Black Friday: What an appropriate name. And it’s even more relevant when you’re shopping for that haunt fanatic in your life–even if that haunt fanatic is yourself. Scare Zone has been gathering gift ideas, and we present a few of them here.
Apparel
Creepy Tees: Creepy Tees is having a Black Friday sale–$9.99 for any shirt in stock!

The sale is for 24 hours only, so be sure to log on Friday!
Fright Rags is giving 25% off all t-shirts for 24 hours only on Friday, November 26. The sale begins at 12 am EST.

Video Games
Recently, AskMen.com ranked the top 10 scariest video games. Ranking at the very top were the following:
1. Dead Space
Scary moment: Take your pick. The ghastly operating room scene, the first time you encounter a Necromorph or… the ending.
2. Resident Evil 4
Scary moment: Try the Bella Sisters, meeting El Lago up close or shooting a hissing and creeping Regenerator in vain.
3. Left 4 Dead
Scary moment: When you hear the Witch weeping nearby and you have your light on, or the anticipation of calling for rescue, knowing “they’re coming to get you, Barbara.”
Check out the article for the rest of the list. All games are available on Amazon.com or other stores in various formats.
Books

2. So You Want to Be a Haunt Entrepreneur: Have you ever been walking through a haunt and thought to yourself, “I could do better than this,” or maybe “If I had my own haunt, I’d…” Well, now there’s a book to help your haunt dreams come true. This book will guide you through the steps of opening up your own commercial haunted attraction. $24.95
eBay
You can check out eBay for some rare (or not so rare) items from your favorite haunts:
2010 HHN Orlando Media Kit: A starting bid of $240 seems a little steep for this (especially since the seller surely got it for free), but you get a bloody box, a bloody rag, a branding iron with the HHN logo, plus the press release and a photo of a really ugly guy (goes by the name of “Fear).
eBay also has some HHN shirts, pins, park maps, and even a set of Coke cans with HHN coupons on them (really? would anyone actually buy these?).
Other Awesome Online Stores
HalloweenTown.com: This site includes t-shirts, home decor, vintage Halloween items, and much more. The physical store is located in Burbank, California, and if you’re in the area, we highly recommend you check it out.
GoreyDetails.com: Great selection of gothic and literary themed items, including Edward Gorey (of course), Tim Burton, Alice in Wonderland, and Michael Sowa items, such as shirts, jewelry, coffee mugs, prints, nightlights, and much more.
