Outcome

Bringing them to life.
These horrifying stickers are created with simple shapes and pathfinders in Adobe Illustrator, focusing on facial expressions and subtle details. Once the designs were dialed in, they were chopped up and brought into Apple Motion to be animated, and then sent to Xcode for submission to the App Store.
Make FaceTime killer.
Wear a mask to your next FaceTime call by placing a Killer Sticker on top of your face — nobody wants to see your ugly mug anyways.
The devil’s in the details.
The "Screamshots" in the App Store are inspired by the wax wrapper, off-register, halftone vibe seen in vintage trading cards and sticker packs from the 1980s. Illustrator brush packs and textures from Retro Supply Co. came in super handy for achieving these vintage effects.
Freddy and Jason approved.
Select designs have been brought to life with help from Sticker Mule. All merch is quality inspected by Freddy Kruger and Jason Voorhees before making their way onto laptops, backpacks, mugs, and coffins. ⚰️
Grooves for ghouls.
Keep your Halloween party going late into the night with this Killer Halloween playlist featuring tunes from The Misfits, Billy Idol, Mötley Crüe, Talking Heads, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Black Keys, and more.
