Five Star Gift Ideas

If your dad is a big fan of cosmic horror movies, then there are some gift ideas you can consider that cater to his interests. Here are some of them:

1. Lovecraftian Books: Cosmic horror is heavily influenced by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, so getting your dad a collection of Lovecraftian books would be perfect. He may already have some of Lovecraft's stories, but you can look for other authors who specialize in cosmic horror, such as Thomas Ligotti, Laird Barron, or John Hornor Jacobs.

2. Horror movie posters: You can look for vintage or modern movie posters of cosmic horror movies that your dad can hang up in his man cave, bedroom or office. Some famous movies in this genre include "The Thing", "In the Mouth of Madness", and "Event Horizon".

3. Lovecraftian board games: There are some board games that are inspired by Lovecraft's cosmic horror universe. One example is Arkham Horror, a cooperative game where players take on the role of investigators trying to stop the return of an Ancient One. Another option is Cthulhu Wars, where players control various Great Old Ones and try to conquer the world.

4. Cosmic Horror Artwork: You can search for art prints inspired by cosmic horror movies and Lovecraftian themes. These could be original prints created by talented artists or you can find prints of well-known artists like Richard Corben, H.R. Giger or Michael Whelan.

5. Cosmic horror T-shirts: There are a lot of T-shirt designs that carry references to Lovecraftian stories or movies, such as Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, or Shoggoths. Get your dad his own spooky and stylish t-shirts to show off his fandom.

6. Horror movie subscription box: There are subscription boxes that cater to lovers of horror movies, horror music and literature. You can surprise your dad every month with a box that contains items related to his interests like movies, soundtracks, books or t-shirts.

These are just a few ideas that I hope will help you come up with a unique and personal gift for your dad. With a bit of research and creativity, you can find the ideal present that will surprise and delight him on his special day.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
