Geek Apparel of the Week: Freddy Krueger as Rat Fink
 |
This tribute to the creations of both Big Daddy Roth and Wes Craven will burn rubber and your face. Called the Dream Machine, it’s more of a nightmare on wheels – though the dreamcatcher gear-shift lever is a nice touch; just call him Indian burn-face.
Freddy not your jam? Fright Rags has also given the Kustom Kulture makeover to Leatherface and Jason. Given that Rat Fink himself was a riff on Mickey Mouse, it’s all very meta; a commentary, perhaps, on how cultural icons change over time.
Far more likely, though, that someone just thought it would look cool. And it does.
