Dread’s Gift Guide: Ugly Xmas Sweaters

|
Many years ago, the party of the season was always an ugly Christmas sweater party: a chance for people to put on the ugliest, most tinsel-covered, puffy, light-up sweaters, and marvel at what company would actually create these monstrosities – and wonder at the poor souls who wore these sweaters without irony.
Nowadays, “ugly Christmas sweaters” are more of a descriptor without meaning. The “ugly” part now usually refers to something that is not traditionally Christmasy – a TV show or sporting team, but all done in that Christmas fair isle style. We have dug out some of the most horror-ific ugly Christmas sweaters to give… or keep for yourself.
Krampus sweater
It’s not evil Christmas without a Krampus sweater! The anti-Santa has played a part in horror Christmas for years. Let his abduction of naughty children be a warning to all the kids in your life.
The Walking Dead sweater
$54.95 at ShopTheWalkingDead.com
This sweater represents all the most important parts about the current season of The Walking Dead: Alpha, Beta, katanas, crossbows, and of course, zombies. Bonus: the unnecessarily large logo makes this sweater extra ugly.
Witchy Christmas Sweater
The scary cats, number 13s, pentagrams, and inverted crosses will give your conservative aunt something to talk about over Christmas dinner.
Reindeer Games sweater
It’s got a Jason Voorhees mask and bloody machetes on it… but the mask has reindeer antlers, so that makes this a Christmas sweater.
Nightmare Before Christmas sweater
What’s this? What’s this? A sweater devoted to everyone’s favorite Halloween/Christmas movie.
3D Plush Shark sweater
$54.99 at UglyChristmasSweater.com
The name of the website is UglyChristmasSweater.com and this sweater does not disappoint. A plush shark is literally jumping out the wearer’s chest. The only thing missing is blood. Add a little for the perfect, festive sweater.
Classic Horror Monsters sweater
Featuring Frankenstein’s monster, witches, vampires, and black cats, this sweater is perfect for any event, any time of year.
Killer Snowman Sweater
It was bound to happen at some point: Frosty would go bonkers and start killing the other snowmen. This sweater documents that incident in all its yarny glory.
The Twilight Zone sweater
This classic, non-violent sweater is something even Grandma can enjoy. In addition to The Twilight Zone logo, it includes images from iconic episodes: “Eye of the Beholder,” “The Invaders,” “To Serve Man,” and “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet,” just to name a few.
Gremlins Sweater
No one can accuse you of not wearing a Christmas sweater with this Gremlin knit. After all, Gremlins is a Christmas movie.
