Drklght Clothing "Disney Goth" Pop-Up Shop

Drklght Clothing makes rad Disney Goth clothing (along with wrestling, horror, goth, LGBTQ, straight edge, workout, and more clothing) and this Saturday they are hosting a pop-up shop in Anaheim, California, home of Disneyland, right before Bat's Day!

They will be selling t-shirts, spirit jerseys, candles, pins, and more and are offering a free "Death Certificate" to the first 25 customers. This pop-up will be held at The Doll Hut at 107 S. Adams Street in Anaheim, California from noon to 4 PM this Saturday, May 4th, 2019.

I have the Disney Goth tee and I love it so much!! It is perfect to wear to the parks and turn some heads, and especially fun to wear on Bat's Day, which is this Sunday, May 5th and is a gathering of spooky fiends who love Disneyland!

If you can't make this pop up, you can buy Drklght Clothing on their website, www.drklght.com!

13 Krampus Gifts For Those On The Naughty List

Merry Krampusnacht to you ghouls and boils! Krampus has been around for centuries, but just seems to keep gaining in popularity here in the United States. If you're not familiar, Krampus, or the Christmas Devil, is a horned, cloven-footed monster that punishes naughty children on the night of December 5th, or Krampusnacht (Krampus Night). He is kinda the anti-Santa Claus, or more like Santa Claus' evil counterpart. He collects naughty children into his sack, then whips them as punishment.

The Christmas season is typically filled with sweetness and light, so I always welcome a figure that represents the darker side of the holiday. And I'm not the only one - lots of people have taken to Krampus and treat him as kind of the dark lord of the holidays. As a result, there are so many fun Krampus-themed gifts available, from toys to clothing to candles to books to decor and a whole lot more!

I've put together a list of 13 gifts to get yourself or your favorite Krampus-lover:

Tee No Evil Halloween Treat T-Shirt Giveaway

CONTEST CLOSED: Winner announced on the original post on my Instagram!

I've been fan of Tee No Evil and their horror and Halloween designs ever since I scored their limited edition tee at the very first Midsummer Scream! They have absolutely stunning and original horror and Halloween tees, made of durable, thick, soft, high-quality cotton. Wearing one of their unique designs guarantees you'll stand out from the rest, for many seasons to come, and now you can enter to to win two of their incredible t-shirts!

Halloween 2018 Tees and Sweatshirts at Target

I just shared some tees and pajamas Target was starting to stock in-stores last week (see the post HERE), but I went back to Target a few days ago and found even more Halloween t-shirts in the women's section as well as a few sweatshirts. There are some pretty creepy-cute ones (ummm, the one that combines tacos and Halloween is brilliant!). You can see all the new clothing items I spotted below:

Halloween 2018 Tees and Pajamas at Target

Last night I went to Target to check out their dollar section again (wow, it was completely decimated and picked clean of Halloween items!), and while that was a bust I did see some of the brand new Halloween t-shirts and pajamas they had out in the women's and pajama sections.

It looked like most of it had just been put out (UPDATE: they put out MORE new designs - check them out HERE!!), as there were only a few items of each design, but there were some adorable tees, cozy sweatshirts, long-sleeved shirts, and even pajama sets! Once Target has more sizes out, I can't wait to get my claws on some of these! Check out what I saw below:

Vegan Vampire Merch for Spooky Vegans

There are a ton of vegan companies that sell stickers and t-shirts, but how many spooky vegan companies can you think of? Probably not many, which is why I was delighted to discover Vegan Vampire Inc., a company that makes vegan merch for the strange and unusual! Their entire line of vegan apparel and accessories is for those that enjoy the dark side and it draws inspiration from goth, punk, and metal music, horror films, monsters, and all things creepy and kooky!

Goth Gifts for the Strange and Unusual

Many darklings (myself included), struggle when telling our families and friends what kind of gifts we would like to receive during the holidays. Now, I know we should be grateful for whatever we receive (even if it is your millionth copy of The Nightmare Before Christmas), but wouldn't it be great if we could nudge our friends and family in the correct creepy direction?

