The majority of the world will begin decorating their homes for Christmas on Friday, November 27th, the day after Thanksgiving. Although we’ve had some great movie titles surrounding this particular holiday – Black Christmas, Silent Night/Deadly Night, Dismembering Christmas and the upcoming Krampus – finding decorations to spruce up your holiday season without the use of The Nightmare Before Christmas memorabilia can be a daunting task. Luckily, decorating time is still four days away and I took to Etsy.com to find a couple items that may put a little extra red into your white Christmas.
First, let’s start with Christmas Tree decorations because that’s the biggest staple in December tradition. You should definitely purchase these Blood Splatter Ornaments from SpookeyMessCreations. They’re a little costly, with each bulb costing $3.00 and coming in sets of two, but they’re well worth the price in helping to make your pine tree look like a murder scene. Also, the owner of the shop is more than willing to give discounts on bulk orders so I encourage you to message them personally. And, you can’t have a breathtaking Christmas tree without the bright lights, so check out these Baby Doll Head Lights from PrimandGrim. Nothing says creepy like toy heads and these lights, which cost only $25 for a strand of 5.5 feet, will add a dash of macabre that is sure to freak out any visitor that goes in your living room.
Speaking of living rooms, there’s two pieces that each living room must be equipped with, whether you have a fire place or not. Get these Horror Christmas Stockings from Horribell. They’re dark and punk and feature knock-off horror films and villains and are much more interesting than the traditional socks of joy. They’re $40.00 and come in sets of three. Now, when Santa… or Krampus… visits your home on Christmas night, make sure to leave him or it cookies on this fantastic Zombie Gingerbread Man Plate from CreepieCorner. It’s $55.00, but as you know – all Christmas decorations are saved in boxes to be used again and again and again, so this dish will last!
Finally, add some extra fright to the rest of your home with these items… Last year’s big icon, Elf on the Shelf, is now deader than crap and has been reanimated as a zombie. Get this Zombie Christmas Elf from RedBessBonneyToo for $15.00 and pull pranks on your visitors all season long. You never know where he’ll pop up next! And don’t forget this simple but nostalgic Silent Night/Deadly Night magnet for your refrigerator, portraying part of the film’s infamous movie poster. Hack away at your credit card for the price of $15 and get this 2.5×3.5 decoration from AncientDruidElders.
I’m aware that most of these decorations are on sale in small quantities, so I’ll be back next with another catalogue of holiday decorations to add a little extra horror to your holiday season.
