Free B Movie T-Shirt Prints
Here is a collection of my B-movie T-shirt prints that you can download for free. Then, go to any print-on-demand service and order a shirt or another clothing item with your favorite exploitation film character printed on it.
I have about fifty prints with characters from films by Jess Franco, Jean Rollin, Walerian Borowczyk, José Larraz, Eduardo Cemano, Cosmotropia de Xam, Wim Vink, and other cult classic directors.
In terms of genres, among this collection, you will find:
- vampires
- satanists and witches
- cheeky and sinful nuns
- the living dead
and other fantastic or humorous characters from the 70's-90's exploitation movies.

First, download them from one of these places:
Then, go to a print-on-demand company's site (such as Printful — they ship internationally) and order a shirt with your chosen design on it. Perhaps, you have a local print vendor who does it cheaper...
About This Project
My original idea was selling shirts with these pictures printed on them. I made a website connected to a print-on-demand service (Printful). This way, an order placed on my site was automatically transferred to the print-on-demand company that printed the design on a shirt and sent the product to the buyer.
I sorted out the legal part of this small business too: taxes, electronic receipts, the electronic payment system sending payments to my bank account...
To avoid legal problems, I reached out to the copyright holders of some of the films — Serge Rollin (Jean Rollin's son), Nigel Wingrove (a director and founder of the video label Redemption Films, whom I had interviewed on video), and Ed Seeman (Eduardo Cemano) whom I had also interviewed for my blog. I got permission from them, but there were so many other films that I used. I couldn’t get in touch with every copyright holder, not to mention finding out who held the copyright for every film. So I just didn’t care anymore. Anyway, commercially speaking, this project was very far from a scale that was likely to create problems for me. Also, I lived in Ukraine (without knowing for sure that one day I’d manage to leave it). So nobody would bother to start a litigation against me: it would be difficult (or rather impossible) to have a Ukrainian court punish me.
It took me much time and effort to learn how to create designs that would be
colorful and sharp enough to look good when printed on fabric. I had to order
samples of my designs and wait for two or three weeks to get them in the mail,
which was also costly. My first attempts weren’t good enough to sell them, so
I had to improve them and order samples again…
During 2022-2023, I sold fifteen shirts to B-movie fans from France, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Belgium. While I'm pleased to know these people loved my designs, I decided that keeping operating this "business" wasn't worth the money I paid for the domain and hosting as well as the hassle with accounting.
So my website no longer exists. And I no longer sell shirts. However, now I
offer my designs for free. You can download any print you like (or all of
them) for free, go to any print-on-demand service you like and order a shirt,
a hoodie, a dress or whatever, from it. This way, I earn nothing, and you will
buy a B-movie shirt cheaper than if you ordered it from my website (because
when I had a site, I had to charge buyers for taxes I had to pay to the
government, my profit, the payment transfer service's fee etc).
After printing a shirt with my design, send me a picture of yourself wearing
it — I will be pleased.
