The Horror Collection: Engraved Candles for People Who Take Halloween Seriously
There are two kinds of Halloween people. The ones who buy a bag of plastic skeletons from the seasonal aisle in mid-October, and the ones who have opinions about which Halloween sequel is the good one.
This collection is for the second kind. Six horror icons engraved into real cherry hardwood lids, sitting on hand-poured three-wick soy candles. Plus two slate coaster sets for when people come over. No plastic, nothing that gets thrown out on November 1st.
For the slasher purist
These four are the backbone of the collection. Freddy, Michael, Pennywise, and Chucky, each one engraved deep into a real cherry hardwood lid. Not printed, not a sticker, not a decal that peels in a year. Burned into the grain.
If you're shopping for someone whose October is a rewatch schedule rather than a vibe, pick the one that matches their poster. They already know which it is.

For the Burton kid
Not everyone wants a killer on their coffee table. The Nightmare Before Christmas pair is the softer end of the collection, and it's the one that stays out past Halloween, because Jack has always belonged to both holidays and nobody has ever settled that argument.
The Jack & Sally lid is the one people buy in twos. It shows up as an anniversary gift more often than a Halloween one.

For the one hosting the party
Candles set the mood. Coasters save the table. Both sets are four engraved pieces on natural black slate, which is the right material for this because the engraving comes out bone-white against the stone. There isn't a subtler way to do horror than white on black rock.
The Classic Portrait set is the straight tribute. The “Shh” set catches all four mid-shush, which is the better of the two if the person has a sense of humour about it. At $24.95 for four, they're the easy add-on to a candle.

Order before the rush
Everything here is engraved to order, one at a time, by one person. The queue in the second half of October gets long, and I'd rather tell you now than apologize later.
Order by October 20th to be comfortable for the 31st. After that I'll still take orders, and I'll still do my best, but you're rolling the dice on the post office rather than on me.
