Five Killer Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Published

on

We are just a few weeks before the annual celebration of the literal Mo-Fo who caused your being in this world.  If you have a rad Dad that gave you your horror head here are five treats to think about bestowing upon the man.

Nothing says you love your Father more than giving him Astron-6’s Father’s Day on DVD or Blu-ray.  You’ve heard of a MILF now add DILF to your vocabulary as the Father’s Day killer is on the prowl but only for Dads.  As well as killing your old man The Fuchman will rape him before sending him on his way.  Bonus points if you make hot dogs & sit down for a screening together.

Speaking of cooking for your Pops, go haute cuisine & put yourself in the dining seat of Hannibal Lecter himself!  Firebox will send you a box of ingredients to recreate the iconic Anthony Hopkins meal mention from Silence Of the Lambs.  Maybe next year you could use you brain to think of something else or make a meal moment from the sequel?

Why not do some good and let your daddy get on down with a part in a movie!  Sky Sharks‘ Kickstarter are offering numerous roles including being part of a beach party scene complete with nudity or the chance to be killed by a Nazi zombie and then fed to a shark.

Gary Pull

He was the bastard son of 100 maniacs but damn he would look hot on the wall of your Dad’s office.  Ghoulish Gary Pullen’s Mondo A Nightmare on Elm Street print is selling fast so 1, 2, get Freddy delivered to you in time for Father’s Day.  If he doesn’t like it maybe put it somewhere you can admire and think how much of a dream your life is compared to if you had been raised by Mr. K instead.

Graham Hump Book

No space on your walls for all the blood or more of a coffee table book person ?  Look no further than legendary genre artisan Graham Humphreys’ ultimate tome ‘Drawing Blood’.  It’s full to the brim with amazing art & looks heavy enough to be used as a potential weapon should you fall victim of a home invasion scenario.

Champion of the Horror Art genre, Humphreys’ most celebrated works include publicity material for films including Dream Demon, Basket Case, The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, the Nightmare on Elm Street series, Phenomena and Santa Sangre. Now working with The Creative Partnership and Tartan Films, Humphreys’ has continued to celebrate and inspire the creation of film posters including Life is Sweet, Erik the Viking, From Dusk Till Dawn, House of 1000 Corpses and Party Monster.

This luxury collector book, limited to 500 copies, will contain 120 of his extraordinary illustrations and is scheduled to hit the shelves in time for Halloween 2015. The book will be beautifully presented in a Clothbound Clamshell Case and will include a signed and numbered print exclusive to the book. This is the quintessential art book for the horrorcore aficionado.
