with all votes. after all that voting and re-voting it makes it that much cooler knowing that we will be the only ones allowed to buy. very cool. indeed.
I really liked the black/white and red design more, but im fine with this one because it was my 2nd favorite choice. Great design on the t-shirt and i`ll be chewing bubble gum and kicking ass once i buy this one! You guys rock Fright Rags!
This design was definitely the best choice to go with.Colors stand out here,as does the text on back.Very good job.
i am so happy to see the quote on the back! i’m ordering this for my friend as soon as that link hits my email!!
That shirt is friggin’ sweet!!
Get design, a quick question though, is there any chance you will have a booth at the Rue Morgue Festival of Fear in August?
Nope, unfortunately we won’t be there this year…
this is a sweet looking shirt, and the fact that we all had a say in it makes it that much sweeter. Cannot wait buy this sucka!
damn I was hoping the quote wouldn’t be on there.
Yes! It’s better than I even imagined.
Hey Murder3, hope those grapes ain’t too sour for ya!
YAY! I hope you will make this in girls sizes!!!
awesome
BEN!
BEN! BEN BEN!
I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU.
I WANT SIX OF THESE!
Nice final design!!! I can’t wait to be apart of the next contest like this!!!
CAN”T WAIT TO BUY THIS AND WEAR IT!!!!!!!
I agree. The experience of voting on each ot the stages was really fun. I hope you continue to do it this way. It was very enjoyable!
Gotta say I think it’s a shame the design that won was the one that won. I could’ve worn the shirt if there’d been no text, but with the text I can’t wear it where I work because of the language. Too bad, but it’s a good shirt! I wear all my other FRIGHT RAGS shirts at work. A little blood/gore is OK, but swear words are verboten at my place of employment.
Ben – have you ever considered making a no-text version available for a little less?
Oh, and it’s an AWESOME shirt, btw – I just wanted to wear it to work!
So hopefully I’ll be getting this. Money is REALLY tight right now. I wasn’t in the “text” camp but I do like it across the back. I love the voting process, even with all the disagreements it went pretty smoothly. Keep it up!
