Review: Shoe Palace Unleashes Killer New Horror Collections

Review: Shoe Palace Unleashes Killer New Horror Collections

I’m a sucker for anything horror, so when I learned that Shoe Palace is releasing three new horror collections, I had to get my hands on some of the collections that feature shirts, hoodies, and joggers from the horror franchises, Chucky, Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. . Some pieces, like the hoodies, feature embroidered logos, which is a nice touch. Most of the hoodies feature images and posters from the franchises and feature rich colors. They aren’t going to fade. I’m most fond of the red Friday the 13th hoodie with the original poster on the back. It’s a good-looking piece. It also may have something to do with the fact that the 1980 original was the first horror movie I saw. It’s the movie that began my love of the genre. Some of the joggers have the movie’s titles in a raised form down the legs, which I really like. The art on the front of
