Who doesn’t like reading books and/or watching movies? When it comes to buying gifts for someone who has a favorite movie or book series, the possibilities are endless: framed posters, movie collection, mugs and even clothing.

The franchise consists of 12 films so it will take some time for me to watch all of them :) I’ve seen a few, but not all of the movies so having a little marathon should be fun. Nightmare on Elm Street, another franchise, this time consisting of […]
