1. Spooky Signage by Custom Neon

One of the best ways to make a statement with your home décor is with a neon sign, and Custom Neon offers a wide selection. The company has an assortment of Halloween-themed signage that’ll make any room glow with spooky energy. Designs include bats, Jack O’Lanterns, skulls, and slogans like, “Stay Spooky!”  Plus, compared to traditional neon signs, their LED neon products are safer, easier to maintain, and more cost-friendly. It makes for the ideal gothmas gift.

2. Oddities by Ave Rose

Ave Rose is an amazing artist who’s produced all sorts of fantastic creations. I happen to own an exquisite neck piece featuring a vial with a black widow. You won’t find pieces like hers anywhere else, so that’s an added bonus when you’re looking for something truly one-of-a-kind. On her website, you can browse an array of jewelry, books, prints, and a few other specialty items. If you’re in or near the Los Angeles area, I suggest visiting her newly opened shop at The Wunderkammer at the Port of LA in San Pedro, California. You’ll likely be able to see more products that aren’t available in her online store.

3. Enticing Art Prints by Pineapple Prince

I first discovered Pineapple Prince when I attended the Witches Brew Valloween Night Market earlier this year. The vibrant, spooky art at this booth caught my attention. I love collecting art prints, so I purchased “Queen Akasha” inspired by Queen of the Damned and “Black Leather” inspired by Dita Von Teese. Artist Michael Piña uses acrylic, oils, and digital paint to create his illustrations, which draw from pop culture. You’ll find plenty of macabre characters, such as Vampira, Wednesday, Chucky, and many other horror icons. His prints are great if you know someone who has an appreciation for dark art. From what I can tell, it looks like items are available to ship anywhere within the U.S.    

4. Spine Cloak by Midnight Hour

Do you have a goth fashionista in your life? Then, head over to Midnight Hour for a closer look at this killer Spine Cloak. It’s one the brand’s best sellers and emits absolute voodoo vibes. It also reminds me of something Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo would wear. Besides the spine detailing on the back, it also has a crescent moon and rose embroidery on the front. While you’re on the website, you can peruse many other collections the shop features. They ship in the U.S. and worldwide.

5. John Carpenter’s Tales for a HalloweeNight by Storm King Comics

Storm King Comics is headed by writer and film producer Sandy King and her husband John Carpenter, the director who brought us the iconic horror movie Halloween (1978). Tales for a HalloweeNight is a graphic novel series containing a variety of spine-tingling tales by various authors. Sandy King and John Carpenter also contribute one story in every issue. Thus far, there are 11 volumes, and you can buy signed and unsigned copies.

6. Gothic Bedding & Décor by Sin in Linen

The person you’re shopping for will have pleasant dreams with gothic bedding by Sin in Linen. Founder Sandy Glaze collaborates with artists to craft the macabre designs on her sheets, covers, duvets, blankets, and pillowcases. Her sets come in deep shades of violet, crimson, emerald, and more, and have a very Victorian style. The brand’s collections are sure to make any boudoir magical.

7. Silent Hill f Video Game by Konami

Silent Hill f is ideal for gamers who are horror fanatics. The video game by Konami just released this past fall. The main character is a teen named Shimizu Hinako who finds the world she lives in suddenly morphing into something eerie. The game delves into psychological horror and has received praise so far from many players. Unfortunately, I’m not particularly good at playing video games so I haven’t experienced it for myself, but the trailer looks amazing. And, some critics have considered it the darkest game in the series. Fans of the Silent Hill franchise will appreciate getting this in their holiday stocking.

8. Gothic Horror Story Mugs by The Witchery Arts

Who doesn’t appreciate a fun, spooky mug? Todd Atteberry is the man behind the website Witchery Arts. In addition to his blog, which contains a range of gothic horror stories and articles about uncanny subject matter, he also has an online store where he offers macabre merchandise. The collection of gothic mugs have designs inspired by Poe, Dickens, Irving, and Memento Mori. Enjoy sipping steaming hot tea, coffee, or cocoa. Personally, I’ve purchased a shirt with a quote from Dracula from his Wyrd and Wanton Wear line. The quality of the fabric and design were excellent.

9. Gothmas Duo Beauty Gift Set by Black Moon Cosmetics

Black Moon Cosmetics caters to those who appreciate dark beauty.  The limited-edition Gothmas Duo Beauty Gift Set contains a full size of two of their most popular lip colors. Armageddon is a blackened metallic red while Myth is a blackened emerald green. An added bonus is the brand’s products are vegan and cruelty-free and crafted using the finest ingredients.

10. Vampire Memorabilia by The Glass Coffin

I’ve been following The Glass Coffin on social media for years because of their devotion to all things vampiric. There used to be a brick and mortar in Austin, Texas, but that location closed a while back. However, you can still shop online. The Vampire Memorabilia section has rare, hard-to find specialty items. Many are out of print. Some items featured include a Queen of the Damned Press Kit & VHS, Anne Rice Birth of the Vampire Set, and Bram Stoker’s Dracula Movie Hardcover Book, to name a few.
