Are you a fan of all things horror? Do spooky stories grab your attention? Do you gravitate toward the ghastly? If the answer is yes, we have a business you just need to meet.

Emerald Moon Creations, owned and operated by Misty Allen, specializes in products that celebrate the macabre, including stickers, tumblers, tote bags, t-shirts and more.

When asked why she loves making products that cater to a specific audience, Allen replied: “Halloween has always been my favorite holiday, I absolutely love all things spooky/scary/paranormal. Horror movies are my number 1 genre of movies. I am always looking to connect with people who share the love of spooky and horror, bonus points if they are a mom too.”

The artwork on her creations has been drawn by Allen herself, and she also prints her stickers herself. One of her bestsellers is the “drip tumbler,” which, when flipped, drips a liquid between the transparent walls of the tumbler. Paired with a spooky sticker, this tumbler definitely catches some attention. Allen hopes that her customers can find a little happiness or enjoyment with her creations.

If you are looking for a unique gift for a fan of the ghoulish and the frightful, be sure to check out Emerald Moon Creations!
