20 awesome Halloween gifts to give this season (Plus: Win a Motionless In White merch pack!)
“Wait, AP. Halloween month? Isn’t Halloween just a day?” Psh! No! Halloween and punk rock go together like bloo-… milk and cookies, so we’re making a month of it with our SEVEN CIRCLES OF SCARE series, where we’ll be bringing you seven new frightful stories in the weeks leading up to October 31.
With just a week until the big day arrives, we were thinking: Why does Christmas get all the fun? The very best gifts are out this time of the year, after all. So, we haunted the interwebs for a selection of 20 creepy, inexpensive gifts for you and your Halloween-loving friends to exchange this season.
BONUS: We’re giving away a bundle from Motionless In White’s Halloween merch collection to one commenter. Tell us your favorite MIW song in the comments to enter!
