Vans is ringing in spooky season with a brand new horror-centric apparel and footwear collection, dropped today.

The collection features a wide range of silhouettes, such as Era, Old-Skool and Slip-On, inspired by iconic horror films including “It,” “Nightmare on Elm Street,” “The Shining,” “Friday the 13th,” and “The Exorcist,” among others. The collection, in partnership with Warner Bros., also features hats, sweatshirts, socks and bags designed with bloody, horror-centric imagery.

The Vans Sk8-Hi sneakers are showcased in most of the campaign imagery. One features black and red blood splatters as a reference to Freddy Krueger, while the other is designed in yellow graphics from “The Shining.” Other silhouettes include imagery of Jason Voorhees from “Friday the 13th” and black-and-white designs from “The Exorcist.”

Vans X Nightmare on Elm Street Sk8-Hi

These vibrant canvas uppers are designed with red blood splatters atop a black and dark gray base as a nod to the murderous Freddy Krueger in “Nightmare on Elm Street.” The legendary hi-top shoes features the classic silhouette, with reinforced toe caps, supportive padded collars and Vans’ signature rubber waffle outsoles. We like these the most because they’re clearly a nod to Freddy, but only for those who can recognize the sweater pattern.
