Not all geeks are haunters, but a lot of haunters seem to be geeks. Myself included.
The Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines "geek" this way:
Pronunciation: ˈgēk
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from English dial. geek, geck fool, from Low German geck, from Middle Low German
Date: 1914
1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake
2 : a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked
3 : an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity
(I bet there are even a few haunters that fit that first description).
Anyway, this long introduction is leading up to a post about a fun web site, ThinkGeek.com. This has a lot of geeky gifts for the holiday season. You know, that other holiday, where things are cheerful and bright and happy (shiver).
But some of these gifts are tailor-made for us. Like the Dismember Me Plush Zombie:
Or, for the younger set, try this bib that lets the kids know just where they stand when the zombie apocalypse begins:
How about a T-shirt for the wannabe vampires in our midst?
Or perhaps you can give your heart to your loved one:
