HOUSE ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK (VHS Cover) Crewneck Sweatshirt Design
This design is a direct homage to the iconic VHS cover art of the 1980s horror film, House on the Edge of the Park. It's a visual love letter to the era of video nasties and the distinctive marketing that defined them.
The Menacing Figure
The centerpiece of the design is a grim, hooded figure, rendered in the style of classic exploitation horror art. This menacing character, often a skeletal or masked figure, clutches a gleaming blade. The choice of imagery is deliberate: it's a visual shorthand for danger, violence, and the unsettling atmosphere of the film. The hooded form adds a layer of mystery and anonymity, increasing the sense of dread.
Title Treatment
The movie title, House on the Edge of the Park, is emblazoned across the design in bold, stylized lettering. This lettering is evocative of the era, reminiscent of the fonts used on countless VHS covers. It immediately identifies the film and anchors the overall design within the specific aesthetic of 80s horror.
Symbolism of the Design
The design is filled with symbolism, representative of the film's themes of violence, terror, and transgression. The blade itself is a potent symbol of aggression and impending harm. The dark background often used in the original VHS cover art heightens the sense of menace and isolation. By capturing these elements, the design is a declaration of love for a specific moment in horror history, representing the raw, unfiltered aesthetic that defined an era.
Unisex Heavy-Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
A clean, dependable crewneck engineered for everyday wear. The cotton/poly blend keeps prints bright and the fit approachable — neither too boxy nor too snug. It's the sort of sweatshirt you reach for when comfort matters.
Product Highlights
Built from a balanced cotton and polyester mix, this crewneck gives you the soft hand of cotton with the color-keeping and shape retention polyester offers. That fabric combo helps printed artwork look crisp and vibrant, wash after wash.
Practical construction details — a ribbed knit collar that holds its shape and the absence of side seams — remove common annoyances so the sweatshirt feels smooth and lasting during everyday use.
- Cotton/poly blend for softness, durability, and color retention
- Ribbed knit collar to prevent stretching and keep a neat neckline
- No side seams for a cleaner feel against the skin
- Midweight construction — warm without bulk

Fit & Style Notes
The cut is unisex and intended to be versatile — choose your normal size for a classic fit or size up if you prefer a relaxed, contemporary silhouette. The length and sleeve proportions are tuned for easy layering.
Style it with high-waist jeans for a clean look, throw on a lightweight coat for chilly commutes, or match with joggers for a comfortable set. Works well with bold prints or minimalist branding.
