Best Father’s Day Gifts for Dads Who Love Horror Movies

Father’s Day is arriving in June, and for any horror patriarchs in the family, it’s been a good year so far. The domination of Sinners at the box office has had no problem sharing the spotlight with other horror flicks coming into the fold, with Final Destination: Bloodlines bringing back a beloved 2000’s-era horror and becoming the biggest opening weekend for the franchise. Along with the latest Scream film arriving theaters later this year, dads have plenty left in the year to get their horror movie fix from.

As we get closer to dear old dad’s day, let’s take a look at some horror-themed gifts, from a variety of shirts and apparel to all sorts of collectors items to make his heart rate jump with love, appreciation, and maybe a laugh and fright or two.

Horror Tees

Horror Icon Tarot Card Tees

Give something more to Dad than the standard fare of horror movie shirts. These horror tarot card tees are made from 100% cotton and are bursting with color and iconic designs, from Universal’s famed monster’s like Dracula and Frankenstein to Halloween incarnate himself Michael Myers.

Button Down Horror Shirts

June brings summer along with Father’s Day, and dad could use a fit that shows his horror fandom off while keeping cool in the heat. These slim fit short sleeve shirts feature an all-over still frame pattern with different styles. The Elm Street shirt has a collage of various film stills from the first film, the Friday the 13th design features a blood splattered graphic with Jason Voorhees masks decorating the shirt, and the Pennywise shirt features a colorful smattering of the town of Derry, the abandoned house on Neibolt Street, the Loser’s Club, and Pennywise the Dancing Clown himself.

Oversized Head Graphic Tees

Bigger brain, better person. Just tell dad that as you gift him one of these large head graphic print horror tees. These shirts mean business, with limited edition styles and prints, like the Frankenstein oversized print with the lighting striking off into the sleeves, or the wild skull and crossbones look on a They Live tee (which would pair excellently with some shades on). Fans of newer underground horror flicks will also enjoy this Screamboat tee, with the mouse Disney no longer holds the rights to gracing this shirt with bloody brilliance.

Funny Horror Tees

Everyone (well, maybe not everyone) loves a good dad joke, including dads themselves. And sometimes dads just love having that irreverent humor displayed for all to enjoy or roll their eyes at. These horror tees get a little cheeky while still scratching that itch for every horror fanatic dad. Officially merchandised Halloween tees of Michael Myers like the blunt and straightforward Party Crasher or the Hide and Seek Champ since 1978 are classic horror humor, and the Captain Spaulding is a can’t miss collector’s item for any Rob Zombie fan to get right to dad’s funny bone.

Vintage Graphic Tees

These tees are for the fans of the old school graphic tees from the 90’s, and maybe the movies from then as well! Pair one of these shirts, like the Ghostface Slasher tee (itself a franchise that started in the 90’s), Michael Myers collage shirt, or the intense large print Frankenstein shirt with your best jewelry, hat, and shoes, and you’ll be set for any horror occasion in classic vintage style.

The Texas Chainsaw Masscare Tees

One of the most celebrated horror films of all time, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a horror staple, and its merch makes for some perfect horror swag. Choose from various sizes for something like the vintage style poster tee, or go for a modern look with the Texas Chainsaw shirt with its back graphic. Only other thing you might want to gift dad in addition to these shirts is a Texas Chainsaw Massacre mask to go with it! Just make him promise not to wear it to dinner.

Gifts

Jurassic Park Gifts

Jurassic Park may venture closer towards science fiction & action adventure, but its horror elements can’t be denied for all the scary scenes in the franchise. From the T-Rex trying to get into the jeeps, or the velociraptors in the kitchen with the kids, there’s plenty in this franchise to raise the hairs on the back of your neck. But getting something a little more pint sized for dad would certainly get a chuckle out of him, like the Dinosaur Bottle Opener, Toilet Paper Rack, and the Garden Gnome display to make even a certified paleontologist giggle.

Funny Travel Gifts

These make great gifts (or tricks) to give dad, and especially to pack with you for a trip. Bring along a Jaws shark blanket on your next beach day, or give dad a jump on his next visit to the hotel bathroom with the Rising Toilet Monster prank gift. And a true horror fan will see the Car Full of Bees Sunshade and get the reference to the iconic Nicholas Cage line from the ill-fated remake of The Wicker Man.

Candles

Candles are always a solid gift for moms, but who’s to say dads can’t get a candle too? These candles are perfect for the horror dads of the world, like the Bleeding Hand Candle (no burning flesh scent, don’t worry) and the Zombie Head Candle that melt and bleed as they burn, making for display piece that never gets old. Alternatively, swap for a Michael Myers candle for a sweet, pumpkin smell to make dad feel like Halloween is just around the corner.

Collectibles

Replica Collector’s Items

For the dad who loves horror like no other, these are the gifts to make a Father’s Day he’ll never forget a reality. The classic Hellraiser configuration box made of solid redwood is a great display item to intrigue and guests, and the Dream Master Freddy Kreuger glove with copper hand guard, stainless steel blades, and leather glove is incredibly detailed you’ll want to never take it off (except maybe when using the bathroom). Along with the officially licensed Bear Trap mask from Saw, made of 100% natural latex, these and many more items are the kinds of gifts horror dads will appreciate for many years to come.

Horror Icon Mini Busts

Made from resin and painted by hand, these horror busts can make for a great display on dad’s desk at the house, or as an addition to his collection of other horror memorabilia. While classic and contemporary horror icons are included here, the newest one to enter the pantheon of horror legends is Art the Clown, as the Terrifier trilogy has quickly become the latest franchise to capture the horror fandom.

Wallets

These officially licensed wallets are excellent gifts to replace dad’s old leather wallet he’s had since high school that’s been falling apart. High quality patent leather, a tri-fold design, snap closure, and enough pockets and folds to keep all dads cards and cash for the next horror movie outing at the drive in.

Socks

Dad’s got some funky flair on his feet this Father’s Day. It’s not always t shirts that show off someone’s love for horror movies. And sometimes you gotta go the extra mile (or foot) to let everyone know you take your beloved slashers seriously. These socks, like the Chucky 2 Poster pair, the Michael Myers All Over print, and the Ghostbusters (for the lighter fare, though with an undeniably sick slime design), are just some of the great novelty socks available to keep dad’s toes cozy for any horror movie night at the house.
