Friday The 13th Surprise At Horror Vibes Coffee
Jennifer Love Hewitt kicked off this Friday the 13th with a caffeinated thrill. On her Instagram feed, the actress shared a series of photos from Horror Vibes Coffee, where artist Paul Bourque (@pbourque77) transformed her iconic character Julie James into latte art. “This is one of the coolest honors,” she wrote, thanking Bourque for the tribute. “Two of my favorite things: Julie James and coffee! Go to Horror Vibes Coffee when you can and see all the amazing art and have a delicious coffee! What are you waiting for?!”
Inside The Horror Vibes Experience
Horror Vibes Coffee, known for its macabre décor and pop-culture mashups, tapped Paul Bourque to curate a special Friday the 13th collection. Fans will find custom illustrations of classic scream queens, vintage horror icons—and now Detective Julie James, the role that launched Hewitt into superstardom in the 1997 thriller I Know What You Did Last Summer. The coffee shop’s signature dark-roast served in collectible cups drew a rush of patrons eager to snap selfies with their spooktacular lattes.
Bourque’s detailed line work captures the fierce stare and wind-tossed hair of Hewitt’s character. In one shot, the foam portrait sits atop a black cup emblazoned with the tagline “Stay Alert, Stay Alive,” echoing the film’s chilling atmosphere. The images have since racked up tens of thousands of likes, as fans praise the blend of horror nostalgia and everyday ritual.
Julie James Fan Art Continues To Flourish
Hewitt’s appreciation of fan creativity isn’t new. Earlier this year, artist Brittany Rivera—better known online as @smalltown_weirdo—presented the actress with a custom Julie James tee during a Good Morning America segment promoting I Know What You Did Last Summer’s upcoming anniversary. Hewitt donned the shirt live on air, captioning her own social post: “Oh it’s only the Icon Jennifer Love Hewitt rocking her new Julie James Tee I made for her… no big deal.” The collaboration led to a limited-edition run of tees sold through Rivera’s site.

These artistic homages underscore the enduring appeal of Hewitt’s early career breakthrough. From conventions to coffee shops, fans continue to celebrate Detective Julie James through paintings, sculptures, and now foam art at their favorite java joints.
A Role That Resonates Across Generations
From her breakout in I Know What You Did Last Summer to starring turns in Ghost Whisperer and 9-1-1, Hewitt has built a reputation for blending charm with resilience. Her willingness to engage with fan projects—whether wearing bespoke merchandise or tipping her hat to a latte portrait—reinforces her status as a fan-friendly star.
As Bourque’s coffee cups fly off the shelves at Horror Vibes Coffee locations nationwide, Hewitt’s post reminds followers of the power of creative homage. She closed her caption with a simple call to action: “What are you waiting for?!” Clearly, next-level latte art awaits anyone brave enough to face the chills—and the caffeine—of a Friday the 13th coffee run.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Julie James or just in it for the perfect foam, Hewitt’s latest shout-out bridges horror fandom and coffee culture in one delicious tribute. Keep your eyes peeled for more fan art collaborations—this could be just the beginning of Brewed to Scream Series.
Jennifer Love Hewitt’s blend of gratitude and nostalgia has made this Friday the 13th a memorable one for horror buffs and coffee lovers alike. As latte art continues to evolve, her post stands as proof that great characters—and great coffee—never go out of style.
