Frightening Gifts for Valentine’s Day
Now that you know what movies to watch for Valentine’s Day, how about what you should buy for that special horror-lover in your life? Look no further. Here are just a few of the twisted and beautiful things available to show someone just how much you love them.
1. The Human Face Candle
This hand-cast candle is made using several layers of eco soy wax, and can even be ordered with lipstick the color of your choice. The 2.3 inch tall candle will cost you about $18, and comes as either a “Disgusted” candle (with the grimace you see above), a “Happy” candle, or a candle with ears. You can also choose from a variety of scents. Be warned, since the item is in high demand, it could take the creator up to 4 weeks to deliver your candle. I know, it would be too late for Valentine’s, but I’d certainly be willing to wait for this little guy!
Price: $18
2. Zombie Foot Dog Toy
This dog toy by Gama-Go is perfect for the zombie/pet-lover in your life. And, what better visual for your neighbors than to see your dog running around the yard with a decaying foot? Fun for the whole family.
Price: $9.80
Speaking of zombie feet…
3. Zombie Feet/Zombie Plush Slippers
Here are two options if you have ever wanted to slip your feet into some dead flesh. I know I have. The Zombie Feet are made with latex, with a foam footbed. They measure 11.5 inches, and only come in one size.
Price: $20.95.
If you would prefer something more suited for around the house, try Think Geek’s Zombie Plush Slippers. These cartoonish zombies will chew your foot right to the ankle, all while keeping your toes nice and warm within the confines of their mushy, decayed brains.
Price: $12.35. Buy them here!
5. Denture Compact
Okay fellas, we know our ladies like to look good, and to do so, they need to be able to see themselves. That’s where this little gem comes in. This two-mirror compact is hand-made from polished dental acrylic, and will cost you $100. The artist also offers other lovely denture-inspired items for the denta-phile (I have no idea if that is even a word…). Because, let’s face it? What is more terrifying than teeth?
Price: $100
5. Friday the 13th Slotted Spoon
This is another unique, hand-made item. These spoons are made from old silverware, and can come with or without the red paint on the mask. For an additional $10, you can get a wooden plaque to display your spoon.
Price: $36.99
6. Skull Chair
Have you ever wanted to be consumed by a large plush skull? Who hasn’t?? Now you can. This item is also hand-crafted from polyester thread, an inflatable exercise ball (for the skull), a metal frame (for the jaw articulation), and a water filled base (to keep you from scooting all over the place). The detail in the skull coloring is actually from hand-stitching, rather than a printed design. The chair can be used to sit in, or by closing the jaw, it can be a beautiful decoration piece. Though it is expensive, this is a wonderful item for the hard-core collector out there.
Price: $420.
There you have it, a few unusual items you can get for the horror fan in your life. Sure, you get one of those horror mash-up tee shirts that are all the rage now. You know the ones I mean, like Freddy dressed as Edward Scissorhands, or Jason Voorhees as a member of The Mighty Ducks. No. Don’t do that. Don’t be one of those guys. Be daring, and be original. Get a large plush skull chair to sit in. That’s romantic.

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