I created this gift guide for goths the past couple years to not only share some fiendish finds I wouldn't mind having for myself but to also to make it easier on those that are shopping for strangelings. This year, I've listed items that are mostly from small independent shops and artists with a few products from larger companies. You will find something for everyone, including art, t-shirts, totes, banners, perfume, wallets, pillows, games, accessories,  hoodies, and more! As always, all items listed below are vegan and cruelty-free to the best of my knowledge.

Halloween 2017 at Spirit Halloween

Spirit Halloween! Love the big werewolf prop they have this year and their

spooky cute walk-through!

Is there anything better than seeing Halloween stores like Spirit Halloween pop up?! They are one of the harbingers of Halloween and I always look forward to their banners adorning otherwise vacant buildings. Last week I headed out to the closest Spirit Halloween store that was open and basically had the whole store to myself! They were still setting up most of their displays and didn't have everything out yet, but I was still so excited for the chance to get in and check out all their Halloween props, decor and costumes!

Halloween 2017 Tees at Target

Halloween tees at Target!

I took a bit of a vacation last week to visit my family up in the remote redwood forests of Northern California, which is why I haven't posted in a week. As soon as I got back, though, the Halloween hunt was on and I was back in stores scoping out Halloween goodies! My first stop was Target - I was really hoping their Dollar Spot section would have Halloweenie items, but no such luck at my local Target, as that section was still filled with back-to-school junk.

However, I did find a few Halloweenie t-shirts and clothing items in the women's and girl's sections of Target! Many are repeats of last year (or maybe leftover stock they are trying to get rid of?), but there are a few NEW creepy-cute items. I was really digging the little kids' clothes - I wish those designs came in adult sizes! 

Check out what Halloween tees and more Target had in stock:

Goth Gift Guide for the Eternally Odd and Eerie

I know how hard it is to find unique gifts for your favorite darkling or even yourself, so I've compiled some suggestions for you below to make this gift-giving season easier. These are all items I would love to receive, so this gift guide doubles as a wish list for myself as well!

I have suggestions for creepy clothes, eerie artwork, dark decor, scintillating scents and candles, and so much more! Of course, all fabrics/perfumes/candles/etc. are cruelty-free and vegan. In addition, the most of the items below are from small businesses (and even a non-profit), so your money is going to a good place and allowing like-minded gothlings to thrive!

Take a peek below at my Goth Gift Guide for the Eternally Odd and Eerie:

Halloween 2016 Shirts at Target

The women's Halloween shirts have been out for a few weeks at Target and while I already shared some HERE, I thought I'd share ALL the ones I've spotted so far. They should be out at all Target stores now, so go get some of these creepy-cute tees, tanks, and baseball shirts! Most (if not all) of the shirts pictured here are around $12.99. Happy haunting!

First Look: Halloween 2016 at Target

 Halloween 2016 shirts at Target! 

I popped into Target to get a few things on Friday and squealed with excitement when I spotted a few Halloween items in their dollar section AND their brand new Halloween 2016 t-shirts! Sure, it's only a few Halloween things so far, but it made me so happy to see Halloween stuff at Target coming in! Check out more pics of my finds below:

Wish List: Vegan Tees I Want NOW!

I discovered two rad vegan tees in the past couple of weeks that are worth sharing here. I have a TON of tees, so I have some strict requisites for buying new ones. First and foremost, I like my tees like I like my coffee - black and bold. And secondly, while I like them bold, I like the lines of any designs to be clean and simple. Finally, I look for designs that are slightly weird and/or dark-themed, which I suppose you could call goth or metal.

The two t-shirts below (both from small companies based in the UK) fit my requirements perfectly! I may just have to splurge on them and have them shipped across the ocean to me. Check them both out below:

Esoteric Order of Vegans tee

The obscure cult of the Esoteric Order Of Vegans. Worship Elder Gods whose maddening influence will not only scramble your brains, it'll scramble your tofu.

