‘Aftersun’, ‘Scrapper’, ‘Rye Lane’, ‘Saltburn’...and who could forget the several weeks of early summer when we all went absolutely bonkers for Barbenheimer? Suffice to say it’s been a big ol’ year for cinema here in London town. Here’s some gift-giving inspo for your cinephile friend who saw them all twice.

If you’re stuck for pop-culture gift ideas, London design emporium We Are Dorothy has your back. Catching our eye this year are these stocking-filling horror movie business cards. They’re all made with the kind of attention to detail that would pass the Patrick Bateman test and represent everyone from psychiatrist Dr Hannibal Lecter to ‘children’s entertainer’ Pennywise.

At Hackney indie clothing store Scrt it’s all about local artists putting fresh design spins on iconic movies. Obviously ‘American Psycho’s Patrick Bateman wouldn’t be seen dead at a baseball game, but he’d raise a wolfish grin to this sly nod to his favourite restaurant. The cap is Dorsia-quality too, made from cotton twill with an embroidered logo. Pick one up online for the Bret Easton Ellis fan or pop down to the label’s flagship store in Shoreditch.

The ultimate pressie for the horror aficionado in your life, this groundbreaking piece of movie merch will spruce up their mantlepiece with some stylishly demonic vibes, make a nice jewellery stand or just burn some fragrant incense (or something stronger). It’s a cool AF tie-in with this year’s breakout ‘Talk to Me’ and retails on the ever-browsable store of hip-as-hell US indie studio A24. What a party piece.
