With Christmas & Hanukkah just around the corner I decided to promote some gift ideas I thought you the “gift giver” would like for that lovable yet morbid grave hunter, death hag, celebrity death freak, in your life.

First on the list is the 2011 Year In Death Calender. This is not your typical monthly calendar.  For each day in the 12 months of the year. The calendar lists a celebrity or other noteworthy person who dropped dead on that particular day, then to spice things up just a bit the cause of death is also listed.  The calendar is accompanied by a tasteful, yet morbidly creative photo montage  for each month.

The 2011 Year In Death Calendar retails for $24.99 with shipping included in the U S of A. Unfortunately if you live in Canada or  elsewhere in the world the price is increased.

If your interested in giving the calendar to the morbid one in your life for any gift giving reason. There are two ways to buy the calendar. The first way  is the easiest just go to cemeteryguide.com on the main page you will see the cover of the calendar. Click on the link where it says “click here” (or if your more inclined to do so) you can just click here. And be taken directly to the page on the Cemetery Guide website. Here’s the second way to buy this snazzy, one of a kind “I just gotta have it” calendar. If you live in the Los Angeles area you can find the calendar at Larry Edmund’s Bookstore.

Next up I present to you the “gift giver” some reasonably priced DVD’s which would be the perfect stocking stuffer for the morbidly devout death hag. First on the DVD list is Dearly Departed Vol. I. According to the product description “Dearly Departed Vol. I which is hosted by nationally recognized Tinseltown historian Scott Michaels. Is an all-access tour of the “backlots” of L.A.–locations where the most infamous murders, suicides and bizarre crimes involving A-listers have taken place.”

The second DVD I highly recommend as the perfect stocking stuffer for the morbid one in your life or anyone interested in the Manson murders. Is Dearly Departed Vol. II also known as The Six Degree’s of Helter Skelter.

According to the description “The Six Degrees of Helter Skelter is a hauntingly unique retelling of the notorious Manson Family Murders. With original Manson Family music recordings, rare vintage photos of the story’s major players, and never-before-seen autopsy reports, viewers are taken on an insightful exploration of over 40 key locations associated with the spree that rocked Los Angeles – and shocked the world – in August 1969″ SERIOUSLY recommended its bone chilling good.

And finally the last DVD which comes highly recommended by the Motorcity Morbid One is “Grave Hunting With Steve: A Journey Beneath Los Angeles” According to the product description “Join author and grave hunter Steve Goldstein as we dig up 100 years of Hollywood history through extensive tours of Hollywood Forever, Hillside Memorial Park, and Holy Cross cemeteries, including the gravesites and stories of Al Jolson, Aaron Spelling, Cecil B. De Mille, Griffith J. Griffith, John Huston, Rudolph Valentino, Moe Howard, Dee Dee Ramone, Meyer “Mickey” Cohen, Eddie and Toni Mannix, Jack Benny, Bela Lugosi, John Candy, Sharon Tate, and dozens more.
