Happy Holiday Season, dear readers! Somehow, we’ve made it this far into 2020, which means we only have a handful of weeks left to this crummy year, which is something I think most of us are thankful for heading into the Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow. And because we are officially into the holiday season now, that means it’s also time to do some shopping, whether it’s gifts for yourself or for others. In any case, I’m someone who has always appreciated a good bargain and loves to save money wherever I can, and I think for most of us this year, we’re all looking to pinch those pennies wherever we can.
So, as usual, we’re kicking off Daily Dead’s 8th Annual Holiday Gift Guide with an initial batch of Black Friday sales that horror fans are going to want to check out over the next few days. Some sales are already underway, and others will be launching throughout the rest of this holiday week. Check out the details on some of the excellent Black Friday deals below and be sure to head back here on Friday for more sales as well.
