The Christmas Gift Guide for Horror Fans

Christmas Gift Shopping for Horror Fans 2008

This Christmas gift guide will help anyone who's trying to find a gift for a horror fan. I've listed fun toys, books, DVDs, slippers, and more.

I start the list off with fun Christmas-themed horror items, including headless Gingerbread Men cookie cutters and a Nightmare Before Christmas "Christmas Countdown" wall hang. I also list some of the better Christmas horror movies. Next are some cozy plush slippers to keep your giftee's feet warm. Then there are mugs, perfect for serving hot chocolate in.

After the holiday items, I split the list up by interested, so if your giftee likes Aliens (sci-fi), Asian horror, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, vampires, or zombies, you can quickly find items they'll be interested in.

Finally, I have categories of types of items: 2009 calendars, books, iPod and iPhone skins, plush toys, and stationery and blank books. I re-list some of the items that were in the Interests section, that way you can easily locate gift ideas without having to scan the entire list.

Are you looking for horror DVD and video game new releases? Try the Surprise Horror Fans with Gifts They'll Love this Christmas gift guide. There you'll find something for every horror fan.

About the books: I only list books that were released within the last two years. Why list old books most horror fans already own? I chose fun books for this gift guide. Most of them contain illustrations.
