The Vault of Horror's Ultimate Christmas Gift Guide

Yes, folks, the holiday season is drawing near once again! Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice/Festivus is almost upon us. And you know what that means. Peace on Earth? Good will toward men? Sure, all that stuff, too--but I'm thinking of gift guides. So I figured, why not put in my two cents, as well? Here's a look at some goodies that happened to catch my eye, for that special sicko in your life. I've organized them by release date:
