FearWerx Uncle George’s Zombie Extermination Service T-Shirt
ESTABLISHED 1968. THE DEAD DON’T STAND A CHANCE.
SLAY-BOR DAY LAUNCH SPECIAL: $24.99 (reg. $28.99)
Every town needs a reliable exterminator. When the infestation happens to be walking corpses, you call Uncle George.
One of FearWerx’s earliest breakout designs, Uncle George’s Zombie Extermination Service transforms the look of a vintage local exterminator advertisement into a tribute to the filmmaker who established the modern zombie as we know it: George A. Romero.
The company’s “Established 1968” date marks the release of Romero’s landmark Night of the Living Dead. The deliberately weathered, old-fashioned design imagines that Uncle George and his crew have been quietly handling the zombie problem ever since.
The shirt became one of FearWerx’s biggest convention-era successes, selling thousands during its original run. In later years, the connection came full circle when Romero’s manager carried the shirts on consignment at Romero’s convention table.
Now revived through The Monster Channel Store, Uncle George’s Zombie Extermination Service is back in business—because some infestations never stay buried.

FROM THE FEARWERX ARCHIVES FearWerx began at New Jersey’s Monster-Mania convention, where its original horror designs developed a devoted following before horror apparel became a mainstream category. The FearWerx-sponsored 100 Years of Monster Movies campaign eventually inspired a three-day online horror marathon watched by approximately 30,000 unique viewers—and from that experiment, The Monster Channel was born. |
