Walmart Has a ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ Christmas Shirt That You Probably Need
The only thing better than Freddy vs. Jason is Freddy AND Jason.
Walmart has in recent years been offering up fun horror shirts, most of which seem to be available exclusively around Halloween time. They’re not always the best shirts, but at a mere $7.50 each, well, let’s just say you won’t find cheaper horror shirts on the market.
This year, Walmart has put up for grabs a Christmas-themed shirt that unites Freddy and Jason for the holiday season, and it’s now available in stores nationwide.
“Well, even the most evil killers like to sit down by the Christmas Tree and exchange presents,” reads Walmart’s description. “This shirt features two of the worst of the worst. The tee features a Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees graphic from the horror movies A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th. Freddy is sitting in a chair while Jason with his bloody sword stands nearby. A perfect setting for their family photo by the Christmas Tree and presents.”
The shirt appears to be an in-store exclusive, however you can purchase it through Walmart’s website from a third party seller. The only catch? It’s $19.99 online.
“His bloody sword.” Yes, we’re laughing about that too.
