Wear the horror: MOTELX 2025 Merch now on Pre-Sale
To seek love is to move toward fear. At MOTELX, these two forces intertwine like the flower and the thorn — inseparable, eternal. The official 2025 merchandise is now available for pre-sale, and this year, more than ever, you can wear horror in style.
Where the love for horror finds its voice: “I’m gonna find you and kill you with love.”
Designed by Pedro B. Maia, this year’s festival branding makes a bold statement from the very first glance. The new stylistic concept is not for the faint of heart. With typography that dances between tradition and modernity, it pulses with tension, suspense, and a dark/pink beauty that promises to leave a mark. Each merch item is an extension of MOTELX’s visual universe: bold, unsettling, and irresistibly seductive. Here, the seduction of the flower hides the terror of the thorn.
This year, a dark femme fatale blooms in electric pink. The visual inspiration for the 19th edition of Lisbon’s International Horror Film Festival is rooted in striking contrasts: vivid pink, abyssal black, all wrapped in lethal feminine power. A symbol that blossoms with venomous beauty—seducing before it kills.
In this pre-sale phase, available exclusively in our Online Store, all items will be pickup only, during the Warm-Up and Festival.
This is your warning. The pre-sale has begun. The flower is open. The thorn, prickly and sharp. The flower and thorn, like sorrow and love, linked forever.
Wearing the 2025 MOTELX merch is a statement of radical cinephilia. These pieces are designed as cult artefacts — shirts, tote bags, posters, and so many other objects of desire — infused with the spirit of the festival: daring to face the horror of the thorn to pluck the flower of a shadowy love.
Visit our Online Store and dress accordingly for MOTELX 2025. Seduce and haunt — to kill with love.
