Welcome back for day seven of Daily Dead’s 2013 Holiday Gift Guide! With the holiday season already in full swing, we decided for this week, we’d go ahead and give you guys two super-sized guides for Wednesday and Friday just to make it a little more streamlined as we wrap up our coverage of some of the very best gift ideas we could find, perfect for all the horror and sci-fi fans out there.
For our second-to-last gift guide, we’ve got tons of awesome gift ideas- a Blu-ray celebrating many of the greatest “B Movies” ever created, a t-shirt company that pretty much makes a shirt for any horror movie you could ever think of (seriously, try stumping them), a couple of pajama sets (Walking Dead fans, there’s some footie ones here you MUST see!), some fun purses, ornaments and more.
Check out today’s super-sized edition below and be sure to check back on Friday for Daily Dead’s final gift guide as we’ve got a great selection of items you’ll definitely want to check out.
Movies: First up is this great Blu-ray that a friend recently gave me called Attack of the B’s: The Ultimate Collection. I grew up on Roger Corman’s films like Bucket of Blood and The Little Shop of Horrors and a slew of other cult classics (like I Bury the Living which is also included here) so this Blu-ray was an awesome way to revisit some of my favorites all and get familiar with a bunch of others all in one place. Perfect gift for any cult classic fan. Buy it HERE.
Books: For today’s book selection, I’ve actually gone with two separate books, or compendiums rather- “The Sandman Omnibus Volumes 1 & 2” which were released earlier this year from Vertigo. Pretty much my favorite graphic novel series, I was thrilled to see these stunning sets unveiled a few months ago and from what I’ve heard, they don’t disappoint either in terms of quality and attention to detail.
Considering it looks like “Sandman” is going to finally be adapted soon, the timing has never been better to either revisit Neil Gaiman’s landmark series or discover it for the very first time (I’d offer a money back guarantee if I could- it’s THAT great). Right now Volume One is on sale for under $100 on Amazon and “The Sandman Omnibus Volume Two” is running about a dollar cheaper than the first set, also on Amazon (retail price on each volume is usually $150).
Apparel: First up for apparel is this fun UK-based site I recently discovered called The Rabbit in Red Lounge which features an amazing collection of t-shirts that pretty much has any possible genre shirt you could ever want or imagine, regardless of how obscure the title. They also age each shirt to give them a vintage feel which makes each shirt wholly unique which is kind of cool. Seriously, you can spend hours looking at all the different types of shirts they have. Check out the full selection HERE.
The next item we have are these really fun Zombie Pajamas I found on ThinkGeek. They’re flannel and totally wacky and as the site states, they make for perfect camouflage during the apocalypse. Really, what more could want from your pajamas than apocalyptic camouflage, right? Buy them HERE.
Speaking of pajamas, I also discovered these really fun Walking Dead themed footie pajamas last week that would be the perfect gift for any “walker” fans you happen to know and are stumped on a gift for. Check them out HERE.
Lastly, ThinkGeek also had these really cool Doctor Who slippers that are even on sale now for only $15 which makes them an excellent stocking stuffer for anyone who has ever wanted to stick their feet inside a TARDIS. While they may not transport you through time, they’ll definitely keep your toes cozy this winter. Check them out HERE.
Accessories: I picked out today’s accessory choices while keeping the horror-loving ladies in mind. I’m a sucker for horror purses (Loungefly being a company I regularly go crazy over) and found two really different clutches that I thought all you gals (or significant others) out there might want to check out.
First up is this Frankenstein Clutch from Sourpuss, which I just totally fell in love with (I’m a sucker for the big lug as a whole, but this purse is a new level of cute). The design is bold and cartoonish without feeling like it’s meant for kids either and I think it would be a perfect gift for that special gal in your life. Check it out more HERE.
Next is this badass Meat Cleaver Clutch which prompted me to begin coming up with a few “dangerous fashion” puns, but all I’ll say is that this design is truly inspired. I love how it’s kitschy without looking silly and I think all you gore-loving gals out there would agree. You can buy it HERE.
Collectibles: We’re kicking off today’s collectibles selections with this delightfully ghoulish Zombie Garden Gnome that makes for a perfect gift for zombie lovers, gardening lovers or even gnome lovers (yeah, they’re out there) as well. I picked this guy up as a gift this year and thought he was too fun not to share. Buy the Zombie Garden Gnome HERE.
Because I also like to do what I can to support the independent artists out there, I spent a lot of time on Etsy in the last few weeks finding some fun horror-themed Christmas items including these pretty blood-spattered ornaments. The ornaments were reasonably priced and I thought they would look great on any tree. You can find out more on them and the artist behind the ornaments HERE.
Another ornament I came across on Etsy was this personalized Rocky Horror Picture Show ornament that I thought was really fun, being a fan myself and all. Featuring the iconic lips and Tim Curry’s equally iconic character, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, you can order the Rocky Horror ornament right HERE.
Because I have such a soft spot for RHPS, I also happened to find this awesome Frank-N-Furter “Celebriduck” while shopping on Amazon a few weeks back and thought it would also be a fun stocking stuffer item for any Rocky Horror fans out there. Seriously- who can resist Tim Curry in rubber duck form? Buy it HERE.
