The Vampira Special Edition Colorway — Black-on-Black Popsicle Deck by Tim Baron | Super-Limited | Super 8 Skateboard Co.
Rise from the grave — in the dead of night this time. The Vampira Special Edition Colorway is Super 8's super-limited, blacked-out tribute to the original horror hostess and her unforgettable turn in Plan 9 from Outer Space, Ed Wood's gloriously strange 1959 cult classic. With her wasp waist, clawed hands, and haunted stare, Vampira became the template for every spooky late-night TV host who followed — and graphic artist Tim Baron brings that ghoulish, B-movie glamour to a stealthy, shadow-dark board you won't see twice.
Here's the twist: some of the best decks are born by accident, and this one is exactly that. Originally intended for a different drop, these transfers came up just short — so they got pressed onto sleek black-on-black popsicle decks to create a truly super-limited special edition. The result is a one-off, gone-after-midnight version of Vampira: stealthy where the others are loud, and rare where the others restock.
Built on a true popsicle shape with traditional 7-ply maple construction, this black Vampira delivers the durable, sturdy, and poppy feel that's defined modern skating for decades, with a medium concave that locks your feet in for confident control on the streets, the park, or transition. Available in 8.25" and 8.5".
Because this special edition was a happy accident, once these black-on-black boards are gone, they're gone for good. Skate it hard, hang it on the wall, or do both — but don't keep her waiting. The Vampira Special Edition is independent skateboarding the way it should be: real wood, real art, real B-movie legend.
