Welcome back for another installment of Daily Dead’s fifth annual Holiday Gift Guide, gang! For day six, we’re taking a look at a bunch of toys and games out there that are perfect for all the horror and sci-fi fans out there. And while many of these may be intended for kids, if we’re being honest, I’m guessing most of you adults out there would enjoy receiving a number of these during the holiday season.

One quick note: I recently discovered a brand new product that launches today called Crate Creatures Surprise!, which doesn’t have a ton of information out there about it, so my apologies on a lack of description there. But when I saw the commercial initially, it took me back to the My Pet Monster days, and I feel like the Crate Creatures Surprise! could be the breakout toy of the 2017 holiday season.

Also, Daily Dead has once again put together some really cool Holiday Gift Guide prize packs this year, and for your chance to win one, just send an email to contest@dailydead.com with “Holiday Gift Guide” in the subject line and be sure to include your full name and mailing address as well for your shot at some free horror-tastic goodies (limited to those who are eighteen years of age or older that live in the United States. Only one entry per household will be accepted). Happy shopping, everyone!
