Horror Decor: I’ve been a big fan of Horror Decor for a long time now and they are always a site I visit for some fun, unique gift ideas each and every year. Once again, they’ll be hosting a Black Friday sale where they will be marking down a selection of items and for all orders that are $15 or more, you’ll receive a free “Christmas Slasher” drink koozie that would be a perfect addition in any horror fan's stocking.

Cavitycolors: There are always a lot of reasons to check out Cavitycolors’ Black Friday sale, but one thing that always catches my eye when it comes to their annual BF sale is the return of a limited amount of their “Buy or Die” stock because so many of those designs often slip past me throughout the year. CC is also offering a ton of discounts and some new frighteningly festive gear that would make for great gifts for the horror fan in your life (or maybe you want to spoil yourself).
