Cult of Weird holiday gift guide

Cult of Weird 2017 Holiday Gift Guide

The gift guide for those of us who would rather find our stockings stuffed with the feet they came from.

It’s that special time of year when we hope to find skulls, vintage occult artifacts, disturbing books, and mummified human remains under the tree…but end up with matching monogram socks and stationary, instead. So this Christmas, whether you’re shopping for a weirdo, or you are the weirdo, the Cult of Weird holiday gift guide is here to ease your suffering.

At least a little. We can’t do much about the music and merriment.
