TERROR TALES: HORROR INSPIRED STREETWEAR FROM VIRGINIA

2017

I started this brand late into 2017 during my freshman year of college after already being in the fashion space for a few years in vintage clothing reselling. The idea behind the brand was to create the perfect quality blend of vintage, horror, and streetwear, while still being affordable.

The first capsule by the brand was mostly focused on Text-based graphics and birthed the Best-selling ‘World of Terror” Hoodie.

2018

I spent the year learning more and more of what I wanted to create and what the brand was about. This year brought the ‘Lambo’ Tee, ‘Soldiers’ Hoodie, and the ‘Reaper’ Tee all done by the amazing artist Crimewave (@crimewave on IG). 

This year also brought along my first ever sold out drop which was the Embroidered Version of the ‘World Of Terror’ Hoodie. 

2019

This was sort of the “break-out” year for the brand. I released the ‘debut’ collection which featured the first ever cut and sew pieces: the ‘WOT’ Rugby Shirt and the ‘Mushroom Cloud’ button down. 

I also had the opportunity to meet Sean Wotherspoon and have a pop-up at the LA Round Two Store as well as release the first collaboration item with Lil Aaron’s brand HAZHEART. These events allowed the brand to be put in British GQ Magazine as well as worn by Ty Dolla Sign.

2020

This year brought collections 3 and 4 which included some of my favorite pieces including the ‘Child of Terror’ T-shirt, ‘Skully’ T-shirt, X-Ray Button down, the ‘Screams’ Shorts, and many others.

2021-2022

These 2 years brought collections 5-7, which included some of the most popular pieces such as the ‘King of Skulls’ t-shirt, ‘pistol’ shorts, as well as the ‘Doomsday’ T-shirt as seen on Jake Paul.

 

2023

The biggest year for the brand so far. Couldn’t be more excited to have Terror Tales release in over 50 zumiez stores worldwide as well as on the website. You can check out their current selection of Terror Tales pieces right here.

2024

This is the year that everything changed. Terror Tales went from a side project of mine to my fulltime business with the creation and the release of the Fear Tree Skull Camo. This one design completely changed my life. I couldn't be more grateful for all of the new and existing customers this brought to the brand and I am still in disbelief of the support.

2025 

2025 Was a year of tremendous growth and growing pains for the brand. We launched a collab with Unwanted Collection with the 'Fear Tree' camo pattern at the Half Evil Store in Chicago and in turn created the most successful online release ever for Terror Tales. The support was and still has been completely unreal ever since and I allowed me to continue to create and drop new items including a fully new camo design called 'Frostbite'. With the overwhelming support these releases have seen came a lot of growing pains and it became too much for me to handle as a one man team anymore. This year also brought my dream project which was a fully Licensed collaboration with SHUDDER and 4 of their most popular films, which is now available.

As of the end of 2025, Terror Tales now has a fulfillment, customer service, and creative team. As this brand grows my priority has always been to improve the customer experience in every way possible and I knew if I kept doing this on my own, it would be a disservice to everyone purchasing and supporting the brand. 

Thank you all for your constant support and patience as we get these new systems in place and I can't wait to show you what we have in-store for 2026.
