Get your Halloween ghoul on with these Firebox goodies

firebox-logo-largeWe all know that Halloween is about watching the best, and some of the worst, horror movies out there and we’re loving – nay, recommending – some of Firebox‘s best dark and delightful products to make this Halloween even more bloody brilliant.

So you’ve got your Scream trilogy, or stunning Halloween 35th Anniversary steelbook, now you need some extras for the gathering. As we’re talking movies and those moments that might make you, let’s say, scare the crap out of you, you might like this very different loo roll!

This isn’t (just) your every day soft stuff though, oh no, because it’s also a horror story called The Drop written in three separate chapters or for these purposes on three toilet rolls! It’s written by Koji Suzuki, author of the ‘Ring‘ and ‘Spiral‘ series, and so not only can you always find something to read in the loo, you can now impress your Halloween guests with its creepy nature. While nature takes place, so to speak. Buy it here and this is what you’ll receive…

Next up is The Snacking Dead: A Parody in a Cookbook, which mixes up various evil puns with some ridiculously deathly tasty recipes. They’re all things for every one as well, so you don’t have to just be a blood-thirsty meat eater as they’ve included some veggie options. So if you’re a Zombie looking for a little something different, you’ve got the right book.

We particularly enjoyed Nachos of the Living Dead, Virulently Infectious Butterscotch Chocolate Chippers and you must have a go at the Unsuspecting Pigs in Blankets. The latter has nothing to do with David Cameron, so we hear, but should satisfy your guests. So that’s good.

What Halloween party would be complete without the need for possible Zombie Apocalypse escape plans? With all that food and alcohol on the table, it has to be considered a possibility. Pick up your ‘easy to stash’ Zombie Survival Guide cards that will help you in any situation with complete protection from the living dead. And if all else fails? Aim to the head and throw them very, very fast. Think Shaun of the Dead and that vinyl scene as they’re sturdy cards!

There’s advise on boarding up those windows with whatever is left in the kitchen or the shed, the consideration of factors when choosing weapons and – intriguingly – if you can find yourself a horse then you’ve got a mighty getaway!

In desperate times, all these items will help you both before and after any end of the world situation (We may not promise this) and are available now from Firebox.
