It is heading towards the Spooky season, and now is a perfect time to grab some last-minute gifts and merchandise to enhance your haunted house as we enter the time of pumpkin spice and scary nonsense. Let’s take a quick look at some of the things you can trick or treat yourself or give to the little monsters in your life.
Stitch Halloween Candy Bowl
What could be more Halloween than the gaping maw of a beloved Disney cartoon character? The Stitch Halloween Candy Bowl is an oversized ceramic bowl with the lovable Stitch posed as if he’s eaten all the sweeties. It’s a little heavy to carry around, but it’s perfect for displaying with a table full of treats.
The Traitors Card Game
Social deduction games are inherently a little bit spooky, with names such as Werewolf or Blood on the Clock Tower. The Traitors Card Game brings the thrills, spills and paranoia of the hit TV show through the handy use of card-based prompts. It does have interactive elements, so you’ll need a smartphone, but it’s a perfect family-friendly game for the spooky season..
Raven Feature Shoulder Soft Toy
How could anyone say no to their own pet spooky raven? This cool little shoulder-mounted toy can be attached to most costumes thanks to its magnetic plate. Give it a squeeze, and it’ll caw eerily, then do so again when unexpected. It even has glowing eyes. It’s cute enough for everyone and scary in a silly way. Proper Halloween fun.
Ghostbusters Plasma Series Ectomobile (Anniversary Edition)
Who are you going to call? Hasbro, of course, for their limited edition Ghostbusters Ecto-One and accessories. The base set features just Slimer and the library ghost, but the bigger set features a whole team of Ghostbusters and equipment. Hasbro also does a cosplay-quality proton pack, as busting makes you feel good, apparently.
Mickey Mouse Halloween
Sure, all the kids are about Five Nights At Freddy these days, but there’s something haunted about the venerable Mickey Mouse. Dressed in orange, purple, and green for Halloween, the mouse is a fun gift for the youngsters in your life while just being odd enough to add to your Halloween display.
Warmies Halloween Collection
Of course, the other thing about this time of year is that it is very cold, and sometimes, a hot water bottle isn’t the right call. Get warm by being chilled to the bone by Warmies’ adorable spooky ghost (which is actually a microwave-friendly toy that can be warmed up in your ping-oven). They do a whole range, including black cats and pumpkins.
Ideal for Halloween parties or just for your average Goth wanting something different to hold their sandwiches, these plates feature characters from The Haunted Mansion theme park for all your slightly eerie needs.
Warner Bros: Pennywise Cable Guys
Perfect for those times when you’re watching a horror movie on your phone or tablet, Pennywise is one of the many Cable Guys Phone Holders out there. Sort of like Funko Pops, but more useful, these character-filled add a touch of horror to your work desk.
Cadaver
Described as the light-hearted game of raising the dead, this is a quick card game about gathering enough resources to create your own re-animated, Frakenstein-style monster. From Cheatwell Games, the same people who brought us Zombie-Opoly, which is a bit like Monopoly, but with zombies.
Call of Cthullhu Starter Set
Probably one of the best Table Top Roleplaying Game starter sets we’ve ever seen, begin your Halloween hols with some cosmic horror whith the elder god of all horror roleplaying games, Call of Cthullhu. Endlessly copied and parodied, there’s a reason why this game of creeping horror is a solid classic.
Wizkids D&D Mind Flayer Plaque
One for triumphant Baldur’s Gate Three players, this foam rubber and latex bust of a defeated Mindflayer is a perfect centre-piece for your Samhain hinks. Or just as all year-round decoration for your gaming den.
The Thirteenth Floor: Volume 1
For all of those nostalgia fans out there, thrill at this reprint from the pages of 80’s British horror comic, Scream! Before Black Mirror there was MAX, a mad A.I. who loved to punish the wicked with ironic punishments. Weird horror from the past.
The Exorcist III Limited Edition 4K UHD
The Exorcist III is a hellish horror detective story that pairs thoughtful theological themes with scenes of sheer terror. This classic movie, presented in the highest possible quality, is an ideal gift for the ghoul in your life.
Dez Skinn Horror Jigsaw Puzzles
What could be more horrifying than a jigsaw puzzle for Halloween? Dez Skinn (who long-time readers might recognise) has produced a range of wonderfully ghoulish classic horror themed puzzles for the season.
