Striga Slavic Folklore T-Shirt – Vampire Folk Horror Graphic Tee

Striga Slavic folklore T-shirt featuring a vampire-inspired folk horror design, printed on a black Gildan Heavy Cotton G5000 unisex tee.
A dark graphic shirt built around the Striga — a predatory supernatural figure associated with Slavic and Eastern European folklore, reimagined here as a grave-born creature emerging from a ruined burial ground.
The artwork combines a feral female monster, glowing eyes, torn folk-inspired fabric, graveyard architecture, bones, roots and ritual-style ornament.
THE DESIGN
Striga – The Grave-Born Hunger is a dark folk-horror interpretation of one of the best-known supernatural archetypes from Slavic tradition.
The design combines:
- a vampiric female creature
- glowing yellow eyes
- torn red-and-cream folk-inspired textile details
- graveyard and stone architecture
- skulls, roots and smoke
- distressed bone-toned typography
- dark red and bronze accents built specifically for black fabric
The result is more ritual horror than Halloween novelty — designed for people who like Slavic folklore, gothic horror, monsters and darker graphic tees.

FIT & SIZING
This is a classic unisex fit.
Choose your usual size for a standard fit, or size up if you prefer a more relaxed look.
Please check the size guide in the listing images before ordering. Measurements are provided in both centimetres and inches.
COLOUR
Black only.
The black fabric was chosen specifically for this artwork so the graveyard shadows, smoke, roots and darker body tones blend naturally into the shirt while the red details and glowing eyes remain visible.
PRINT
The artwork is applied using DTG printing, allowing the fine textures, distressed details and subtle colour transitions to reproduce without the heavy feel of a large vinyl transfer.
Each garment is printed individually to order, so very small variations in placement or colour may occur.
CARE
Wash inside out at 30°C.
Wash with similar colours.
Do not bleach.
Do not tumble dry.
Do not iron directly over the artwork.
The Striga has already survived the grave.
Your tumble dryer does not need to finish the job.
MADE TO ORDER
Each shirt is produced specifically after an order is placed.
Production and fulfilment are handled by our UK production partner, Inkthreadable.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Striga – The Grave-Born Hunger is an original Bite Your Tongue concept developed as part of our Slavic folk-horror collection.
The artwork takes inspiration from Slavic supernatural traditions, vampire folklore and burial imagery, but is presented as an original dark-fantasy interpretation rather than a literal reconstruction of one historical description.
AI-assisted creative tools form part of our design process, alongside concept development, art direction, selection, refinement, correction and final preparation for print.
Each finished artwork is developed as part of the Bite Your Tongue catalogue rather than uploaded as an unedited stock graphic.
