Dream Collectibles: Horror Snow Globes

Awhile back, I was reading one of the special convention issues of Horrorhound Magazine (Killer Klowns/House By the Cemetery issue) and came across the page dedicated to horror snow globes. First of all, for some strange reason I had never knew something as magnificent as this even existed. So I grabbed my laptop and hurried onto Ebay to see what I could find.

The first I stumbled upon was a 30th anniversary Halloween VHS/Snow Globe Set that included...

This little gem.

I was in awe of it. Something so small and so simple could actually be so fantastic like this? It was at this moment that I decided that it was my duty to collect as many of these as possible. The only problem? Besides the majority of them being very rare, the ones that I do find are very expensive. For example, the Halloween box set goes for $99.99 on Ebay; the only place I could find it. Other ones like the Alien Vs. Predator globe goes for the small amount of $399.99. Yeah...small price. 

Now the one I'm truly interested in is this piece of work.

From what I've heard, this is a truly rare snow globe. I guess at the screening of The Amityville Horror remake in 2005, there were several of these bad boys handed out after members of the audience were asked to make up haikus about the film. Lucky sons of bitches. 

I am DYING to get myself one of these. Instead of snow, it's actually a "blood globe" and it also lights up too! I can only imagine how badass that must look at night. But anyways, this is number one on my list of wants. So if anyone has one or knows someone willing to let it go....you know where I am.

Other than Halloween and Amityville, there are many other variations of snow globes out there, ranging from Friday the 13th to A Nightmare on Elm Street to the earlier classic movie monsters like Frankenstein and Dracula. I gotta have them. 

Here's a few examples of these wonderful creations.

Tonight will be filled with dreams of shaking these beauties, hoping someday that they will in fact, be mine.
