Get a guy an extra-large black Friday the 13th t-shirt, and you’re good to go. But when it comes to women, well… they’re a little more discerning. If trying to figure out what to get the horror-loving lady in your life for the holidays has you wanting to hide in the nearest dark basement, never fear! Dread Central is here with 10 hand-picked gifts!
1) Sugar Pill Pretty Poison Lipsticks
These Black Edition Pretty Poison lipsticks are sure to earn a kiss… maybe more. These lipsticks are not your cheap mall Goth stuff. They are true matte, ultra-pigmented, and super long-lasting. The creamy, mousse-like formula never feels dry, and better yet: They’re creamsicle scented. The whole collection includes Shiver, Anti-Socialite, Darksided, and Zero. ($65)
2) Hellraiser Grinder Box for Herbs, Lavender, or Cinnamon
Such fertile ground for the seeds of torment! Here’s a cool gift for the spicy lady in your life. These handmade boxes are available on Etsy through Pyroteeze, and they are 100% handmade—carved and painted by the artist, each one is wholly unique. ($44)
3) Year of Fear Calendar
With separate calendars featuring male and female pinups, you’re sure to please with this awesome item that’s like getting a new present every month. Photos are by the talented and twisted Ama Lea, and each picture is impeccably—oh, and lots of pecs, too—styled for maximum heart palpitations. These bad boys are selling out fast, so grab one before 2018 is here. ($20)
4) Rosemary’s Baby Pendant
Nothing says “I love you… and you’re a witch” like an authentic Rosemary’s Baby-inspired tannis root necklace! Guaranteed not to smell foul or aid in the gestational period of the Antichrist. This handmade replica is available for special order on Etsy through PitandPendulumStudio. ($26.99)
5) Elvira Couture for Every Body
Yes, The Mistress of the Dark has her own special string of creepy couture! It’s sold through Pin-up Girl Clothing, and guess what? The line is not limited to just one slinky, low-cut black gown. There are tons of different dresses and skirts—plus accessories and more. Pictured is the scarily seductive Ponte De Roma. ($178)
6) Paper Dandy’s Horrorgami
Is the female horror fan in your life crafty? With Horrorgami, she can display the carnage amongst her holiday décor with standup scenes from the most iconic monstrous moments from film and literature. Easy to use: Simply gather a scalpel, cutting mat, ruler, and this awesomely horrific book; and she’ll be ready to create some killer kirigami. ($16.95)
7) La Calavera Christmas Ornament
Crafted of hand-painted glass, this dios de la muerte inspired bauble is designed by “Ornament King” Christopher Radko for Nieman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue and other high-end department stores. His creations have become collectors’ items, favored gifts, and keepsakes among those who give and receive them. ($49)
8) True Blood Books Box Set
Has she worn out her True Blood Blu-rays? Well, maybe it’s time to go back to the source. The Southern Vampire Mysteries, also known as The Sookie Stackhouse Novels, is a series of paranormal romantic thrillers written by bestselling author Charlaine Harris, and they were the springboard for the wildly popular—and super sexy—HBO series.
9) Humorous Horror Prints
Is she a horror film fanatic and a crazy cat lady? Boom! You’ve got her covered with these hilarious and ridiculously adorable prints of original art in the Stupid Animals Etsy Shop. Artist kAt Philbin is offering Krampus with Kitties, Friday the Purrteenth, Rocky Hairball Picture Show, Texas Chainsaw Meowssacre, and many more. ($15)
10) Love Never Dies: Original Horror Artwork
I can’t finish this list without a shout-out to my favorite artist of all time, Aaron Kai (who just happens to be my boyfriend—and he gives great gifts!). His horror-related paintings and prints aren’t all creepy and gross… yeah, I know there are some women who don’t mind that stuff, but I prefer beautiful horror. His painting of Bram Stoker’s Dracula Love Never Dies montage is gorgeous. Another romantic gift idea is his set of The Bride and The Monster. These limited editions are signed and numbered. ($125)
