Crocs is taking a stab at Halloween fashion, unleashing a trio of terror-ific clogs that might have horror enthusiasts running—not from fear, but to the nearest store.
On September 13, which happens to be Friday the 13th (but of course), the footwear giant will debut a spooky new All-Terrain Clogs pack that pays tribute to three of cinema’s most spine-chilling villains. The shoes draw inspiration from Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and It Chapter Two, bringing Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Pennywise to life in an unexpectedly comfy form.

Jason Voorhees’s pair captures the essence of Camp Crystal Lake’s most infamous resident. These clogs feature a weathered look complete with splatter effects that might make you think twice before dipping your toes in the lake. Jibbitz charms add the finishing touches, with miniature versions of Jason’s iconic hockey mask, knives, and nods to the fictional camp.

Freddy Krueger fans can slip into a nightmare with the second pair in the collection, which sports the dream demon’s signature red and green striped pattern, accented with what appears to be blood splatters. Jibbitz featuring Freddy’s razor-sharp claws and his trademark fedora complete the look, ensuring these shoes are ready for action on Elm Street or your local grocery store.

Rounding out the haunting trio is a pair inspired by Pennywise from It. These clogs showcase the terrifying visage of the shape-shifting clown, partially obscured by streaks of red. A clown nose charm on the heel strap adds a final touch of whimsy to this otherwise chilling design.
Champs Sports has offered a sneak peek at the collection, which is set to retail at US$75 per pair. Just remember, while these shoes might be inspired by characters known for their stealth, squeaky Crocs are often anything but silent.
