[Gift Guide] Pizza Party Printing’s “Sharp Hand Joe” T-Shirt is a Deep Cut for the Hardcore Freddy Fan
The most hardcore Nightmare on Elm Street fans are no doubt familiar with “Sharp Hand Joe,” an old school bootleg Freddy Krueger toy that put the Dream Demon into a white and red striped sweater and avoided copyright infringement by coming up with a hilarious new name for the horror icon. Next to Robert Cop, it’s one of the most beloved bootleg toys out there, and Pizza Party Printing has just immortalized the bootleg slasher with his own t-shirt!
Billed as “the official bootleg shirt of the official bootleg toy of everyone’s favorite clawed, dream-dwelling slasher,” the shirt features art by Jimmy Giegerich, and it’s the perfect gift for the Nightmare on Elm Street fan who has it all. Most Freddy fans no doubt have at least a couple Elm Street shirts in their closet, but this deep cut will impress even the biggest fans.
The design is available on t-shirts, ladies tees, baseball tees, ringer tees, long sleeve tees and sweatshirts, with prices ranging from $25 (t-shirt) to $35 (sweatshirt).
Grab one for a friend (or yourself) over on Pizza Party Printing!
Can you believe this year marks the 25TH ANNIVERSARY of Bloody Disgusting?! Yes, it was way back in 2001 that Brad Miska and Tom Owen launched this very website, with yours truly taking over as Editor-in-Chief around 10 years ago. It’s been the highlight of my life to run and write for this website every single day of those past 10 years, and one of the very best things about writing for Bloody Disgusting is the community that’s kept us alive all these years.
It’s thanks to you, the readers and supporters of Bloody Disgusting, that we get to keep doing this for a living, and we’re deeply proud of the fact that we’ve continued to have an engaged and active readership over the years and throughout the many changes we’ve had to weather.
We’re not going anywhere anytime soon, and we hope you’re not either.
On that note, we thought it might be fun to fire up monthly discussion threads where you can essentially use the comments sections of those articles to ask us anything. Sure, we’re always hanging around in the comments sections of different articles here and there when we can, but these will be dedicated spaces that we can repeatedly come back to throughout each month to answer questions and chat about what’s going on in the world of horror.
For the month of June 2026, this is that discussion thread. Feel free to come on back here any day throughout June to ask us literally anything, or start up a discussion on any topic of your choosing. Whenever we’ve got some spare time in between writing articles, we’ll pop in here and engage back with as many of those comments as we possibly can.
As long as you’re being pleasant, even if you’re expressing disagreements with our opinions or frustrations with anything we’re doing, the conversation will be more than welcome.
So go ahead… ASK BLOODY DISGUSTING ANYTHING!
