The ‘OG Vampires’ shirt capitalizes on our current fascination with vampires and it’s pretty awesome. Jesse Starr created the ‘OG Vampires' shirt and it can be yours for only $20.

‘OG Vampires’ featured on the [black t-shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee) are Edward Cullen (being embraced by), Count von Count, Blade and Bella Lugosi as Dracula. Yet missing are my favorite [modern vamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colourpop-x-twilight)--those from 'True Blood.'

Come to think of it, if the Bella and Edward of the ‘OG Vampires’ shirt hooked up, it would make for way more interesting movies and books. I would definitely watch/read those.
