Judas Priest - Screaming for Halloween - Hand Painted Jacket

Heavy Metal ChemistSat, 25/10/2025 - 17:11

Finally I'm able to share this with you all....This is the start of my Judas Priest dedication jacket named 'Screaming for Halloween' 🤘🎃🤘

The Hellion is taken from the Priest 1982 Halloween Event Shirt (Screaming for Halloween - Picture 7). I like silly things, and the Hellion with a broom under its ass and a witch hat on made me chuckle when I saw it 😅
The (amazing!) artist and I came up with the idea to put a graveyard underneath the Hellion to make the jacket a bit more thematic 🎃👻 as well as filling up some space (picture 8; the mock up). Eventually the graveyard became something really special!!!

In the graveyard we put a whole bunch of heavy metal references and Easter eggs! Some are cut clear and easy to spot, but there are a bunch of Easter eggs that are quite hard. Only the trve metal maniacs will be able to spot those.
I'm looking forward to see if you can find them all!!!

All credits should go to the artist (instagram: ros.custom.artwork; TSS: https://tshirtslayer.com/user/roscustomartwork#profile-main), who also painted my Maiden jacket (https://tshirtslayer.com/battle-jacket/iron-maiden-arrive-alive-85-custo...)

The artwork really speaks for itself I think. As you can see the artist did an outstanding stellar job, and he went above and beyond to make this jacket his own with that wonderful graveyard.
Besides being an amazing artist, he is also a lovely person and true have metal maniac. I cannot recommend him enough to anybody who wants to have his/her jacket customized

Incredibly beautiful, cool work on this jacket. So many wonderful ideas were so wonderfully implemented. This is a true master of his craft. So many details...incredible. Congratulations on this jacket!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! You are spot on when you said "...a true master of his craft". He will be delighted to hear that 🤘

The artist and I had so much fun coming up with all the ideas the graveyard. I gave him so many Easter Eggs and references that it was surely too much, but he did an outstanding job implementing most of them in that graveyard. The graveyard is really his signature on this jacket, and I'm so proud to show it to everybody. I couldn't have wished for a better person to paint this jacket 🤘

So creative and cool! Love it. The graveyard is particularly rad.

Thanks for the flames mate!
I'm so happy the artist came up with the mock-up featuring the graveyard. From that moment I went mental with thinking of Easter Eggs and reference to put in. I love it how the artist was open for incorporating them, and the sketch he came up with after was just mind blowing. The end result even better 🤘

Jeff this might be the coolest Halloween item we see all year! This thing is flawless man! I love all the little easter eggs hidden in the grave yard, ust like Live After Death, the angelic cat is a one of my favorite Iron Maiden icons so I'm glad he's enjoying a prominent position.
Five flames aren't enough, wear this one with pride!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment man! 🤘🎃🤘
I cannot say that I haven't been somewhat inspired by Maiden's Live After Death when it comes to the Easter Eggs, as well as Easter Egg Valhalla... the Somewhere in Time front cover.
A Halloween jacket cannot go without a black cat, and the angelic cat was the most obvious choice when I thought of one. Although easy to spot due to it's prominent position, and in your face glaring eyes, I don't know whether many recognize it as the angelic cat on the back cover of Live after Death.

I hope you enjoyed the Easter Egg hunt, but did you spot the most difficult one? One referring to one of my favorite Judas Priest songs? 😉
