Crypt TV has made strides in the digital media world by creating characters who adopt the creative processes and rhetoric of online video stars despite being fictional themselves. A part of any online video star's career is the sale of merchandise, and with the spookiest time of the year coming up, it only makes sense for Crypt's characters to sell their own gear, too. The horror-themed media company has teamed up with Fullscreen to launch a store on which viewers can purchase clothing, accessories, and other curios related to characters like Giggles the Clown.
Fullscreen handled the backend side of the partnership, with Crypt stocking its store with goods related to its creations. At launch, merchandise related to three characters -- Giggles, The Birch, and the Sunny Family Cult -- is up for sale. Typical tie-in items, such as shirts and posters, are available, as are more unusual options like masks and makeup kits.

For Giggles The Clown, however, the secret to success involves a gothic getup and copious amounts of (presumably fake) blood. Giggles is the creation of the horror video producer Crypt TV, and less than a month after she launched her own Facebook page, she now counts more than 100,000 fans, many of whom are engaging with her the same way they would engage with a more typical influencer.

Giggles, who arrived around the time of a series of viral clown sightings last year, is one of Crypt’s most notable icons, and the...
