This “home for melanated misfits” is run by Lucy who has been killing it since 2016 with a brand described as “graphic-goth”. This store has comfy, cool, collectibles for really low prices. The aesthetic is unmistakable and deserves to be part of an edgy Fashion Week for horror nerds.
Scarlet & Graves Clothing

This alternative brand is making awesome-looking clothing at very affordable rates. Most of the t-shirts are under $12 which is the perfect excuse to buy a ton of them. The artwork is a mix of horror, heavy metal, goth, grunge, and glam aesthetics. Open your wallets.
Sew Strange

Website: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SewStrangeConjurings
This Etsy store is coming for your hearts and wallets. Cassandra has a fun blend of random items you don’t know you need until you see them. Goosebumps pins, Pinhead pin cushions, and Serial Mom lighter holders are all handmade and ready for the buying.
Tales From The Stitch

Website: https://www.talesfromthestitch.com/
Tales From The Stitch specializes in cute crochet versions of our favorite horror baddies. You don’t understand how cool this art form is until you see a Candyman or Malignant’s Gabriel and yell “aww” as you check your credit card balance. All of these designs are handmade and make me wish I had a talent.
VonKreepArt

Website: https://www.etsy.com/shop/VonKreepArt
If you’ve been wanting some edgy jewelry then this is the place! You can pick up a choker, a crown, spiked chains, but also earrings that are dark but fun and whimsical. Because everything is so affordable it often sells out fast. So if you see something you like you better hurry.
Wickedland

Website: https://wickedland.storenvy.com/
Wickland Jewelry has so many wicked little things that make my heart happy. This handmade jewelry is for “those who have fallen through the Looking Glass.’ This is a ton of us seeing as so much of it keeps selling out. Get you a cute and creepy bracelet while you keep an eye out for some of the collections to come back in stock.
So glad we could introduce you to some of our favorite Black-owned online horror shops. The beautiful thing about these stores is you can support them all year long. They keep new inventory coming in, which means something will catch your eye sooner or later. Be sure to take them on the socials when you buy their merch.
Let me know if you found your new favorite Black-owned Horror shop on this list at @Misssharai.
