Describe the best horror-related gift you’ve ever received.

Sean T. Collins - Attentiondeficitdisorderly Too Flat

Insofar as reading them was literally a lifechanging experience, the gift I received from my parents of all six of Clive Barker’s Books of Blood paperbacks on Christmas during my sophomore year of high school probably takes the top spot.

Bill Cunningham - DISContent (in more ways than one)

I have never in my life received a horror-related Christmas gift… ever.

Bah humbug!

JA - My New Plaid Pants

I loved the 18-inch Michael Myers figure that my boyfriend got me a couple of years ago so much I played with him until his Stabbing Action! arm snapped right off. Sigh. At least I can still hear Jaime Lee’s whimpers and screams if I push the button on his back! Whimpers & screams = the bright side.

Doug Nagy

Dutch salt candy.

David Z. - Tomb It May Concern

Wow, I can’t pick just one-so a few quick highlights The “Hard Mo Hand” appliance from Hardware is still on my top shelf after a number of years, a friend found a super cool Mattei poster for Violence In A Womens Prison from Spain that I adore, a good buddy of mine snagged me a mint Rats poster and had it signed by Richard Raymond, an awesome set of Franco autographs (the one sheet of Other Side of the Mirror signed by Jess and Lina and some Dracula, Prisoner of Frankenstein lobbies signed by Jess under a bunch of pseudonyms…), a soundtrack for A Virgin Among The Living Dead, an incredible set of original artwork of Yor, Hunter From The Future done by Neil Vokes… the list goes on and on.

My favorite horror related gift is the opportunity to meet and have a blast sharing the movies with a lot of the guys I met in various forums though. It is something I get every day!

Mark - Exclamation Mark’s SciFi/Horror Review

Last year at Christmas, my wife bought me the books Return of the B Science Fiction and Horror Heroes (SciFi and Horror Interviews) by Tom Weaver, and Keep Watching the Skies (American Science Fiction Movies of the Fifties) by Bill Warren. I felt like a kid again!

Tim - Mondo Schlocko

One year my wife gave me a double dose of HG Lewis flicks alongside the SLEEPAWAY CAMP Box Set. That was a great Christmas.

Casey Criswell - Cinema Fromage

Just a couple of weeks ago, my wife gave me an early Christmas present in the form of Grave Robbers From Outer Space. Make your own b-movie plot while playing a card game? It was a natural fit.

Make sure you visit the blogs above for even more terror this holiday season. And hey, show a horror geek you care. Give them something wholly inappropriate and disturbing for the holidays.
