Personally, if it was going through the Stephen King, website I wouldn’t use any image taken off the internet, even images not from the movie. There are rules that allow you to manipulate an image and not run afoul of copyright laws, but they’re complicated. And I’m sure we don’t want there to by any possibility of a hassle for King. If the shirts were made elsewhere for a small run and not sold for profit, you would probably be fine. But to offer them through stephenking.com you must be very careful. The one I did with the axe is okay, and the two below would be okay, as I created them myself without any image captures. But I’d stay away from all the others I presented. (note: the text the first one below is copyrighted, but I doubt King would mind in this case :))

Since that text (iconic as it is) wasn't even in the book, I agree he probably wouldn't care. :wink: Spot on with all the rest, though. :smile2:

I like the idea of a fancy room 217 plaque with bloody fingerprints at the bottom of the plaque and "King Kon 2016" underneath the logo. That marks it as book (as I remember, they made the room # different for the movie) related, and is recognizable for anyone who has read the book. Swear to heaven, the scary part of the chapter called "Inside 217" started on pg 217 of my book, and freaked me out so much I had to go sit between my parents to read that section. Still one of the scariest things I've ever read.

Wasn't paying close attention to that one and that's another one of those that really isn't something Steve came up with even though people think he's the one that said it. It was really Robert Bloch who first said the quote about having the heart of a small boy in a jar and Steve repeated it later but gets the credit.

I know, I know. But nobody thinks of Robert Bloch when they hear the quote, only Stephen King. I look at it the same way I look at the song “I LOVE ROCK 'N' ROLL.” We think of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, not the Arrows.
