Fall has arrived, which means it is time to explore hay mazes and pumpkin patches, to cuddle up with a PSL and to watch scary movies!
Now, the best of both worlds would be enjoying a warm beverage while soaking up a classic horror film… and doing so while drinking out of a horror-themed mug. That is why this list exists: It is full of mugs that are based on and inspired by spooky flicks. Any of these cups belong in the collections of those who are into this genre, and they would all make bootiful gifts to give this month.
Michael Myers Heat Changing Cup
Mugs can be used to hold a morning cup of coffee. It can be used while drinking tea in the afternoon. Mugs can be displayed amongst other pieces of memorabilia. Or it can act as a vase or a pen holder on a desk. This is no ordinary mug, though: At first, it looks like a normal black mug, with John Carpenter's Halloween logo on it.
Once a warm beverage is poured in, though, Michael Myers face is revealed, like magic! This high-quality ceramic and heat-changing cup is sure to please any and all horror fans.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Heat Activated Morphing Mug
Another color-changing and heat-activated mug is up next, and it shows off another well-known movie villain: Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street.
This item starts off as basic, black and sort of boring, and in an instant and with the help of a drink like tea or a food like soup, a hidden image can be revealed… one that is bloody and perfect for fans of this claw-handed character. This gift suggestion holds 11 ounces, is made of ceramic and is designed and made in the USA, as well.
Jason Mask with Knife 3D Mug
This next mug holds a whopping 20 ounces, and it has a sculpted 3D design that shows off Jason Voorhees’ mask and knife, as seen in the Friday the 13th flicks.
A normal mug, that is rounded and smooth, is fine. It gets the job done. It can still provide copious amounts of caffeine. But a detailed one like this acts as a cup and a piece of memorabilia, which can be displayed during the Halloween season or all year long, for those who are very into this scary story.
Pennywise 3D Mug
Another 3D-sculpted cup is up next, and it features the clown from It, Pennywise. It holds 21 ounces, it uses a bright white and vibrant orange to display this recognizable clown face, and it is free of BPA and toxins.
As mentioned, coffee- and tea-drinkers would surely appreciate this item, but mugs can also be used as decorations during a Halloween party or as items that simply set out to honor a specific movie and to show the world how great this genre is.
Squad Coffee Mug
Everyone has their people, their tribe, their group of friends and family members or their squad, and for fans of scary movies, this is the ultimate squad: There is Michael Myers from Halloween, Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Leather from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
Yes, all four of these popular and villainous characters are on this high-quality mug that won’t fade, that is packaged and shipped from the U.S. and that is safe for the dishwasher and microwave.
Redrum Mug
As those who are into Stephen King stories and those who have read or watched The Shining know, “redrum” is “murder” spelled backwards.
That being said, this next mug is straight from this chilling tale, and it is perfect for hot or cold beverages. It can also be repurposed, put on display and set out just during Halloween, as it has bright coloring on it that was professionally printed and that is safe for the dishwasher. So while any mug will do the trick, know that horror fans deserve one like this.
Chucky Mug with Spinner
Another popular character from this genre is Chucky, the doll from Child’s Play. And another amazing mug is this one, which holds 20 ounces, which has an easy-grip handle, which is made from a durable ceramic, which is free of toxins and BPA and which has a graphic of a knife-wielding and bloody Chucky on one side (with the words “friends ‘til the end”) and with a spinner on the other side; the spinner has this little guy’s head on it, making this sort of like a horrific fidget spinner!
The Conjuring Warrens Movie Cinema Mug
Next up is an 11-ounce marble ceramic coffee mug that is printed on both sides and that is microwave- and dishwasher-safe. It references the Warrens Movie Cinema, meaning this is a great gift idea for those who enjoyed The Conjuring movies or the Annabelle movies.
Ed and Lorraine Warren were actual paranormal investigators whose adventures helped in creating some of the most well-known flicks of this genre. And this high-quality mug is an awesome way to honor them, their careers and these super entertaining films!
Classic Monster Movies Mug
The classic monsters of this genre need a little love, too, so up next is an item that shows off several of them. It is another marble ceramic mug. It is made with non-toxic and durable materials.
It is great for daily use when enjoying a drink, or it can be set out as a decoration, since its design wraps around the entire cup, putting a good number of these old films on display. Yes, true buffs and fans of horror will know and love the stories that are referenced on this mug, so keep this in mind when shopping.
Horror Movie Addict Mug
This last product suggestion gets straight to the point since it says “Horror Movie Addict” on it in big, bold and black letters. There are also some blood splatters featured, which act like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae and really finish this mug off in a great way.
It holds 11 ounces, it is made of white ceramic, it is dishwasher-safe, it has its graphic printed on both sides, and it is a perfect thing for a scary movie-watcher to buy and/or receive this month!
