Cheerleaders from the Crypt: Give Me a B… Give Me a R… Give Me a I-N-S!
The Ghouls are in formation. The pyramid is structurally sound, which is impressive given the advanced state of decomposition of the base layer. The pom-poms are still functioning as intended. And the cheer has been adapted from the standard school spirit format to reflect the squad’s current dietary priorities — which are spelled out letter by letter with the timing and the pauses that the cheer format requires, the dots marking the gaps where the crowd is supposed to respond, the final spelling confirming that what the Ghouls want from the crowd is not exactly what the crowd was expecting to contribute to the pep rally. BRAINS. Give me a B. Give me an R. Give me an I-N-S. What does that spell? The Cheerleaders from the Crypt T-shirt is a neon-soaked, perfectly calibrated tribute to the zombie cheerleader horror comedy tradition — the high school setting invaded by the undead, the cheer format repurposed for a different kind of team spirit.
Zombie Cheerleader Horror, High School Undead Exploitation & Crypt Cheer Comedy Aesthetic
This design draws from the zombie horror comedy tradition and the high school exploitation film simultaneously — the two genres that have always been in conversation because the high school is the zombie film’s most domestic and most socially stratified setting, and the cheerleader is the zombie film’s most iconographically charged victim-turned-predator figure. The Ghouls uniform detail is the design’s finest touch — the school team that the cheerleaders represent is named for what they are rather than what they were, which is the most honest school spirit in the catalog. The pyramid formation is the cheer’s structural commitment maintained beyond the logic that originally produced it, which is both the most zombie thing about the image and the most cheerleader thing about it. The neon orange-pink-blue palette is the 80s high school horror film’s most distinctive color combination. The spell-out tagline is the most elaborately constructed joke in the catalog — the cheer format as the delivery mechanism for the zombie genre’s most recognizable appetite.
If You Love These Films, You’ll Love This Design:
- Return of the Living Dead (1985) — the zombie film that established the brain appetite and the high school-adjacent setting
- Night of the Creeps (1986) — the high school zombie horror film that understood the cheerleader as the genre’s most significant figure
- Shaun of the Dead (2004, Wright) — the zombie horror comedy that understood the genre’s cheer-adjacent community spirit
- Bring It On (2000) — the cheerleader film that established the competitive cheer format that this design adapts
- Toxic Avenger (1984, Troma) — the Troma horror film and the high school as the genre’s most productive institutional setting
- Jennifer’s Body (2009, Kusama) — the high school horror film with the cheerleader as monster rather than victim
- Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988) — the horror comedy that understood the school spirit event as a horror film setting
Original Cult 77 Identity
Cult 77 creates original artwork for those who understand that the zombie cheer spell-out was always the logical destination for the «BRAINS» appetite — that the cheer format was always going to serve the zombie film eventually because the call-and-response structure of the cheer and the appetitive specificity of the zombie were always going to find each other in the right high school corridor. The Ghouls are in formation. The pyramid is sound. Give me a B. Give me an R. Give me an I-N-S. What does that spell? This isn’t just a shirt; it’s the pep rally that the zombie film was always building toward, with the correct team name and the correct cheer and the correct crowd response built into the tagline’s ellipses.
