I did some photoshop tweaks to these two images, removing text and other clutter. They would make awesome tshirt designs. Sometime in the next year I want to make Monster Brains logo tshirts to sell on this blog and I might come back to this image for that. The Monster Brains logo in red would look really good on a shirt with this image at the center. The image is from a Theater window card advertising the stage version of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula," shown on November 5, 1928 at Ford's Theatre in Baltimore, MD. The wear of almost a century against the flat black resembles stars in outer space upon closer inspection, giving the Dracula head a weird cosmic terror vibe. I've been really inspired by this painting and I'm considering doing a series of paintings in a similar style. Monster heads against flat black backgrounds.
The bottom picture should be obvious to any horror movie fan, Bela Lugosi with a unibrow next to a primate... Murders in the Rue Morgue. You give Bela Lugosi control of a blood thirsty ape and nothing good is going to come from that.
And last, a similar beast...

That Dracula image is amazing! that would make a fantastic shirt.
I'm lucky enough to own a pair of pj pants covered with that image, courtesy of Target (of all places). I bought them a couple years ago and refuse to throw them out, despite obvious signs of enthusiastic wear. They also say "Dracula" and "The World Famous Vampire Thriller."
I actually saw someone wearing a t-shirt with that Dracula image on it yesterday. It sounds like it might have matched Anonymous' pj pants, because it had the words "Dracula" and "The World Famous Vampire Thriller" underneath it also.
