A Bloodthirsty Pendant for the Goth Tree

It does take a bit of nerve to hang this bloodthirsty, angry-eyed bat on your Christmas tree. Some of your visitors may well fear it will swoop down on them – or on the red wine in their glass, which it mistakes for blood… This unusual Gothic Christmas ornament featuring the 'Angry Bat', 7.5 cm tall, 10.5 cm wide and 2.5 cm deep, is crafted from hand-painted polyresin. In any case, it is an exciting piece of décor.

Black Christmas in the Tradition of the Vampire Bat

While native European bats are peaceful insect-eaters, the South American vampire bat has supplied the genre with its unsettling image ever since Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' – an image translated here into a fiercely outstretched pendant. In the Gothic scene, black Christmas trees with dark ornaments – bats, spiders, skulls – have established themselves since the 2000s as a serious alternative to classic tree décor; some collectors keep their Halloween tree up all year round. This Christmas ornament therefore makes a sombre accent for Gothic collectors, a gift for Halloween fans and vampire lovers, or a tongue-in-cheek twist on the traditional fir tree, reliably leaving guests caught between fascination and a quiet shiver.
