If you’re wondering what this eighties rock legend is doing on here, any fan of American Horror Story will tell you the reason.  AHS: 1984 included many references to Idol.  He was going to be the headliner to the festival that Trevor managed to stop from happening as well.  If your horror fan is a fan of the eighties as well as AHS, you cannot go wrong getting them this Billy Idol Pop! figure this Christmas.  Make Trevor and Montana proud!  With a “Rebel Yell,” you can purchase the Billy Idol vinyl figure here.

Horror Fan Holiday Guide – Horror Icon Artwork

Every horror fan needs some artwork on their wall.  Why not give them the beginning of horror with Nosferatu to the reemergence with the Saw films?  Any fan of horror films throughout the years will appreciate this art piece.  The glimpses of these famous faces will look amazing flush-mounted to the wall of a fan’s home.  This one is a bit pricier than some of the other items on the list.  With that said, I suggest going without no frame for the flush-mounted effect.  This ranges from $29.95 – $59.95.  If you want to go framed though the price jumps up to $89.95 – $159.95.  The sizes range from small to x-large though giving you some options this holiday season.  There are also other horror prints to choose from here. You can purchase the print above here.

For months I have had many friends link me to the second charm bracelet.  In the least, I can honestly say that your friend will be flattered you thought of them with this gift.  I know I have been with each link.  Each bracelet includes six different charms from infamous horror villains through the decades.  The biggest difference between the two bracelets is the colors of the first one and a more traditional charm bracelet look with the second.  Either is a great option and can be purchased here.

This is by far one of the coolest things I’ve found!  A classic VHS made into a lamp.  The Halloween lamp above is by far one of my favorites from the NancyJars Etsy account.  However, she has many other options that any horror fan would be proud to own here.  Some are even cheaper than the one above but does not have as much detail to them like this one.  The artwork is always a great way to go and the bonus is you are supporting an artist in their venture.  You can purchase the Mike Myers Knife Detail Night Light here.

Horror Fan Holiday Guide – The Art of Horror Book

Though a lot of people do not think of horror and think art, many horror films are strikingly beautiful.  Many scenes throughout the years have made horror fans sit in awe not merely for the gore.  This book touches on early engravings, comics, movie posters, and more for a horror fan to sit and explore.  The book is divided into ten themed chapters including images of vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, and more.  You can purchase The Art of Horror here.

Horror Fan Holiday Guide – Shudder Subscription

I recently subscribed to Shudder merely for Creepshow.  However, I spent about an hour browsing the collections and films.  There are so many horror films I have not seen on there it truly is amazing.  In all reality, it’s a horror lover’s dream and I’m unsure why it took me so long to subscribe now that I have it.  For a whole year, you can give them the subscription for $56.99!  This comes out to $4.75 a month.  You can gift a Shudder subscription to a friend or family member here.