14 Perfect Gifts for Your Spooky Vegan Valentine

It's almost Valentine's Day again, and though I'm not the biggest fan of the holiday, I couldn't resist putting together a gift guide full of goodies for your Valentine, which kinda doubles as my own personal wishlist as many of the items are gothy and dark, along with being cruelty-free and vegan! These are the kinds of things I would loooooove to receive for Valentine's Day (or any ol' day)! Even though I don't believe you need to give gifts of monetary value to express your love, the items below are quite handy as tokens of affection!

Product Review: District Vegan Tees

Ok, I seriously must have been living under a rock, because I just recently discovered the utterly fabulous District Vegan line, run by none other than my very good Instagram/Facebook friend, Toni! I can't believe it took me this long to clue into her fantastic designs, ranging from t-shirts to stickers to sweaters to pins and more!

District Vegan is a one-woman operation, and on top of designing the tees, Toni also handles all packaging, shipping, etc. Speaking of packaging, she uses upcycled materials like re-purposed grocery bags or boxes whenever possible. If all that isn't awesome enough, 10% of proceeds are donated to animal rights rescue and advocacy groups! When I ordered my goodies in October, a portion went to Bat World Sanctuary, which made me so happy!!

Sneak Peek: Halloween 2015 at Target

Cute lawn signs and wooden signs that were around $3 in the Dollar Spot section.
Um, how perfect is that spooky bat sign?! I would have bought it if it wasn't so
sparkly!

I stopped into Target over the weekend, and was pleasantly surprised to see a few Halloween items in a few sections! Not much yet at the particular store I visited, but we all know how long Target takes to put the full glory of their Halloween goodies out (we are looking at mid- to late-September), so I was stoked to see just a few orange and black items popping up!

Here are a few photos of the Halloween 2015 products I spotted so far at Target, which I consider a sneak peek of things to come!

New Halloween Shirt from Awful Art

 I love this Halloween shirt!

Every year I try to buy Halloween-themed shirts to add to my collection, but this year the pickings have been rather slim. However, just last week I discovered AwfulArt.com, which is the art of Nathan Willison, and found my new favorite Halloween tee for 2014!

Target's Halloween Shirts (and more) for 2014

"I'm With Creepy" is one of the coolest shirts Target has available

this Halloween season!

Target has some pretty awesome women's clothes for Halloween this year! Besides the usual t-shirts, they also have leggings and panties! Check them out below!

13 Days of Creepmas: Ugly Creepmas Sweaters

The ugly Christmas sweater and the ensuing ugly Christmas sweater parties have become pretty popular over the years. On the plus side, at least you have occasion to wear that lopsided Rudolph sweater that your great Aunt Gertrude knitted. On the negative side, you have to wear an ugly Christmas sweater.

However, nowadays you are in luck, because you can find some pretty neat "ugly Creepmas sweaters", ones that are perfect for spooky kids like us!

I did a little browsing online, and here are some of the creepiest and coolest ones I found:

Merry Krampus sweater

Zombie Christmas Tee

Cthulhu Christmas Sweater

Gothic Skull Sweater

Fear Isle Killer Santa Sweater Tee

Krampus Snowflake Sweater

Green Skull Sweater

Check out more ugly Creepmas sweaters and even more Creepmas sweaters for the wicked!

Target's Halloween Shirts for 2012

It seems that every year Target has less and less Halloween shirts...such a shame! This year it looks like they just have a few women's Halloween shirts. Plus they don't have any Halloween pajamas or even socks!! I'm hoping they just haven't put them out yet, but the Target I went to was fairly well-stocked with the rest of their Halloween items. Boo.

Oh well...I can always reminisce about the shirts they had last year or the year before and wear the ones I bought previously!

Here are the shirts I saw at Target this past weekend:

 This was the cutest one I saw!

 Lame...totally lame.

I love owls and this was sooooo cute, but I didn't like the glittery moon

so I didn't buy it.
